As expected, rainfall coverage continued to decrease on Saturday compared to previous days. True to Colorado standards, sunshine was widespread<\/span> in the morning, but quickly led to scattered<\/span> cumulus clouds by noon. Showers and weak thunderstorms popped up across many locations, especially east of the Continental Divide<\/span>. However, with limited instability in place, most storms were much more impressive looking than what their rain totals would suggest. Highest observed 24-hour amounts ending this morning were about 0.5 inches across eastern Colorado. Between the observation sites, radar estimates up to 0.75 inches are shown for parts of the Northeast Plains.<\/p>\n

With the warmer temperatures, snowmelt continued though in a very lethargic fashion. An overall cool May (especially when it comes to afternoon high temperature) has put snowmelt at many high-elevation locations about 5-10 days behind schedule. For example, shown below is the Columbus Basin SNOTEL site in the San Juan Mountains (source: NRCS) reading just under 15 inches of snow water equivalent. The site’s median for today is only about 2 inches, and this location is about 9 days behind its average melt schedule. Some great June river rafting seems to be in store across the state!<\/p>\n
