Summary:<\/h3>\n

On average, May is the wettest month of the year for many weather observing stations east of the Continental Divide<\/span> and yesterday, those averages did not lie. Most of Colorado was blanketed with a thick cloud deck by sunrise that persisted throughout the day. As Colorado typically receives around 240 sunny days per year, the recent streak of consecutive rainy days has left many residents wondering if they are in the right place! But, as our Flood Threat Outlook shows, the rainy days will likely keep on coming right through the weekend. Stay tuned for an update on the long-range forecast tomorrow by 3PM.<\/p>\n

Back to yesterday’s weather, many locations across the state received over an inch of rain. As noted by CoCoRaHS<\/span> observers, the following counties experienced 1 inch or more rainfall: Garfield, El Paso, Weld, Adams, Denver, Routt, Eagle, Cheyenne and Fremont. However, hourly rain amounts were in the 0.2-0.5 inch intensity, preventing any flood threat. Nonetheless, many urban areas saw minor ponding of water in the streets.<\/p>\n

No flooding was reported yesterday.<\/p>\n
