Issue Date: Tuesday, August 9th, 2016
\nIssue Time: 9:00 AM MDT<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/h3>\n

Drier air invaded from the west as the upper-level trough<\/span> continued to dig across the western US, which helped to shut down most activity yesterday west of the Continental Divide<\/span>. A few thunderstorms over San Miguel and Montrose counties took exception to this dry air, producing small hail (mainly pea-sized) and brief periods of light-to-moderate rainfall. Elsewhere, mostly sunny skies were the result of the overall atmospheric setup with only a couple isolated<\/span> showers over the higher terrain.<\/p>\n

East of the Divide<\/span>, a few stronger thunderstorms rumbled, producing periods of heavy rain and hail, with one severe hail report of 1.0 inch hail from 9 miles W of Peetz (Logan County). Heavy rain reports are as follows:<\/p>\n

1.75 inches of heavy rain: 8 miles NE of Spanish Peaks (Huerfano County)
\n1.18 inches of heavy rain: 4 miles S of Spanish Peaks (Las Animas County)<\/p>\n

No flash flooding<\/span> was reported, but street\/field ponding likely occurred underneath stronger thunderstorms. A small stream, associated with the first listed heavy rain report above, was reported to be running about 10x larger than normal. For a statewide look at 24-hour precipitation totals, please take a look at the Storm Total Precipitation map below.<\/p>\n
