A disturbance aloft, combined with orographic effects and daytime heating, made use of the available moisture to kick off scattered<\/span> showers and thunderstorms across the state. For most locations, the moisture profile was a bit “top heavy,” with drier low-levels resulting in mainly gusty winds and light-to-moderate rainfall. The lone storm report from western Colorado came from 1 mile north of Naturita (Montrose County), where a 40 mph thunderstorm wind gust was recorded by an AWOS station at the Nucla – Hopkins Field Airport. Over the Northeast Plains, however, better low-level moisture fueled a few bouts with moderate-to-heavy rainfall. An observer located 8 miles NNW of Stratton (Kit Carson County) reported 1.50 inches of heavy rain were measured yesterday afternoon.<\/p>\n No flash flooding<\/span> was reported.
