This increase in moisture, combined with the passage of a mid-level disturbance, provided support for greater coverage\/intensity of showers\/storms as compared to Monday. Most of the moisture existed between 2.5 and 3.5 km above ground level, which cut down on effective rain rates at the surface for most locations. However, as is typical of Colorado&rsquo;s atmosphere, one region outperformed the rest thanks to slow-moving storms and their ability to moisten the lower-levels.
