Issue Date: Thursday, August 18th, 2016
\nIssue Time: 9:00 AM MDT<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/h3>\n

With a mostly disorganized upper-level pattern, showers and thunderstorms relied largely on terrain influences and weak surface convergence to drive yesterday’s activity. Showers\/storms favored the higher terrain, especially across the western third of the state where better support from the mid-\/upper-level trough<\/span> could be found. Widely scattered<\/span> showers\/storms also developed across the lower elevations of eastern Colorado as weak surface convergence developed along\/near the Palmer Ridge. Nearly all storms were garden variety, as the environment could not quite develop the punch needed for heavy rainfall.<\/p>\n

Rainfall winners, according to CoCoRaHS<\/span> observations (reports as of 7:00 AM MDT):<\/p>\n

Saguache County: 0.59 inches
\nFremont County: 0.36 inches
\nPueblo County: 0.35 inches
\nLake County: 0.31 inches<\/p>\n
