Summary<\/h3>\n

Widespread<\/span> rainfall made it across the Continental Divide<\/span> to affect almost all of eastern Colorado, courtesy of a compact but strong shortwave<\/span> moving across the state. Many Coloradoans along the entire I-25 corridor woke up to find light to moderate rain showers. Rain rates up to 0.25 inches per hour were common, providing beneficial rainfall without causing a runoff threat.<\/p>\n

Farther south where more sunshine and warmer temperatures were present, some thunderstorms were found though coverage was reduced compared to the past few days. Highest rainfall rates occurred in three areas. The first was in the southern part of the San Juan Mountains where close to 1 inch of rainfall fell. The second was along the central and southern parts of the Sangre de Cristos where 1 inch fell at a SNOTEL site on the CO\/NM border. The third was in the far southeast part of the state where a warm front provided a source of convergence and warm moist air, resulting in instability. Just over 2 inches of rainfall was observed at a CoCoRaHS<\/span> station in Baca County with even higher amounts possible as indicated by radar. A flood advisory was posted for the region, but fortunately no flooding reports were received as of this morning. Finally, we should note that the Hayden Pass burn area only received 0.1 to 0.3 inches of rainfall yesterday, which was fortunately not enough to cause any runoff.<\/p>\n
