A strong late May sun quickly boosted morning temperatures on Memorial Day Monday. As a result, scattered<\/span> showers and storms erupted along the mountains and foothills east of the Continental Divide<\/span> before noon. Early storms were not particularly impressive, but as the afternoon wore on, storm updrafts and outflow boundaries<\/span> combined to form bigger storm complexes. By late afternoon, a few heavy downpours were noted in the Urban Corridor, Palmer Ridge, Southeast Plains and Southeast Mountains. One of the strongest storm cells of the day happened to pass right across a quality controlled USGS rain-gage located in the Pinon Canyon Military Reservation. About 1.5 inches fell over a 3-hour period there, with a few shorter term downbursts in the mix. Other storms moved over the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District’s gauges with up to 0.6 inches falling per 30 minutes.<\/p>\n In addition, a few hail reports, up to penny size, were received with the strongest storms.<\/p>\n For precipitation estimates in your area, check out our Precipitation Map below.
