Hot weather continued to the west of the Continental Divide<\/span> with a ridge axis overhead promoting plenty of sunshine and subsiding air. High temperatures of 5-10 F above normal were common, with many lower elevation locations topping out well above 90 F (Grand Junction hit 95 F). Significant snow melt was observed with 1 – 2 inches of snow water equivalent (SWE<\/span>) melting or sublimating over the course of the day. For example, the Schofield Pass SNOTEL site in the Elk Mountains had 20.5 inches of SWE<\/span> on Sunday morning but only 18.7 inches this morning. Fortunately, no snow-melt related flooding concerns were reported.<\/p>\n Elsewhere, a few rogue storms managed to beat the odds across south-central Colorado. The highest rainfall amounts were reported in the driest part of the state – the San Luis Valley. Up to 0.4 inches of rainfall was reported, with a few hundredths being reported across the Great Sand Dunes. For everyone else, it was a pleasant and warm Sunday.<\/p>\n For precipitation estimates in your area, check out our Precipitation Map below. Flooding was not reported on Sunday.<\/p>\n
