The so-called “solstice ridge” was true to its name on Wednesday, accounting for numerous<\/span> record high temperatures across both eastern and western Colorado. Even though moisture levels were relatively low, combined with the warm temperatures, adequate instability generated isolated<\/span> to scattered<\/span> showers and storms across many parts of the state. Most rainfall amounts were nothing to write home about, generally a few tenths of an inch. Some more intense storms developed in the southeast part of the state, where the best low-level moisture was found. A USGS gage in Las Animas county measured a downpour of about 0.86 inches in less than an hour. Also, a few strong to severe storms formed in Prowers and Baca counties during the late afternoon. Isolated<\/span> amounts of 1 inch were likely here, over the rural (ungauged) countryside.<\/p>\n Flooding was not reported on Wednesday.
