Issue Date: Sunday, June 17th, 2018
\nIssue Time: 9:30 AM MDT<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/h3>\n

The remnants of Bud overspread the state yesterday, increasing moisture and providing plenty of cloud cover, especially west of the Continental Divide<\/span>. A more robust dry slot than expected in the mid-level moisture held the main flooding concerns off until the overnight hours, when a burst of shower\/thunderstorm activity over the Southwest Slope impacted the 416 Fire burn area. This burst occurred between the hours of 3 AM and 6 AM, with lingering showers continuing to impact the area this morning. At 5:53 AM MDT, trained spotters reported flash flooding<\/span> with rock and debris across Highway 550 just north of Durango. Rain rates between 0.25-0.50 inches\/hour were reported by the National Weather Service, showing just how quickly the burn scar reacted to moderate precipitation. CoCoRaHS<\/span> observers across La Plata County reported more than 0.70 inches in the general vicinity of the 416 Fire burn area, with localized values greater than 1 inch.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

East of the Continental Divide<\/span>, scattered<\/span> thunderstorms rumbled during the afternoon and evening hours, across two main areas: 1) The Northeast Plains, northern Front Range, and northern Urban Corridor, where an increase in moisture from the east\/northeast and convergence along a surface boundary aided thunderstorm development, and 2) along the CO\/KS border, where a plume of moisture from Bud overspread the area in conjunction with daytime heating. Some street ponding occurred across portions of the northern Urban Corridor, where the strongest thunderstorm complex of the day produced small hail and a period of moderate-to-heavy rainfall.<\/p>\n

\nThe map below shows radar-estimated, rainfall gage-adjusted Quantitative Precipitation Estimates (QPE<\/span>) across Colorado. The map is updated daily during the operational season (May 1 – Sep 30) by 11AM. The following six layers are currently available: 24-hour, 48-hour and 72-hour total precipitation, as well as maximum 1-hour, 2-hour and 6-hour precipitation over the past 24 hour period (to estimate where flash flooding<\/span> may have occurred). The 24-hour, 48-hour and 72-hour total precipitation contain bias corrections that are not disaggregated into the hourly estimates, so there will likely be some differences. The accumulation ending time is 6AM of the date shown in the bottom right corner. Also shown optionally are fire burn areas (post 2012), which are updated throughout the season to include new burn areas. The home button in the top left corner resets the map to the original zoom.\n

Note: We have identified a possible underestimation in QPE<\/span> over the southwest part of the state. We are working to on this issue, and will provide an update as soon as possible.<\/span>
