\nIssue Time: 9:30 AM MDT<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/h3>\n

Yesterday was marked by the return of calm conditions for much of the state, as high pressure settled in and brought cooler and drier air with it. A few isolated<\/span>, brief showers dotted the High Country during the afternoon and evening hours, resulting in mainly virga<\/span> and gusty winds with very little rainfall. Around 7:30 PM, a weak disturbance began to generate a few scattered<\/span> showers\/thunderstorms across the Raton Ridge, far eastern portions of the Palmer Ridge, and Southeast Plains. Activity peaked at around 11 PM, with a couple thunderstorms over the Raton Ridge in Las Animas County and a line of showers stretching across eastern Elbert, Lincoln, Cheyenne, Kiowa, Bent, and Prowers Counties. The showers\/thunderstorms were of the garden-variety, producing gusty winds and light-to-moderate rainfall.<\/p>\n

Flash flooding<\/span> did not occur yesterday. For a look at precipitation estimates in your area, please see our State Precipitation Map below.<\/p>\n

The 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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
