Quite a different story over the Grand Valley and Central Mountains where heavy rainfall was reported. While 1-hour totals were under flood threat criteria, 24-hour totals were quite high over the very dry soils, which likely increased runoff. In Delta County there was a report of 1 inch. Mesa County had the highest observation of the day at 1.2 inches near Clifton. Garfield County also got in on the action with 1.18 inches over a 12 hour period. Radar rainfall estimations are as high as 1.5 inches. A debris flow was triggered by the rain around 5:30PM at the Redlands campground. Hail up to 1 inch and strong winds also were reported with the thunderstorms. Gusts between 50 to 65 mph were also recorded over western Colorado associated with the thunderstorms.<\/p>\n
To the east, severe thunderstorms<\/span> occurred over the far Southeast Plains during the afternoon before forming a cluster of thunderstorms during the evening hours. With dew points<\/span> in the 60Fs over the far eastern plains, heavy rainfall occurred with the storms. 24-hour totals just under 2 inches were recorded, but no flooding was reported as of this morning. Dry soils and nearly full-grown crops likely helped soaked up the rain.<\/p>\n To see how much precipitation fell over your neighborhood yesterday, scroll down to the State Precipitation Map below.<\/p>\nClick Here For Map Overview<\/h4>
