Summary:<\/h3>\n

Another day of unsettled weather, however, storms were more scattered<\/span> in nature when compared to Wednesday. A final vorticity max moved through the state with the passing trough<\/span>. This initiated some light rainfall and convection<\/span> over the mountains early on (west), which moved east of the Divide<\/span> by early afternoon. The far eastern plains had a bit more instability and moisture to work with, so storm intensity picked east of HWY 71. However, a brief, small storm in the Littleton area produced some pea sized hail. A lone Severe Thunderstorm<\/span> Warning<\/span> was issued at 8PM for northeastern Crowley County, though there were no storm reports as of 9AM this morning. With high bases, rainfall totals were on the lower end of intensity with radar indicating 0.8 inches falling over Cheyenne and Kiowa Counties. Two CoCoRaHS<\/span> stations reported just under 0.6 inches for the day out east as well.<\/p>\n

Melting of the snowpack over the higher terrains continues. A handful of AHPS<\/a><\/span> stations are creeping towards Action stage, so please stay tuned with the daily FTBs. The Flood Advisory continues for the Conejos and San Antonio Rivers just east of Antonito when emergency management is still reporting minor flooding. Expect this to continue over the next few weeks.<\/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 7AM of the date shown in the bottom right corner. Also shown optionally are vulnerable fire burn areas (post 2012), which are updated throughout the season to include new, vulnerable burn areas. The home button in the top left corner resets the map to the original zoom.
