Issue Date: Tuesday, May 28th, 2019
\nIssue Time: 9:50AM MDT<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/h3>\n

Another wild weather day for eastern Colorado. Southwest flow in front of the low helped supply wind shear<\/span> for a severe thunderstorm<\/span> friendly environment over eastern Colorado. Large hail were reported with these storms as well as ample rainfall and tornadoes. There were 8 tornado reports with hail reports between 1 and 2 inches (further east in Yuma County). Two hour rainfall was measured between 2.5 and 3 inches over Logan County with 1-hr rain rates just over 1 inch. A Flash Flood<\/span> warning<\/span> was issued for Logan County at 6PM for areas west and north of Iliff. The highest CoCoRaHS<\/span> for the day was in Julesburg where 2-2.5 inches were reported. As if all that wasn’t exciting enough, a late night hail storm moved through Denver (just after 1AM), which woke up the entire metro area. Hail size ranged from pea to quarter with this storm. Rainfall was estimated to be around 0.5 inches in the core of the storm.<\/p>\n

To the west, more gradual rainfall was reported along with gusty winds (50-65 mph). Snow fell at the highest elevations with Silverton reporting 1.5 inches during the morning hours. Ouray reported 3.5 inches of snow for the day (not including what fell overnight). There was small quarter sized hail reported outside of Grand Junction with a storm that passed through in the late afternoon. Radar and CoCoRaHS<\/span> in the area indicate between 0.1 and 0.2 inches of rain fell over this area.<\/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.
