Summary:<\/h3>\n

A cold front helped cool off high temperatures on Tuesday, so it was another day in May with below average temperatures. Further south, temperatures were a bit warmer until another blast of cold air moved in overnight. Yesterday, the upper level low moved across the state and brought widespread<\/span> showers and snow (higher elevations) to northern Colorado. Downsloping<\/span> winds to the south helped keep southeast Colorado rain free. Rainfall was more gradual in nature although some embedded convection<\/span> and higher dew points<\/span> to the east helped increase totals over the Northeast Plains. CoCoRaHS<\/span> over the northeast corner of the state and over the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest recorded around 1 inch for the 24-hour period. The only difference is the precipitation over the Northern Mountains fell as snow. The highest precipitation recorded at a SNOTEL site was 1.4 inches at Arapaho Ridge, which is located ~30 miles north of Kremmling. Over Ouray, 1.5 inches of snow fell. Half dollar sized hail was reported with a severe storm over Cheyenne County with radar indicating 0.5 inches of rain falling. Flooding was not reported on Tuesday.<\/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.
