Issue Date: Wednesday, June 19th, 2019
\nIssue Time: 10:13AM MDT<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/h3>\n

Another wet day throughout the state yesterday as another shortwave<\/span> propagated over the state from Utah. Rain began over the Northwest Slope and Grand Valley around 7am yesterday as the disturbance first entered the state, providing additional lift and vorticity to the upper elevations. Heavy rain reports were provided to the NWS<\/span> in southern Routt County near Toponas and in Garfield County near Glenwood Springs measuring 0.59 and 0.57 inches respectively. Small hail of 0.25 inches and heavy rainfall of 0.54 inches was reported north of Cedaredge in Delta County. Other than these isolated<\/span> cases, precipitation was light in nature, with showers until 7am today in the northwest quadrant of the state. Over the San Juan Mountains precipitation began midday. The high pressure system to the south perturbed moisture in the lower elevations and kept precipitation to the high country. Heavy rain was reported to NWS<\/span> in San Miguel County near Telluride and La Plata County near Rockwood measuring 0.57 and 0.54 inches respectively. Due to lack of moisture and insufficient forcing as the low pressure system moved over the Eastern Plains, precipitation ended by 9PM.<\/p>\n

Convection<\/span> began on the Continental Divide<\/span> around 10:30 as the shortwave<\/span> began to influence the area. Ample moisture from the Eastern Plains, combined with upslope flow allowing heavy rainfall over the Front Range, with CoCoRaHS<\/span> reporting 1.35 inches in Larimer County. Convection<\/span> then moved off of the mountains to the ESE. Precipitation was lighter in the Northeast Plains compared to its southern counterpart due to cool temperatures and morning cloud cover, which lead to weakened convective instability. Convection<\/span> began around 11:30 on the Palmer Ridge providing light rain to the Metro area. Additional systems developed over the Wet Mountains and progresses to the ESE, spawning reports of hail over Otero and Crowly counties. CoCoRahs<\/span> stations in Baca County reported 1.05 inches of rain. Rain ended around 10PM last night over the Southeast Plains.<\/p>\n

Flood warnings remain in effect for Mineral and Rio Grande Counties, Conejos County along the San Antonio and Conejos Rivers, and the Saguache Creek in Saguache County. No new flooding was reported yesterday.<\/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.
