Summary:<\/h3>\n

After a couple days of widespread<\/span>, heavy rainfall Colorado got a chance to dry out as northwest flow aloft pushed a dry, warm air mass over the state. High temperatures increased statewide with a ~10°F increase over eastern Colorado. Despite a drastic drop off in PW<\/span>, enough residual moisture remained for some afternoon showers and weak thunderstorms over the western high terrains, Front Range and Northeast Plains. Maximum totals yesterday over the Northern and Central Mountains were just under 0.25 inches with most storms producing between 0.05 and 0.15 inches of rain. The strongest storm of the day was a weak thunderstorm that tracked into northern Weld County from Wyoming. With fast storm motion, only minimal rainfall occurred with radar estimating 0.25 inches of rain under its core. A CoCoRaHS<\/span> station in Logan County recorded 0.22 inches from the storms and Sterling Airport recorded a wind gust of 24 mph.<\/p>\n

The Areal Flood Warnings continued for the San Antonio and Conejos Rivers in southeastern Conejos County, the headwaters of the Rio Grande and in central Saguache County. Emergency management relayed minor flooding of lowland areas to the local NWS<\/span> offices. Several Areal Flood Advisories also continued for the Central and San Juan Mountains with 10 gages in Action stage. Take a look at the gages here: AHPS Gages<\/a><\/span><\/strong>.<\/span> Other than minor lowland flooding from high running rivers, flooding was not reported on Wednesday.<\/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.
