The main culprits behind yesterday’s widespread<\/span> active weather were an upper-level disturbance and jet streak<\/span>, combined with a surface cool front. To the east of the mountains and north of Highway 50, abundant moisture fueled the strongest storms of the day, with scattered<\/span> strong-to-severe storms rumbling across the area. The following severe reports were submitted to the National Weather Service, including a thunderstorm wind damage report of parts of a house in Arapahoe being stripped to the concrete:<\/p>\n 95 mph Thunderstorm Wind Gust<\/strong>: 8 miles S of Cheyenne Wells, 9 miles S of Cheyenne Wells Rainfall and high elevation snow are ongoing across portions of the Front Range, Urban Corridor, Northeast Plains, Central Mountains, and Northern Mountains this morning, setting the stage for what will be a cool and wet day. No flash flooding<\/span> was reported yesterday. For a look at precipitation estimates in your area, please see the State Precipitation Map below.<\/p>\n The 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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
