Issue Date: Monday, July 15th, 2019
\nIssue Time: 9:40AM MDT<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/h3>\n

The high pressure ridge remained intact on Sunday, which also controlled Saturday’s weather pattern as well. Flow turned more westerly, which allowed afternoon thunderstorm activity to spill into the adjacent plains and far eastern plains of Colorado. With high moisture still in place, some heavy rainfall was recorded with numerous<\/span> Flash Flood<\/span> Warnings and Areal Flood Advisories issued across the state.<\/p>\n

Over western Colorado, totals were greatest over the San Juan Mountains and eastern Gunnison County. Highest radar estimated rainfall totals over these areas ranged from 0.50 to 1 inch. The Saint Elmo’s SNOTEL site recorded 1.4 inches for the 24-hour period. A Flood Advisory was issued for this storm, but as of this morning, there was no flooding reported. To the east, numerous<\/span> CoCoRaHS<\/span> stations just west of Fort Collins recorded rainfall just over 1 inch with the highest total at 1.23 inches for the 24-hour period. Deeper moisture over the Northeast Plains and slow steering winds allowed storms that formed on a SW to NE oriented boundary to drop 2 inches of rain at the cores of the storms. The storm that radar indicated dropped just over 2.5 inches in north, central El Paso County received a Flash Flood<\/span> Warning<\/span> around 4PM MDT. Again, flooding had not been reported to NWS<\/span> as of this morning, but these were some impressive 1 to 2 hour totals associated with the PW<\/span> surge.<\/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.
