Issue date: Wednesday, July 17, 2019
\nIssue time: 10AM MDT<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/h3>\n

Flow around the high pressure centered over New Mexico brought midlevel moisture to the high country yesterday, producing weak thunderstorms over the area. Storms off of the southern Front Range and Palmer Ridge picked up moderate levels of surface moisture from the plains as they traveled to the east off of the mountains. A severe thunderstorm<\/span> warning<\/span> was issued at 4PM yesterday over Elbert County, with reports to the NWS<\/span> of wind gusts up to 63 mph. A shortwave<\/span> passing over Wyoming provided additional lift for thunderstorms over the northern Front Range, with CoCoRaHS<\/span> stations reporting up to 0.37 inches of rain to the north of Fort Collins. The highest accumulation for the day was in El Paso County, where a thunderstorm produced 0.59 inches of rain to the southeast of Colorado Springs. Radar derived up to 1 inch of rain within the storm, but hot, dry air underneath the storm base likely caused some of the rain to evaporate before reaching the surface. Other notable totals were measured near Pagosa Springs in Archuleta County, with CoCoRaHS<\/span> measuring 0.33 and 0.28 inches over the area.<\/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.
