As far as wildfires, it has been quiet so far thanks to the high winter snowpack and wet spring. The Doe Canyon Fire burned ~2,500 acres near Dove Creek, CO. According to InciWeb, this fire is now 100% contained. Snowpack continues to melt at the highest elevations keeping rivers running high (for this point in the season), but no flooding is being reported with the peak in streamflow behind us.<\/p>\n<p>To see estimated precipitation totals over the last 72-hours, scroll down the State Precipitation Map below.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"collapseomatic \" id=\"id6a1f11ee1f905\" tabindex=\"0\" title=\"Click Here For Map Overview\">Click Here For Map Overview<\/h4><div id=\"target-id6a1f11ee1f905\" class=\"collapseomatic_content \">\nThe map below shows radar-estimated, rainfall gage-adjusted Quantitative Precipitation Estimates (<span class=\"glossaryLink\"  aria-describedby=\"tt\"  data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;QPE&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Q&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;uantitative &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;P&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;recipitation &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;E&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;stimate; an estimate of the amount of precipitation that has fallen at a particular location or across a region based on several different data sources, such as radar or satellite; QPE is often calculated using remotely-sensed data sources&lt;\/div&gt;\"  data-gt-translate-attributes='[{\"attribute\":\"data-cmtooltip\", \"format\":\"html\"}]'>QPE<\/span>) across Colorado.
