SPC storm reports says 4.50" near Hamilton!
I wonder how many injuries there are per year from 2.75" plus hail. I know there are essentially no fatalities from hail.
I checked the SREF and GEFS for you guys. The SREF has 1 foot for Fort Collins-Loveland airport. That's nuts. I don't how it gets that cold. It would be roughly equivalent to May 1, 2013 when it snowed 1 foot at Fort Collins. I'm hoping you guys get wet somehow. Not sure about the whole freezing the gardens and crops type stuff.
The ECMWF has mostly light rain for you guys but the GFS and Canadian have snow and 37 in the daytime this week. It's getting a bit late in the year for snow in the daytime.
Recent rainfall and snowfall for you guys in Colorado. NWS snowfall analysis says it snowed above 6000-7000ft. The Rocky Mountain national park views have some snow visible above 11000ft today. Frisco/Breckenridge had some snow in town.
The recent CPC says there is about a 20% chance of a super El Nino for the winter (Nov-Jan). It's at the end of their forecast graphics. So how's a super El Nino for getting rid of the drought? Pretty good chance to have large rainfall in the southern USA. Things have not gone well for the West and Southeast, two huge parts our country.
