    Interesting! Thanks. Quite a few spots where there is 50-75% of normal (far SE Aurora) and 200+% of normal (Bennett) within 10 miles of one another. There is practically NO green on this map in the northern half of Colorado! Also, we got half an inch of rain this afternoon/evening.

    What's interesting the last few days is that despite the seemingly random radar patterns, the distribution of heavy rain seems non-random- the places that get a lot of rain one day tend to get a lot on subsequent days. Would be interesting to see a cumulative map. We got another 0.07" for a total of 0.40" for the 5-day period.

    APA (Centennial Airport) is at 0.30" for the month, which I think is pretty typical for the immediate I-25 corridor (say 10 miles either side) north of Castle Rock. We're at 0.36" at my house.

    Beautiful fire prevention!!

    Today could finally be better... or not... wow this monsoon thing and the AM stratus/PM nothingburger pattern is so weird. Let's see if we can double our monthly rainfall- would not be hard.

    actually I'm halfway in between I-225 and Centennial Airport, where the blue dot is in this radar image from a few weeks ago. In the little finger of D2 drought on the map just SE of Denver. We did pick up another 0.11" early this morning, so that's good.

    Quite the deluge here, with a 3-day total of 0.04" (0.08" for the month).

    Airmass has cooled and stabilized north of the Palmer Divide. So convective possibility has disappeared. Swing and a miss for strike one. Need something to generate lift, or upslope, or something.

    Will be interesting to see what happens with this pattern change. Over the last 60 days we've had 0.34" of rain. Ground moisture in non-irrigated spots is nonexistent. 40+ year old trees in the neighborhood are very stressed and some are dying.

    Great and simple analysis. I'm guessing the moisture trends are messier but summers certainly seem to have dried since we moved here in 2010.

    COCORAHS agrees with most of the Denver Metro receiving a trace or less over the last 3 days. We got a trace. Incredible how the forecasts have busted low so much, and so consistently, the last several weeks within the 470 circle.

    We've been able to open windows and turn a big fan on most nights, but last night the temp went down to 68 at 11 PM but rose after that, 73 at 6 AM. Stuffy. One of many reasons I don't live in AZ.

    Glad I was on the East Coast. We finished July with 0.30" rain total at my house.

    Interesting. There must be a subtle terrain feature right between I-225 and E-470 and south that creates a narrow zone of convergence. We got skunked again, 0.02" with radar similar to Tuesday. COCORAHS illustrates: (24 hrs ending 7 AM today)
  15. mayjawintastawm
    Yes, we finally got 0.17" which feels like a downpour. Monthly total 0.23".
  16. mayjawintastawm
    OK, so here's what I'm talking about: current radar, blue dot is my house.
  17. mayjawintastawm
    May 20-June 25 were remarkably wet, so on average we are unremarkable in the SE half of the Metro- it's more that "dry begets dry" all over again once it gets started.
  18. mayjawintastawm
    Yeah between yesterday and today we wound up with 0.05". I feel like I'm at a Rockies game. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory EVERY SINGLE @%#$^&* TIME.
  19. mayjawintastawm
    Super dry at our house this month, with only 0.02" rain- all the storms have gone north and south. Hoping for monsoon moisture to finally hit us a bit over the next week!
  20. mayjawintastawm
    0.72" rain yesterday, we had tiny hail but the plants did OK. Really feels monsoony out there, DPs in the mid to upper 50s. Nice!
  21. mayjawintastawm
    I'll take it over the sauna that we currently have. 98/42 at 5 PM MT IMBY. 98/20 at Buckley AFB nearby...6% RH will dry you out in a hurry.
  22. mayjawintastawm
    We seem to have threaded the needle with all 3 rounds so far, with only 0.03" at the house, but we'll see what the rest of the afternoon brings. Car is inside and tomatoes are under the porch, so that pretty much guarantees quiet weather.
  23. mayjawintastawm
    Looks like south and northwest were the winners this time. We had 0.60". From COCORAHS
  24. mayjawintastawm
    We really caught up yesterday with 2.64" of rain in 24 hours. Closing in on 4 inches for the month, who knew? Then again, May is often the surprise flood month- 2 years ago we had close to 6 inches in a day and a half, that washed out the road over Cherry Creek in the state park for close to a year. Same road had a foot of flowing water over it in the same place this morning.
  25. mayjawintastawm
    Got 0.8" of rain in the last 20 minutes along with a good bit of small hail. Rain rate peaked at 3.35 inches/hour. Localized flooding, of course.
