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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayjawintastawm Posted August 26 Author Share Posted August 26 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tacoman25 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Man, some of you all are just unlucky. Picked up another half inch so far today. DEN picked up 1.3"! That puts the airport at 2.8" on the month, well above normal. Looks like parts of Aurora have seen 2-2.5" today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

smokeybandit Posted Thursday at 03:47 AM Share Posted Thursday at 03:47 AM Meanwhile, .15" on the day and that's the best day of this pitiful week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayjawintastawm Posted Thursday at 01:58 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 01:58 PM 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This doesn't show amounts but definitely gives an idea of where the heaviest rainfall has been the past week. These maps tend to be biased dry because they often include stations that are missing precip data. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted Friday at 01:09 AM Share Posted Friday at 01:09 AM Another day, another heavy rain cell that passes a couple miles away, and I get shut out. It has gotten so bad that my sprinkler system keeps trying to skip a cycle because it thinks my lawn has gotten plenty of rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another day, another downpour here. .42" in just over an hour earlier this evening. Looks like the airport picked up .50". This has been the best summer rainy stretch here since June 2023 - which was insane (over 6" of rain in like 2 weeks). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted Saturday at 12:45 AM Share Posted Saturday at 12:45 AM 0.1" today. If that late night line materializes, I might still be able to eke out 0.5" for the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacoman25 Posted Saturday at 04:46 PM Share Posted Saturday at 04:46 PM Seventh day in a row with rain here yesterday. DEN picked up another .69", now up to 4.10" on the month. Wettest August for the airport since it moved to its current location in the mid 1990s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokeybandit Posted Sunday at 12:18 AM Share Posted Sunday at 12:18 AM And finally, on the last chance I'll get before the monsoon pattern changes, I got .25" in a storm. Thank goodness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insane difference in less than 30 miles. We got 1.07" at my house, roughly 3 miles north of the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacoman25 Posted yesterday at 05:45 PM Share Posted yesterday at 05:45 PM DEN finished the last 10 days of August with no high warmer than 84. The last time that happened was 1987. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gallopinggertie Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Hopefully tropical storm Lorena brings some rain to the desert southwest, most of that area is still in at least severe drought (D2). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
