Chinook Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 NWS/WPC forecasts 1" of rain for eastern Colorado and New Mexico this week. We'll see how it turns out. Best of luck busting the long-term drought for a lot of areas of the country. As mentioned by somebody, the drought is down to D1 in Larimer County, but that's a limited area. Strange weather pattern with a cutoff low in the West. There seem to be no interesting severe weather outlooks anytime soon. The NWS/CPC latest ENSO bulletin said we are in a neutral phase, with El Nino onset expected soon. The SST anomalies in the Pacific are already positive. The current weather pattern has rain all week in the southern USA. It already has some of the looks of an El Nino. Including storm chasers sitting at home and doing nothing. They say it could be a large El Nino by the time we get to winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 This strange weather pattern has provided plenty of rain to Texas, with relatively little severe weather, and now rain showers are moving toward the Front Range cities from the SE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 I swear I have a force field around my house. I just had rain and thunderstorm activity within 3 miles to my north, south, east and west. And didn't get any measurable rain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokeybandit Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Some impressive hail and localized rain Denver and metro south and east. But a nice cell that was headed my direction dried up before it got to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 This happened earlier. You can't even see the city names near Denver because the screen is covered with local storm report hail icons and MPING hail icons. Probably the new storm north of US-36 is the storm that chasers are heading to now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted Wednesday at 10:34 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 10:34 PM Finally got a solid storm (and hail that was appreciably small) today. My yard was due after all the storms spinning up all around me the last week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayjawintastawm Posted 8 hours ago Author Share Posted 8 hours ago Front Range north of COS is in a Slight Risk for this afternoon, mostly for hail with 1" hail east of I-25. Time to drag the pots under the patio roof... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Now the SPC has put out an outlook that wouldn't have been possible before this year: 15% double-hatched hail outlook for eastern Colorado. I would expect a severe thunderstorm watch in Denver. I'm sure last week's storm was a bit of a shock for lots of people... quick 15% outlook, and everybody gets hail all in one day.

smokeybandit Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago It was puking hail for a long bit for me, clogging gutters. But most of it half inch or smaller. Largest one I found was a hair over an inch, but those didn't last long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
