Rain will gradually subside today, with a relatively drier day on the way across the region Saturday and highs in the mid 60s for the Denver area. The weekend rain potential looks nothing like the last few days, but for some folks some more appreciable water is one the way. How much rain have you seen at your place? CoCoRaHS reports this morning for the same period from across the region are simply impressive with totals from 2 - 6" across the greater metro area, and nearly all of the southeast metro with more than 5" of liquid in the rain gauge from this event (and yes, it's still raining!). It's not just DIA reporting upwards of 4.0" of rain over the last 3 days. Through midnight last night Denver is now up to 6.43" on the year – 🥳! This event not only erases our year-to-date precipitation deficit we had coming into May, but flips it on its head and some. Of course, that record could be in jeopardy today too, though it doesn't look like we'll quite make it. The wettest 3 day stretch came in 1876 (6.70", also in May) and moves us right behind May 1969 (4.68"). So far today the station is reporting 0.47" of rain, which takes our three day total to more than 4.0" of rain! WHAT? Should these numbers hold, this would move the previous 3 days into 5th place for wettest 3 consecutive days on record for Denver. Rainfall totals from across the region over the last two days are impressive to say the least.ĭenver International Airport was reporting 3.57" of precipitation as of midnight last night between Wednesday and Thursday's rain. North and northeast of Colorado will see the heaviest precipitation Friday as the low continues its trek northeast. Latest guidance shows that the heaviest rain is behind us from this event, but pockets of moderate rainfall continue this morning nonetheless.
Sunrise this morning revealed just remarkable imagery of our system that continues to pump moisture into Colorado, with light to moderate rain across Northeast Colorado continuing gradually shifting northeast during the day today: Flood Watches across Northeast Colorado are set to expire at noon on Friday, but before they do there's more rain to come and the potential for more wet weather for parts of Colorado through the weekend flooding alerts may be extended, we shall see.
