09/14/16 8:15am: Good to see the expected rain and thunderstorms across the mountains this morning, with some heavy rain in spots over the last 24hrs (especially in parts of the San Juans). Also a few weak rain showers on the front-range, with cloudy conditions.

Heavy rain ongoing over parts of the San Juans, in fact there were some Flood Warnings earlier southwest of Telluride. And MRMS observations show 1.00" to 1.50" of rain fell just south of Silverton.

Also great to see 0.50" to 1.00" of rain between Crested Butte to Aspen (Elks) and 0.15" to 0.30" for parts of the north-central mountains near Summit and Grand counties, etc.

Here are some notable rain reports from CoCoRaHS this morning:

Crawford 3.6 SW: 0.92"

Paonia 1.6 SW: 0.87"

Silverton 0.3 WSW: 0.62"

Carbondale 10.0 S: 0.53"

Montrose 1.5 ESE: 0.50"

Pagosa Springs 5.3 SW: 0.44"

Ridgway 4.1 W: 0.44"

Estes Park 1.8 S: 0.36"

Gypsum 3.2 SE: 0.26"

Leadville 0.2 NW: 0.24"

Vail 2.6 E: 0.12"

Rain showers will continue over much of the mountains today, with the focus being west of Vail Pass and south of I-70: west / southwest CO (Elks to San Juans) will continue to be favored (but all of the north-central mountains will have rain). On/off rounds of rain through tomorrow morning.

Some snow above 12,500ft tonight (1-3" for the higher peaks).

And for Den/Bou and the front-range a better chance for some isolated to scattered rain showers this afternoon 2pm-9pm, but looks like the best coverage will be from the Palmer Divide south to Springs / Pueblo areas (southeast CO will be favored this evening).

Thats all for now. How are conditions in your neck of the woods this morning.
