5/11/2011 7:00 AM 0.54 M M M M Heavy rain starting about 9 pm and running throughout the night. At time of reading snow flakes falling with very light accumulation. Temperature at 36 deg F. Rain seems to have stopped with just snow falling.
5/12/2011 7:00 AM 1.14 M M M M Rain and more rain. Essentially non-stop rain for 24 hours with a mix of snow, sleet and ice pellets. At time of reading light snow falling without rain but only accumulating on "soft" surfaces like grass and mulch areas; melting on contact on concrete. Temperature is 35 deg F. Flurries started at 6:20 am. Check of rain gauge at 7 pm (12 hour mark) indicated total of 0.54 inches of rain; light occasional snow flurries in the morning which likewise essentially melted on contact. No winds. Ground is very wet. Sump pump running about every 10 to 15 minutes which is very unusual considering it usually only runs 2 or 3 times during a typical heavier than normal rain event. Nearby stream is slightly running over its banks and concrete trails have some standing water. Overall - slow, continuous rain under a low, dark cloud deck.
5/13/2011 7:00 AM 0.38 M M M M Rain throughout the morning and afternoon. At 6 pm reading was 0.34 inches. Another 0.04 inches fell on and off very lightly from 6 pm to 7 am. At time of reading temperature starting to climb above 38 deg F, cloud deck lifting and several small blue sky breaks in the clouds. Calm conditions all night. Ground is very saturated and sump pump is running frequently.
5/14/2011 7:00 AM 0.01 M M M M Threatening skies. Very cool 37 deg F. No wind. Looks like rain will start soon. Cloud deck very low.

5/19/2011 7:00 AM 0.29 M M M M Rain throughout the reporting period, heavy at times but no flooding. In many respects, the rate, type and temperature of the rainfall had a Pacific Northwest feel to it - slow, dark, clammy, and somewhat persistent with no sun breaks. Temperatures feel below normal for mid-May but trees and grass really look happy. At time of reading temperature is 44 deg F, no wind, and very light drizzle with rolling fog on the horizon and a low cloud deck.
5/20/2011 7:00 AM 0.79 M M M M Clouds breaking with about 25% blue sky yet darker clouds are sitting over the mountains to the west and the prairies to the east. Temperature is a very cool, unseasonable 33 deg F. Checked rain gauge several times prior to official reading: At 6 pm gauge = 0.54 inches total At 10 pm gauge = 0.67 inches total Ground is very saturated. No wind. Surprising that no hail fell during reporting period.

At 2:30 am downpour street had small flooding along curb/gutter onto the sidewalk. Intensity of rain sounded like hail but a check verified no hail falling.

7/7/2011 7:00 AM 1.12 M M M M Wow - what a set of storms. Rain started in late afternoon and became very heavy starting about 6 pm. Several strong rain sets arrived (about 6) between 6 pm and 9 pm with occassional winds, a rapid drop in temperature and lightning/thunder. No hail but at times it seemed like the rain was on the verge of turning into hail or sleet. At time of reading ground was super saturated and the air was humid with a slight midwest appearance. The rain that fell has a southern, warm feel as opposed to the more normal cooler feel as if it came from Texas - almost tropical in terms of feeling and intensity. Of note - a nearby storm catch basin next to our neighborhood elementary school was overflowing its banks - the first time this has been observed - when the neighborhood was toured on bike at 10:15 pm. In terms of the storm's rainfall, the rain gauge was checked at 7 pm and it had already recorded 0.68 inches. At 8 pm the rain gauge had 0.81 inches.
7/8/2011 7:00 AM 0.21 M M M M Rain mostly fell in evening after a muggy day which saw clouds rapidly building in early afternoon. Muggy and humid - very unusual for Colorado's Front Range.
7/9/2011 7:00 AM 0.38 M M M M Heavy rains in spurts after 8 pm. Rain started falling lightly around 7 pm. At thime of reading very muggy. Ground is soaked with standing water in various locations. Sky is nearly clear but clouds are building over the mountains.
7/10/2011 7:00 AM 0.19 M M M M Rain on and off starting about 3 pm. Never very heavy. Appeared to be scattered and isolated until about 10 pm. Another humid day (by Colorado standards) with clouds already building over the mountains. Looks like as repeat of the past three or four days but this morning the building is happening earlier and seemingly faster.
7/11/2011 7:00 AM 0.43 M M M M More late afternoon and early evening rain, on and off with very quick hit-and-run dumps. Ground is soaked with grass sections normally nearly dead from the hit swimming in water. Weeds are growing rapidly and grass requires twice-a-week mowing rather than typical every other week at this time of year.
7/12/2011 7:00 AM 0.24 M M M M More late afternoon/evening rain. Heavy at times. Very warm rain. At time of reading cloud building pattern in place. Ground is wet - seemingly beyond soaked. Sump pump is running frequently compared to typically once an hour or so during a rain or snow melt period. Puddles of water in the garden and low areas (spots with depressions) are filled with water. At 7 pm rain fall was 0.19 inches total.
7/13/2011 7:00 AM 0.14 M M M M Rain not as heavy as the past few days. Ground still very wet. Once again, evening rain.
7/14/2011 7:00 AM 0.81 M M M M Rain and more rain. Storms came in about 5 waves with the later storms bringing extreme lightning and thunder - some of the loudest thunder and brigthest lightning I have ever seen. First rain feel about 7:15 pm. By 8:15 pm two waves have struck. Then about 9:20 pm more waves arrived (in between waves there were times of light rain and clearing skies - at one point the full moon was clearly visible while the nearby foothills of the Rocky Mountains were hammered). After 9:20 pm it was crazy. Heavy street flooding and pounding rain. Rain was colder than the past few days. Yard is completely soaked like a water logged sponge.
