Click on the thumbnail graphic for the 24 hour precipitation map from the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District. 1.61 inches at the rain gauge nearest Coyote Gulch Manor.
A cold front moved off the Great Divide yesterday and areas of Metro Denver got pounded. Clear Creek was roiling at 5:00 PM — the bike trail underpass at federal was under water. Trees along the creek were flooded as the waters climbed. Hail took down Mrs. Gulch’s heirloom pinto beans in the garden.
