Wet weather continues with scattered storms giving heavy rainfall for parts of the state again today. This continues a wet trend established in May for those east of the mountains.

In some cases, record precipitation fell in parts of the metro area this May, however, a record minimum amount fell over the Northwest surrounding Steamboat Springs.

That is a PRISM dataset that is still preliminary for the month. Records go back to 1895. It was DIA's wettest May on record, but that record is so short, I was curious about Denver, officially, and here's the scoop:
*May 2023 is Denver's 4th wettest on record since 1872 (5.53"). That is the climatology for Denver which has used multiple stations in its history. Stapleton recorded its 3rd wettest May on its record.

Spring had fewer extreme cases for the state, here's a look across the U.S.

We haven't ended this wet pattern but are trending toward some "normalcy" if you want to call it that, as we discussed in our monthly outlook with members from last week.

For the next three days we still have some stout rain chances for the city, albeit lower than this past weekend.

The storms the next few days will provide heavy rainfall, with low chances for hail or damaging wind. Still, severe weather may pop up in isolated cases so it's still a good idea to have someplace to cover for your car.

Temperatures are stuck in persistence until we dip this Sunday as a system blows through.

We will have more on that next system as showers will be likely Sunday. If you have to do something outside, as of now Saturday looks to be the better day.
