<br />This is ono of tr,e ec.rlieet ~tol'ms for
<br />
<br />Vihieh accurate meteorelogicc.l records arc evaileblo. ;, low pross'-lre area
<br />
<br />(29,2' inches) developed over southeastern Colorado nnd northeastern ilO'.'[ IIcc:ico,
<br />
<br />and r, high (30.5 inchos) just north of tho G,.e"t Lakos. This brought lOT ccir
<br />
<br />into Colorado from the Gulf Coast. There Viere two conters ef rainfall cen-
<br />
<br />centrationl one at Denvor, Colorado, nnd tho other nser Pikes Pock, Colorado.
<br />
<br />Hcavy rains fell all along tho Front Rnnge. Donver had tLc e;roC'.test 2,,,-hour
<br />
<br />p::ecipitc.tion of record (6.50 inchos) on !lIW 21 and 22. Durine; t:,o same period

<br />
<br />Surfo.co synoptic data wera rathor
<br />
<br />limited i'l 189'~, I:owover, thoro is bood evidence that a woak cyclono O'Tcr
<br />
<br />New Mexico and a moderately high prossure aroa over tho Dakotas c.ncl Einnosota
<br />
<br />brought mT air from tho Gulf of Mexico into Colorado. Surfaco winds at Denvor
<br />
<br />and Pueblo wore intcnni ttontl~r from tho Of\.st and northeast and for c. s:!ort
<br />
<br />period from tho northwost.
<br />
<br />Obscrvo.tions Cot Pikas Peck shorrod .winds from
<br />
<br />tho southeast. Tho winds velocities o.t Donv'Jr o.voragod about 10 miles per
<br />
<br />hour during tho storm. Tho~;rend of thc isobaric pattern in the storm dc-
<br />
<br />finitely establishes there was flOVi aceinet tho Front Ro.nge, thereby indi-
<br />
<br />cating that rainfall w~s caused by tLo moist air being deflected up the
<br />
<br />mountain slopes. Representativo dew points in the storm were 57 F at oodce
