CSU-CHILL Casebook: 27 June, 2004
Thunderstorms developed along and over the foothills of the Rocky Mountains during the afternoon of 27 June 2004 in the southwest azimuth of the CSU-CHILL radar. Locally heavy rains caused flash flooding in several areas located generally to the west of the city of Denver. Flood-producing rain was detected in the near Golden, Colorado (azimuth 214 degrees / range 87 km) around 2200 UTC. (see the VCHILL example below.) The appreciable accumulation along the beam paths through the Golden storm indicate that rain rates of approximately 65 mm / hr (2.6 in / hr) were occurring.
