Today marks the preliminary deadline for the data collection from the September floods. Scientists have precise estimates of rainfall totals from Fort Collins to Colorado Springs.
But State Climatologist Nolan Doesken says there are a few locations where data points are spotty.
鈥淲e鈥檝e found a couple of places where we know heavy rains fell, but we have little or no data,鈥� he said.
One area is north and west of Glen Haven. Another is the area west of Carter Lake to the east side of Estes Park.

The Colorado Climate Center has largely compiled rainfall totals using manual and automated gauges. It has a of its website devoted to flood data, and is collaborating with local researchers on a Google Earth map that plots all the data points.
Doesken says he expects the Climate Center to release a report on the Colorado floods in the coming months.
