Summary:
Southwest flow across the state has maintained the hot and dry conditions we’ve been experiencing over the last few days. There was no rainfall observed across all of Colorado yesterday, aside from lone “Trace” observations in Burlington in the Northeast Plains and Palisade in the Grand Valley.
Instead, late summer heat was the main story with temperatures in the 90s along the Front Range Mountains, Urban Corridor and Grand Valley, and well into the 100s for the Northeast and Southeast Plains. The Northern, Central, and San Juan mountains saw temperatures reach into the 80s as well. Colorado Springs tied their record high of 94 yesterday afternoon.
Colorado Springs hit 94 degrees at 245 PM this afternoon tying the record high for this date of 94 degrees set in 1964. #cowx

An overnight frontal passage cooled things off for some along the Urban Corridor and Northeast Plains, but also ushered in smoke from wildfires burning throughout the west. No flooding was reported on Tuesday. For rainfall estimates in your area, including antecedent conditions, check out the State Precipitation Map below.
