Summary:
Behind a seasonably strong cool front, Colorado was treated to a day of cooler temperatures and drier air. It was a very pleasant day overall, with high temperatures 8-14 degrees below the previous days’ highs, on average. Late in the afternoon, broad-scale lift returned with the presence of a jet streak, bringing scattered showers and weak thunderstorms to areas along and east of the Continental Divide. In fact, light showers are ongoing this morning across the Southeast Plains. I wouldn’t blame you if you craved pumpkin-flavored everything today, because this morning’s lows are reminiscent of Autumn.
Light showers were persistent, leading to the following rainfall totals (from CoCoRaHS observers):
Morgan County: 0.66 inches
Kit Carson County: 0.50 inches
Larimer County: 0.46 inches
Douglas County: 0.35 inches
Weld County: 0.33 inches
No flash flooding was reported yesterday.
