A stubborn monsoonal push kept moisture at elevated levels, especially over western Colorado. The result was persistent showers and thunderstorms over the Continental Divide and points to the west. Rain rates were not overly impressive, with total 24-hour amounts up to about 0.8 inches across the San Juans, Central Mountains and Western Slope. Hourly rain rates up to about 0.5 inches were observed.
Meanwhile, downsloping flow kept the eastern plains very warm and mostly dry as temperatures approached the 100 degree mark over the lower Arkansas River valley.
