Summary:
Mostly clear skies, seasonable temperatures and higher elevation fall color made for a textbook fall day across Colorado. High temperatures were in the mid-80s in the lowest elevations to upper-50s over the higher terrain. Some residual low-level moisture, possibly from the previous two days of rains, generated a few short-lived showers over the Southeast Plains. About a tenth of an inch of rain was reported in Pueblo County with several other reports of a trace. Otherwise, everyone else was fortunate enough to receive a full day’s sunshine.
Looking around the state for fall foliage reports suggests peak color is now occurring at the highest elevations, between 9,000 and tree line. We can expect this to progress downward into the lower elevations over the next month or so.
