Summary:
A couple lines of showers/thunderstorms developed across eastern Colorado during the afternoon and evening, at first over the Northeast Plains, and eventually back into the Palmer Ridge, Urban Corridor, and Southeast Plains as an outflow boundary pushed west-southwestward. A few storms continued into the nighttime and early morning hours, producing periods of moderate rainfall, gusty winds, and lightning. Most storms stayed over rural areas, with the best rain falling across Washington, Lincoln, Elbert, Kiowa, Bent, Otero, and Pueblo counties. Otherwise, temperatures yesterday were cooler than previous’ days, but gusty winds kept fire danger elevated across portions of the state.
