A few showers and thunderstorms percolated over the higher terrain, with isolated-to-scattered storms moving across the plains during the afternoon and evening. A few showers are still ongoing over the mountains and over Weld County/Cheyenne Ridge. Rainfall totals were generally light, most reports are less than 0.1 inches, as moisture was fairly shallow.
