STP 06-20-2015: Sunshine and Heat Dominated

Issue Date: Saturday, June 20, 2015
Issue Time: 9:00 AM MDT

Summary:

Upper-level high pressure continued to build across Colorado yesterday, ushering dry and warm air into Colorado, leading to a mostly quiet day across the state. The mercury climbed well into the 90s for lower elevations, reaching 100 in the lower Arkansas River valley and lowest elevations of far western Colorado. A few high based showers/weak thunderstorms developed over the higher terrain, slowly drifted eastward, and produced nothing more than light rain and gusty winds.

No flash flooding was reported yesterday.
