Not much rainfall except for maybe some sprinkles over the southern mountains, but none of the major precipitation networks recorded any rainfall. The Cameron Peak fire had some explosive growth yesterday as it moved into a new area of dry fuels. There were gusts recorded between 15 and 25 mph yesterday at the RAWS station at Cameron Pass, and a <span class=\"glossaryLink\" aria-describedby=\"tt\" data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;pyrocumulus&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;a convective cumuliform cloud formed over a fire or volcano&lt;\/div&gt;\" data-gt-translate-attributes='[{\"attribute\":\"data-cmtooltip\", \"format\":\"html\"}]'>pyrocumulus<\/span> cloud could be seen from Denver. Ash was reported over the adjacent plain communities, which include Fort Collins and Greeley. Faster surface winds today and hot, dry conditions will likely not be good for fire growth.
