The end of the work week began with a clear morning across much of the state, with west-northwesterly flow ushering in dry air. By afternoon, scattered<\/span> thunderstorms began to fire up along the high elevations in Southern Colorado, thanks to additional moisture creeping up from the south. Cells were mostly confined to the Southwest Slope, San Juan Mountains, Southeast Mountains, and Raton Ridge. A small cell over Durango produced between 0.27-0.33 inches in just over a 3-hour period. <\/p>\n In the evening, isolated<\/span> cells also formed along the Urban Corridor before moving eastward onto the Palmer Ridge and Northeast Plains. There was little moisture available for rain with these storms, but impressive lightning was seen across the Urban Corridor into the night – like this video shared on twitter from lightning in Denver. <\/p>\n Whoa, just got a notification from my @WyzeCam<\/a> that it detected motion, and… it got a couple of awesome lightning videos! #COwx<\/a> #Denver<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/QOXA0JcQ39<\/a><\/p>\n — Mile High Brendan (@MileHighBrendan) August 28, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n \n
