Labor Day was hot across the state, and included the return of smoke and haze<\/span>, especially along the Urban Corridor where smoke pollutants and late summer ozone combined to drastically reduce air quality. In terms of precipitation, another day of short-lived, afternoon isolated<\/span> thunderstorms on the Raton Ridge and Southeast Plains at the New Mexico and Oklahoma borders – but again, most of the action (and moisture) stayed south. Precipitation totals were light, less than 0.25 inches. <\/p>\n While this year had a largely uneventful Labor Day and “unofficial” end of summer – this time last year Colorado was experiencing a rapid shift in conditions when record heat changed to record in cold in just a few days. Denver also had its earliest snow in over 20 years. The Boulder WFO<\/span> shared the following information on twitter, including notable records broken one year ago: <\/p>\n Remember a year ago when we went from record heat to snow and record cold in just a couple days? Not this year! We'll stay quite warm and dry through the week. — NWS<\/span> Boulder (@NWSBoulder) September 7, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n \n
