For the second time in just a week, high temperatures struggled to get out of the 70s across even the lower elevations of Colorado. This was courtesy of a strong fall-like cool front that passed through the state on Saturday afternoon. While a majority of the state stayed dry, some residual monsoon<\/span> moisture made its way northward out of New Mexico and affect the far southern tier of Colorado. Due to very limited instability, thundershowers that did form had a hard time producing much rainfall. A few lucky locations in the San Juans and Southeast Mountains did manage to receive up to about 0.6 inches of the 24-hour period ending this morning. However, maximum 1-hourly rain rates were probably more in the 0.3 to 0.4 inch range. Nonetheless, in Colorado, we are happy with every drop of rain we can get.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, for the fifth consecutive day in a row, we were treated to a vibrant red-orange sunset as haze<\/span> from the Pacific Northwest wildfires continued to stream into the mid and upper-atmosphere. Fortunately, a change in the pattern suggests that wildfire activity may slowly subside as rainfall chances are now in the forecast for parts of the affected areas.<\/p>\n Flooding was not reported yesterday.
