Summary:<\/h3>\n

Unseasonable warmth continued across the state on Monday as the upper-level ridge continued to build. This ridge suppressed precipitation for the state again, with most locations experiencing plenty of sun and heat. The exception was the highest elevations of the Central Mountains and especially the San Juans, where isolated<\/span> convection<\/span> developed during the afternoon. Rainfall amounts were very light and had a small spatial footprint, with general amounts of 0.25” or less; the highest rain gauge observation was 0.34” near Twin Lakes Reservoir.<\/p>\n

Several high temperature records were tied yesterday over south-central Colorado. Remember to take heat safety precautions as the warmth will continue today.<\/p>\n
