Summary<\/h3>\n

Warm temperatures returned across the state yesterday after well below average high temperatures on Sunday. Moisture and cloud cover increased throughout the morning and into the afternoon over southern Colorado, as a high-pressure system centered over southern New Mexico advected warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico into the region. Dewpoints in the low 40’s provided moisture for light precipitation over the Southeast Mountains, with measurements primarily between 0.1 and 0.25 inches. CoCoRaHS<\/span> in the area recorded between 0.15 and 0.3 inches. Isolated<\/span>, light showers were also radar reported over the southern San Juan Mountains, southern Front Range, and the Urban Corridor between Colorado Springs and Castle Rock. Totals remained low in these areas, with precipitation measurements between 0.01 and 0.1 inches.<\/p>\n

Gauges along the Rio Grande west of Del Norte and in Alamosa remain in Action stage, with waters expected to rise as a result of rain and snowmelt within the area. Minor flooding will be confined to stream banks and low laying areas.
