Otherwise dry and warmer. Lows in the 40s. Highs mainly in the 70s. Deep upslope winds from the northeast will continue to bring rain across much of the lower elevations with snow above 6500 feet. Rain and snow will become more showery this afternoon as the flow begins to shift to the northwest.
Travelers take caution in driving today.
There is a thunderstorm potential this afternoon and early evening across far northeast Colorado as more heating and higher surface dewpoints in the lower 50s develop. Even an isolated severe thunderstorm may develop if enough heating occurs. Very heavy rain and hail would be the main threats with the outside shot at weak tornadoes. As of midday Saturday 1 to 3 inches of precipitation had fallen along the Colorado Front Range and northeast plains. Area creeks and rivers will remain high but are expected to stay below flood stage.
