Heavy Rainfall Potential Southwest Mtns Late Week

Scattered thunderstorms will develop across the mountains and interior valleys Thursday afternoon, as sub-tropical moisture creeps northward into Colorado. The greatest chance for storms will be over the eastern San Juan Mountains, where some brief moderate/heavy rain will be possible with any stronger activity. High temps will warm a few degrees from Wednesday's numbers, with readings in the 80s over the plains. #cowx

Subtropical moisture from a dissipating Eastern Pacific hurricane will move into the Desert Southwest from late this week into the weekend, bringing an enhanced threat of heavy rainfall and flash flooding to the mountains along the Continental Divide, mainly to the south of Monarch Pass. The heaviest rain will be over the west facing slopes of the Eastern San Juan Mountains on Friday and Saturday, where rainfall amounts of around 2 inches are forecast. #cowx
