Priscilla’s Remnants Deliver Spotty Saturday Showers as Western Colorado Faces Flood Watches
A Sunday cold front triggers a sharp evening cooldown.
Overview
- Moisture from the remnants of Tropical Storm Priscilla fuels isolated, low-impact showers today, most likely between early afternoon and sunset along and near the I-25 corridor.
- Flood watches remain in effect across the western third of Colorado through 6:00 a.m. Sunday, with the heaviest precipitation focused west of the Continental Divide.
- The southwestern mountains carry the greatest flash-flood risk with off-and-on rain through the day and mostly cloudy, occasionally foggy, conditions at higher elevations.
- Plains locations stay warm and windy with highs in the 80s and south winds topping 25–35 mph with gusts near 50 mph, while cloud cover increases late.
- Temperatures drop quickly Sunday evening behind the front, turning cooler than average Monday with a few mountain showers possible before a brief warmup returns Tuesday.
