In Brief:
We warm back to the lower 80s with afternoon showers possible most days.
Forecast Discussion:
Staring with precipitation totals first ... Longmont picked up about 0.8-0.9 inch of liquid while Boulder received about the same (Figure 1). Broomfield did better with 1 to 1.3 inches of liquid (Figure 2). Most of the Front Range saw over 0.4 inch of rain (higher elevations received a few slushy inches in the mountains).
Thursday will warm a bit but remain mostly dry (Figure 3 and 4).
The Longer Range Forecast:
Precipitation chances pick up again Friday as temperatures rise and afternoon thunderstorms wander off the mountains. There is a marginal risk of severe weather Friday - a few of those storms may reach severe limits (Figure 5).
A couple of weak fronts arrive Sunday and Monday lowering temperatures and raising precipitation chances (Figure 3). Over the next 5 days, what little precipitation falls will remain largely east of the Divide.
