Yesterday isolated storms developed in the afternoon, the Durango area was the big winner with amounts from 0.60 inches to over an inch. The coverage was not widespread and just a couple of miles out of town most areas got little to no precipitation.

As far as I know, storms have so far eluded most of the forecast area so far, we’ll see. As I mentioned this morning, the models were not overly optimistic about widespread showers developing. That is supposed to change tomorrow and Friday with widespread showers moving into the forecast area.

For the weekend, it still looks like scattered to widespread afternoon showers will occur. The Euro, Canadian and German models are showing up to 2 inches of rain by Monday morning across most of the forecast area. The GFS shows 1 to 2 inches and the blended models are right in the middle.

I will do an overnight model update Thursday morning early. Thanks for following and supporting the site!
