Moisture Sticks Around to Start the Week

Several rounds of showers and thunderstorms provided the Grand Valley with some much needed moisture today. Most of the shower activity should dissipate by midnight tonight, although a couple of rain and snow showers could linger in the High Country. Meanwhile, skies should remain mostly cloudy. Tomorrow's highs will remain in the 60s for the lower valleys, and the 50s for some in the higher terrain. Another round of scattered showers and storms will pop up tomorrow afternoon. The threat looks to stay mostly in the High Country, but a shower or two is not out of the question for the valleys.

The unsettled weather sticks around on Monday with another chance for rain thorughout the entire Western Slope. The cloud cover will keep temperatures a good 10 degrees below seasonal averages. Finally on Tuesday, the upper level trough moves eastward which will clear things up here in the Western Slope. Tuesday's highs will be right around normal, but by Wednesday highs will be back in the 80s and will remain there for the remainder of the week.
