The storm that moved through the Front Range yesterday really didn’t yield much for Thornton with a mere 0.03″ of precipitation.  Areas farther south in the metro area saw quite a bit more; our sister station in Arvada had 0.16″ by contrast.  We did also see a little bit of cloud to cloud lightning picked up on our lightning detector which serves as a reminder that thunderstorms will be here soon. 

Look for temperatures today (Friday) to be near 60.  Saturday looks to be the warmest day with a high near 65 but it will be breezy and will cool quickly in the afternoon as a minor disturbance moves through the area.  Sunday will be much like today.  Further ahead, a front arriving on Monday could bring precipitation to the lower elevations here on the plains although the best chance for moisture right now looks to be in the mountains.
