Some southern Colorado residents are waking up to a drenching rain outside their window this morning.  A mix of rain and snow has been moving from north to south as a spoke of energy in the upper atmosphere moves over the state. 

The heaviest rain has been falling just southwest of Pueblo near Rye and Colorado City.  Winter has returned to the higher elevations with Cuchara receiving nearly 8” of wet, heavy snow so far. 

The roads may be icy in the higher elevations but remaining wet on the plains.  Now, there’s a silver lining to the clouds.  The scattered showers will taper down through the day and we will see peeks of sunshine by later this afternoon.
