Tonight’s Forecast: Most thunderstorms and severe weather has hugged the mountains and front range today, with surface upslope winds from the east pushing moisture up against the mountains. Due to a weak westerly jet stream, storms have not progressed off the higher terrain in general. A few thunderstorms are still possible along I-25 through about sunset and will dissipate in the Plains. Tonight will be partly cloudy and cool.
