Friday was a stormier than I thought it would be over northern Colorado. There was more low-level moisture to feed the storms, likely as a result of the rain that fell the day before on Thursday.

The trend of "more moisture than the models think" will likely continue for northern Colorado on Saturday and Sunday. While the weather will be pretty nice both days, there will be afternoon showers for areas along and north of I-70.

Then the last round of showers will push through northern Colorado on Monday while the rest of the state is dry.

Tuesday and Wednesday will be dry everywhere, then a few showers will pop up on Thursday in southern Colorado, with more showers for the entire state Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Enjoy part one of the three-day weekend!
