Our state has benefited greatly from the recent atmospheric river event with snowpack thankfully getting back close to normal for now. However, things remain dreadfully dry east of the Continental Divide. The week ahead will offer generally cooler than normal temperatures across the Denver area with continued Mountain snowfall really piling up.
