about the 10pm MDT hour before rain chances finally subside
tonight. An even more robust round of afternoon and evening storms
is forecast Wednesday, again favoring development near the fire
location before tracking southeast to east toward I-25. Locally
heavy rainfall will accompany the lightning and erratic gusty wind
threat. Daily rounds of afternoon and evening storms continues
each day through the weekend.
