Showers & Storms Briefly Ease

Monsoon moisture will pour into Colorado through next week. This means that the overall chance for rain will stick around throughout much of the next week and beyond. The moisture will be present, but conditions otherwise will be less favorable for rain on some days and more favorable on other days. Drier days will be warmer - up to mid-90s for highs. Cloudy, more rainy days will be cooler. Those warmer days will be more common around the middle of next week, but showers and thunderstorms will increase again by late in the week.
