If you woke up early Friday you felt some cool air, the coolest in more than 100 days.

DIA was sitting in the upper 40s as of 7 am Friday where the last time a temperature in the 40s was recorded was June 1st.

I'll zoom in and show you Colorado's precipitation the next several days.

That's in either rain or snow form. Just snow shows a hint of snowfall in our mountains.

The Pikes Peak web cameras will be fun to watch later Monday to see snow flying up there.

We discussed in yesterday's post a bit more on the metro area's extended snow chances, which are low:

Warm and mostly dry through the weekend, turning cooler with a chance of mountain snow by next week

Cooler weather over the last couple of days, as well as spotty strong storms across Eastern Colorado have been a welcome relief to the recent record heat we’ve seen across the state. Precipitation totals since Sunday (below) show that while not everyone saw rain (we only picked up a few stray drops!…
