A cold front slipped into eastern Colorado early Friday and brought a 20 degrees cool-down to Denver and most of northeast Colorado.
The cooler weather countered an increase in moisture flowing over the state - remnants of a tropical storm that swirled across Texas a few days ago.
TIMELINE
It had looked as though the moisturecould have brought heavy rain to the eastern slope foothills stretching from Jefferson and Boulder Counties to Larimer County and areas east into Morgan County.
The locally heavy rain did not become widespread and any flood threat will diminish on Saturday but daytime thunderstorms could still produce localized flash flooding in flood prone areas.
The good news: High temperatures will drop to an expected high of 75 degrees on Saturday before bouncing back to 85 degrees on Sunday and scattered storms remaining through the weekend.
