.DISCUSSION...

moves across the Four Corners region and into eastern Colorado.
Individual showers and thunderstorms will be brief-lived, moving
quickly to the east at 20 to 30 mph with total rainfall ranging
between a few hundredths of an inch to 0.30" by evening. Prevailing

southwest, turning more from the west by the afternoon. Any passing
shower or thunderstorm will be capable of producing cloud-to-ground

light showers will be possible Sunday, mainly in the afternoon. Drier
and warmer conditions are expected through the remainder of the first
