Rain is spreading across eastern Colorado this morning, with a broad, soggy setup still on track to bring rain and high‑elevation snow through the day to the Front Range. However, a continued southward shift in the storm track means precipitation totals around Denver and Boulder will likely fall short of earlier expectations.
