Is the bulk of that moisture supposed to hit the central and northern mtns in CO as well, or stay south?

Now it's over - great 10 day forecast for Breck, after yet another miserable day today. Unless the forecast is wrong again, can't be.

Odile, a Category 3 storm, made a landfall at Cabo this evening.

Arizona deserts already on alert for a tropical influx similar to Norbert from Tuesday the 16th onwards. Then, southwest Colorado?

For the weekend at least, it appears that the weather might be better the farther north you go. The mountains in far north Colorado are looking pretty good for the weekend, with only a slight chance of precipitation predicted (unless the forecast changes). Many of the mountains of Wyoming are supposed to be sunny for the weekend, with thus far no chance of precipitation predicted.
