Rain showers arrived for some in Colorado late Monday evening, but the heavy precipitation is now settling in across the state and will continue all afternoon.

Looking at the rain from a glass half full lens, the Four Corners has received beneficial rain and snow over the last several days. Rain and Snow totals have already started piling in for Colorado. In the past 24 hours the highest totals for rain have been over 2.50 inches for Rye and Denver has seen over an inch of rainfall.

A powerful spring storm will bring soaking rains to the lower elevations and heavy snow to the mountains through Wednesday.
