Friday evening, the National Weather Service said the flood threat diminished along the I-25 corridor, but light to moderate rain is still possible.

"Though the metro flood threat has decreased, that can`t be said for areas west of the divide and across the eastern plains," said the NWS in its afternoon briefing. "We`ve already seen one slow moving/training storm over southeastern Morgan county, where radar estimated precipitation was roughly 4 to 5.5 inches and a few road washouts were noted."
