Weekend weather forecast for Castle Rock area
Overall a nice weekend on tap for most of us in Colorado. Our upper level ridge is still holding over the state but enough low level moisture (most likely left from the wet spring we've had) combined with low level storms and the occasional front is still bringing us decent chances for afternoon thunderstorms. While these storms are quite scattered in nature, some areas are seeing the more than others. Those of us along the Palmer Divide seem to be getting rain nearly every afternoon from these pop up storms, most likely due to the terrain in the area.

Quick Note About Friday Severe Weather Possibilities
Friday June 23 SPC Severe Weather Outlook
SPC has a marginal risk for most of Colorado for severe weather on Friday. The outlined area includes the front range as well as mountain areas near the divide and slightly West. The threat is overall lower than Thursday but any severe storms will primarily contain hail and wind.
Worth keeping an eye out on Friday afternoon just in case, any severe storms that form will be spotty and most areas will just see general thunderstorms. I'll have an update on facebook if I see anything popping up.
Happy Friday!
