Following another round of state-wide precipitation, remaining areas of moderate drought in Colorado dissipated and abnormally dry areas receded in most areas.

Kiowa County has returned to normal conditions after rain and snow a week ago, as have most neighboring counties throughout southeast Colorado.

An area of moderate drought across most of Baca County and smaller portions of Bent, Prowers and Las Animas Counties has turned to abnormally dry conditions. Portions of southwest Colorado also remain abnormally dry.

Spring has sprung in Kiowa County, with warmer temperatures and chances of thunderstorms making their annual appearance.

Saturday starts off windy, with afternoon south winds 25-30 miles per hour and gusts to 40 mph. Temperatures will be in the low 80s, falling to the low 40s overnight. There is a slight chance of isolated showers earlier in the day.

Sunday’s high will be around 75, with a 20 percent chance of thunderstorms that will continue into the evening. The overnight low will be near 40.

One of our most popular features from the past 15 years - a full-page color photo on the front of the Kiowa County Press showing various impressions of life in Kiowa County. While a limited number of copies continue to be printed and distributed each week at Kiowa Healthmart, COOP C-Store in Eads, Haswell Propane, and Thunderbird Petroleum, we wanted to bring this feature to our online readers as well.
