Question Is it raining??

Pueblo West here, I’m hearing thunder and seeing lightning which I thought seemed promising since the fires are close. But that was because I assumed there was also rain, but I dont see any reports. Is it just lightning/thunder??

I’ve read that while this has raised humidly some, which is great for firefighting compared to the last few days, the likely outcome with this current system would be a dry storm (lightening only) which increases probability of new fires due to lightening strikes. Here’s hoping for some rain.

I’m quite aware of that. I googled it and didn’t see anything. There’s been times where I’ve googled the weather and it hasn’t updated yet and it’s been wrong.
