DENVER (KDVR) — A cloudy, rainy Mother’s Day ended with a colorful sunset and rainbows across Colorado Sunday evening.
Friday, extreme geomagnetic conditions brought rare aurora borealis sightings to the Centennial State. And though clouds made it tricky to see the northern lights Saturday, the colorful skies didn’t stop there.
