DENVER (CBS4)
- Mother Nature had an important message for Colorado on Sunday night, saying "this is still Broncos Country" despite a difficult loss in California.

The message was sent through a breath-taking sunset caused by strong jet stream winds roaring high above the Rocky Mountains.

The chaotic upper-level winds helped produce bands of thick clouds with a lot of texture. As the sun set rays of light illuminated the bottom of the clouds with vibrant colors that went from orange and blue to reds, pinks and purples as the sun got lower in the sky.
