Issue Date: 8/19/2015
Issue Time: 7:52 AM

NO FLOOD THREAT IS FORECAST.

Today’s forecast discussion will be short and sweet. After the passage of the cool front yesterday, and the upper-level disturbance overnight/this morning, dry and stable air will take up residence across Colorado today. After the line of weak showers over the Southeast Plains dissipates/exits the state, there will not be any more precipitation today. High temperatures will be cooler than average. Tomorrow morning’s low temperatures will be cool, once again, with clear skies and light winds expected overnight.
