NO FLOOD THREAT IS FORECAST.
Whatever you like to do outside, today would be the perfect day to do it. Aside from an isolated thunderstorm or two possible across the Sangre de Cristo and San Juan Mountains, the rest of the state will remain dry under mostly sunny skies. High temperatures will be a good 6-12 degrees warmer than yesterday for areas east of the Continental Divide and similar to yesterday for areas west. Low temperatures tonight will be mild thanks to the warm air mass.

Zone-Specific Forecasts
Front Range, Urban Corridor, Northeast Plains, Raton Ridge, Palmer Ridge, Southeast Plains, Northern Mountains, Northwest Slope, Central Mountains, Southwest Slope, Grand Valley, and San Luis Valley:
Mostly sunny and warm today, followed by a mild night tonight. If you have any plans to be outside, follow through with them and enjoy the day. It is hard to ask for a better mid-September day.
Southeast Mountains and San Juan Mountains:
Mostly sunny and warm temperatures will be the main story today, but just enough residual moisture exists for an isolated thunderstorm or two to develop this afternoon over southern portions of the regions. No significant precipitation expected, but gusty winds and lightning will be the main threats.
