— No Flood Threat Today
Coloradoans awoke to a seasonably cool start this Friday morning. The far northeast corner of the state was under the grips of a low cloud deck. Meanwhile, but all other areas were under clear skies. Another nearly cloud free day will boost temperatures to near seasonable levels today. Precipitable water values, shown below, continue to be subdued after peaking during the thunderstorm activity on Wednesday. Thus, aside from some morning sprinkles in the Northeast Plains, neither precipitation nor flooding issues are expected today.
