NO FLOOD THREAT IS FORECAST.
Strong high pressure ridging will build over the state today, resulting in what can be referred to as a “severe clear” day. Dry conditions will prevail as high temperatures push to near seasonal levels across Colorado. A few high-level clouds will return this afternoon/evening, but they won’t do anything other than provide something to look at in the sky.
