NO FLOOD THREAT IS FORECAST.
A strong high pressure ridge aloft, combined with dry air over the state, will lead to another sunny and pleasant day across Colorado. The few high clouds over the southeastern plains (shown in visible image below) will move out/dissipate over the next few hours. Aside from a few shallow, puffy clouds over the higher terrain this afternoon/evening, nothing but blue skies are expected. The weather will provide the perfect end to the work week.
