— Flooding is NOT<\/strong> expected today<\/em><\/p>\n

A pleasant, albeit breezy, day is expected for most of Colorado as dry air aloft streams across the state (yellow shading in the water vapor image below). This dry air will keep skies mostly sunny, and high temperatures will be a few degrees warmer than yesterday. At the surface, a cool front that passed through northern Colorado overnight will continue its trek southward through the day, bringing gusty winds to southern Colorado through the afternoon. Relative humidities will keep fire danger down across southeast Colorado, but drier conditions exist across southwest Colorado where a Red Flag<\/span> Warning<\/span> has been issued for portions of the Southwest Slope and San Juan Mountains.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A few isolated<\/span> showers may develop this afternoon\/evening along the Front Range and Southeast Mountains, though they will produce more gusty winds than rain. A few sprinkles, perhaps a rumble of thunder or two, and that will be that. Farther out over the Northeast Plains, the trailing energy from a disturbance currently centered over the Dakotas (red “X” in water vapor image above) will try to spark an isolated<\/span>, high-based thundershower, but the probability of occurrence is low. If one develops, expect mainly gusty winds and lightning, but very little rainfall.<\/p>\n

Zone-Specific Forecasts<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Front Range, Southeast Mountains, Urban Corridor, Palmer Ridge, Northeast Plains, Southeast Plains, and Raton Ridge:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Plenty of sunshine expected today, with high temperatures a few degrees warmer than yesterday. Breezy conditions are expected, especially across the eastern plains. A few isolated<\/span> showers may develop along the higher terrain of the Front Range and Southeast Mountains this afternoon, but little, if any, rainfall is expected. A stray, isolated<\/span> high-based thunderstorm or two may develop over the Northeast Plains during the afternoon\/evening, producing mainly gusty winds and lightning. Rain rates from any activity are expected to be less than 0.2 inches\/hour.<\/p>\n

Timing: Noon – 10 PM<\/p>\n

Northwest Slope, Northern Mountains, Grand Valley, Central Mountains, Southwest Slope, San Juan Mountains, and San Luis Valley:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Mostly sunny skies will allow plenty of sunshine to filter across the area, with mild high temperatures expected. Breezy conditions, dry fuels, and low relative humidity has elevated fire danger over the Southwest Slope and San Juan Mountains, where a Red Flag<\/span> Warning<\/span> has been issued.
