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

After a nearly 4-day period of cool and unsettled weather (mostly east of the Continental Divide<\/span>), beautiful spring sunshine returns for nearly everyone today. The departing large-scale trough<\/span> of low pressure, and its last couple of embedded shortwaves, is being replaced by a weak, transient upper-level ridge as depicted in the visible satellite image below. This will increase subsidence and limit clouds today. The increased sunshine will cause a jump in afternoon high temperatures to levels just below seasonal normal. A couple of showers this morning will dissipate quickly over the Palmer Ridge. This afternoon, weak instability will support a few showers and weak thunderstorms mainly in the Northeast Plains. Gusty winds will be possible with the strongest cells. However, flooding is not expected today.<\/p>\n
