— Flooding is NOT<\/strong> expected today<\/em>
— An Elevated Flood Threat is expected tomorrow<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Colorado awoke to mainly clear skies this morning, but as shown in the visible satellite image, below, monsoonal moisture has begun to creep into the Four Corners area overnight. However, it will take about another 24 hours before this actually translates into rainfall. Grand Junction’s morning Precipitable Water<\/span> (PW<\/span>) increased to 0.64 inches, but boundary layer<\/span> moisture remains very low. Meanwhile, Denver’s morning PW<\/span> is a meager 0.52 inches, with no rainfall expected east of the Continental Divide<\/span> until later Wednesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

For today, mid and high-level clouds will continue to stream into western CO as steering flow slowly turns from westerly to southwesterly\/southerly. No rainfall is expected statewide until the overnight hours when isolated<\/span> to scattered<\/span> light showers will enter the higher terrain of the western slope. Flooding is NOT expected today, but an elevated flood threat is expected beginning tomorrow.
