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

The water vapor image, below, shows that very dry air has overtaken a majority of the Four Corners region. This morning’s Precipitable Water<\/span> (PW<\/span>) at Denver and Grand Junction were at 0.38 and 0.42 inches, respectively, with a deep mixed layer residing above a very dry boundary layer<\/span>. Additionally, winds have increased in the mid-levels of the atmosphere and with strong heating today, some of this momentum will mix down to the surface. The takeaway is, for the majority of the state, we expect temperatures to run well above normal with breezy\/windy conditions and no precipitation. With drying soils, this recipe equates to an enhanced threat for wildfire generation, and a Red Flag<\/span> Warning<\/span> and Fire Weather Watch<\/span> have been posted for the higher terrain of central and northern Colorado.<\/p>\n

The lone region that could experience some meaningful precipitation is the far northeast corner of the state. As a strong trough<\/span> to the north guides a cool front into Colorado overnight, the synoptic-scale lift will overcome the modest moisture to produce a line of broken showers and storms. A few storms could even become severe (mainly strong wind threat). However, with the relatively swift storm motion, flooding is NOT expected today.
