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

Subsidence and building high pressure should bring another day of mild weather to the state. Marked in the water vapor imagery below (blue) is the cold front that started to move through during the early morning hours. Not much moisture return behind the front, and with PW<\/span> remaining under 0.50 inches and an increase in dry, northwesterly flow aloft, only cloud cover is forecast over the northern tier of the state. There should be plenty of sunshine elsewhere, so another beautiful day ahead. Surface winds are expected to turn easterly over the eastern portion of the state throughout the day, so slightly cooler temperatures on the magnitude of ~5 degF are forecast. High temperatures are forecast to be around the same as yesterday over western Colorado, so still above average. Without any rainfall anticipated, there is NO flood threat issued.<\/p>\n

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

The shortwave<\/span> from yesterday has already moved into southern Utah this morning. So, there will be a mix of northwesterly and more easterly flow aloft today. With PW<\/span> remaining around 0.40 inches, rainfall is not anticipated, so there is NO flood threat issued. A few high clouds may be possible over the San Juan Mountains late this afternoon\/evening with some upper level moisture. High temperatures should reach into the 80Fs for the valley locations and low 70Fs for the mountain towns.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
