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

The water vapor imagery below shows the upper-level Low has moved into the eastern portion of the state. There are still some showers occurring this morning just south of I-70 along the Kansas border. These should continue to shift eastward with the disturbance throughout the morning hours. Wrap around moisture is also causing some cloud cover and perhaps some spotty precipitation at the highest elevations over the northern\/central mountains this morning. This will likely continue through midday.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Today we’re expecting a statewide increase in sunshine as the moisture and lift from the trough<\/span> is replaced by drying and subsidence under a ridging pattern. High temperatures should reach the mid-60Fs to low 70Fs across the lower elevations with mid-50Fs to low 60Fs for the mountain valleys. Lack of moisture and lift mean that outside of the lighter precipitation occurring this morning, it should remain dry across the state. Therefore, flooding is not expected. More cloud cover is expected to move in overnight as some mid-level lift works into the flow from a shortwave<\/span> to our north.<\/p>\n

Dry and windy conditions are anticipated again today further south, and the San Luis Valley is under a Red Flag<\/span> Warning<\/span>. Tune into NWS<\/span> Pueblo for the most up to date information.<\/p>\n
