— Flooding is NOT<\/strong> expected today<\/em>
— Red Flag<\/span> Warnings remain in effect for parts of the state<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

After a series of disturbances that raced across Colorado over the past few days fueling mainly a wind threat, things will quiet down in the upper atmosphere today. As shown in the visible satellite image, below, a nonchalant zonal<\/span> flow is seen from the California coast all the way into Colorado. To the north, relatively higher moisture will support some enhanced cloudiness, along with breezy conditions mainly over northern Colorado. Red Flag<\/span> Warnings are still in effect mainly over northeast Colorado today. To the south, bone dry conditions will persist though the subsidence of gusty winds will relax the fire threat a bit. This morning’s PW<\/span> at Denver measured at an incredibly dry 0.17 inches. This would not be too unusual in January, but in mid-May, this sits in the lowest few percentiles, compared to the historical record. Thus, with no precipitation expected anywhere in the state, flooding is also NOT expected today.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead to the weekend, an upper-level ridge is expected to develop and push temperatures above seasonal normal statewide. Snowmelt will increase notably over the central and northern high terrains, but precipitation is not expected until perhaps Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n
