\nIssue Time: 8:25 AM<\/p>\n

NO FLOOD THREAT IS FORECAST.<\/em><\/p>\n

The air mass over Colorado has dried out considerably behind a cool front that passed through the state, with precipitable water<\/span> values diving below 0.7 inches at all four normal reporting stations. From the 6 AM Denver and Grand Junction soundings, precipitable water<\/span> values are in the 25th percentile for the date. Altogether, the moisture decline outlines the no flood threat forecast.<\/p>\n

There will be isolated<\/span>-to-scattered<\/span> showers and weak thunderstorms this afternoon and into the overnight hours, mainly along the Continental Divide<\/span> and east to the CO\/KS border. Precipitation is expected to be light, so no flooding concerns will arise from this activity. Rain rates and timing will be outlined in the zone-specific discussions below. West of the Continental Divide<\/span>, a dry and cool day is expected.<\/p>\n
