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

To the east of Colorado, the Low pressure system that helped produce our last precipitation event can be viewed in the visible satellite imagery below. This morning, it looks like there is still some lingering cloud cover over the mountains and valley fog as well as plenty of new snowpack (bright white). A dry NNW flow aloft will move over the state today as the ridge begins to migrate eastward (yellow arrow). PW<\/span> at Denver has dropped about a tenth of an inch since yesterday, nearly matching Grand Junction in this morning’s sounding at 0.38 inches. In combination with subsidence under the building ridge, rainfall is not anticipated today. Therefore, there is NO flood threat issued.<\/p>\n

Increased flow is forecast along the Green River today due to releases at Flaming Gorge Reservoir (northwest CO). Flow along the Yampa River is also expected to increase later this week below the confluence with the Green River (west-central Moffat County).<\/p>\n
