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

Aside from some light, high cloud cover over the mountains this morning, clear skies to start the day. As the upper ridge builds over the state today, expect dry, calm conditions over Colorado with above-average temperatures nearly statewide. Given that the axis of the ridge will progress eastward throughout the day, as shown by the yellow arrow in the water vapor image below, subsidence and calm surface winds are also forecast. Observed PW<\/span> values were 0.31 and 0.37 inches in Grand Junction and Denver this morning, respectively, so not much change from yesterday. Lack of moisture and weak upslope flow translates to a nearly zero chance for precipitation today. Therefore, NO flood threat has been issued.<\/p>\n
