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

Following behind yesterday’s disturbance\/trough<\/span> is a high pressure ridge that will build across the southwestern US today. The water vapor imagery below depicts the situation well, and I have annotated the image for clarity. With the building ridge will come decreasing moisture, though there will be enough remaining moisture for isolated<\/span> thunderstorms mainly over the Continental Divide<\/span>, San Juan Mountains, Southeast Mountains, and Front Range mountains\/foothills. With northerly flow aloft expected, the adjacent Urban Corridor and western portions of the Southeast Plains should stay dry as storm motions will keep them from moving overhead.<\/p>\n

Further east over the Northeast Plains, Southeast Plains, Palmer Ridge, and Raton Ridge, a mostly sunny and dry day is expected, with temperatures climbing slightly above average for this date. An isolated<\/span> thunderstorm may develop over the Cheyenne Ridge and Raton Ridge during the late afternoon\/evening hours, but probability of occurrence is ~10%<\/p>\n
