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

If you love September weather in Colorado, chances are good that you will love today’s forecast. Drier, subsident air will work in from the west behind a shortwave<\/span> translating across the northern Rockies (black dashed line); this drier air will be responsible for the increase in sunshine and fewer showers\/thunderstorms. As is typical with Colorado, however, there will be an opportunity for isolated<\/span>-to-widely scattered<\/span> showers\/weak thunderstorms this afternoon and evening across the southern half of the state. Aside from that activity, though, today will overwhelmingly be marked by seasonable temperatures under partly-to-mostly sunny skies.<\/p>\n

There are not any flash flooding<\/span> concerns for today, as moisture is in fairly short supply. Pueblo has not received the effects of drying from the west just yet, but the IPW graph shows that the other three normal reporting stations (Grand Junction, Boulder, and Shriever AFB) have come under the drying influence. It is only a matter of time before Pueblo receives the same treatment. For more information regarding rain rates and timing, please check out the zone-specific discussions below.<\/p>\n
