—NO FLOOD THREAT TODAY<\/em><\/p>\n

A strong cool front has made its way down the eastern plains of Colorado, even spilling over on the other side of the Continental Divide<\/span>. The cool front is being accompanied by a surface high pressure system and subsidence, as shown in the water vapor image below. The result will be a 15F drop in afternoon temperatures. As is typical, upslope flow has established itself in the wake of the frontal passage. However, precipitable water<\/span> values (PWs) are relatively low today, in the 0.4 to 0.8 inch range, and will continue to fall for most of the state. The only exception to this will be in the far south along the New Mexico border, where PWs will hover around 0.75 inches. With the aforementioned upslope flow, a few showers and a weak thunderstorm will be possible over southern Colorado this afternoon and evening. However, with the fast steering flow and limited instability, flooding concerns are not expected today.<\/p>\n
