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

Little change in the overall weather pattern has occurred over the past 24 hours. As shown in the visible satellite image, below, WSW flow aloft continues overhead. However, the flow has increased in strength as a developing jet streak<\/span> forms over the Great Basin. Moisture has stayed essentially steady since yesterday morning, with Grand Junction PW<\/span> measuring 0.76 inches and Platteville coming in at 0.64 inches. However, some drier air is continuing to advect in from the south. Dynamics-wise, a weak, poorly organized mid-level disturbance was draped across Utah, stretching into southwest Colorado. As this disturbance moves across the northwest quadrant of the state, sufficient moisture will allow for widely scattered<\/span> thunderstorms mainly along the Wyoming border. Additionally, a few convergence boundaries should result in the flare up of isolated<\/span> to widely scattered<\/span> storms over the Northeast Plains. In both areas, however, with the strong steering flow exceeding 20mph and limited instability, only 30-45 minutes of moderate intensity rainfall is expected. Thus, there is NO flood threat today.<\/p>\n
