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

A strong incoming trough<\/span> can just be seen entering the Pacific Northwest coast this morning (see water vapor image, below). However, it will be another 24-48 hours until we begin to feel the impact. For today, the upper-level ridge to our southeast has weakened a bit allowing for a modest push of monsoonal moisture, along with a couple of disturbances to make it into the Four Corners region. PW<\/span> at Grand Junction has risen to 0.63 inches, though with a dry boundary layer<\/span>. PW<\/span> at the Platteville research site is also up slightly to 0.48 inches. Thus, we expect slightly higher storm coverage this afternoon as enough sunshine will develop 200-300 J\/kg of CAPE<\/span> instability. The highest coverage of storms will be over the central, southern and southwest higher terrain. However, a couple of showers may also make it onto the adjacent plains along the I-25 corridor mainly south of Colorado Springs. Only brief rainfall is expected today, along with brief gusty winds. Thus, flooding is NOT expected.<\/p>\n
