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

The upper-level trough<\/span> that kept scattered<\/span> showers in the forecast for a few days will finally move east of the state today, ushering in a drier and more stable<\/span> air mass across the state. Currently, the trough<\/span> is crossing the Central\/Northern Rockies and is responsible for the morning showers over the northeast Colorado. Those showers will diminish\/exit the state in the next hour or two, bringing an end to precipitation chances across the Northeast Plains for this forecast period.<\/p>\n

\"IPW_09182015\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The only regions that hold any chance for isolated<\/span> showers today will be across the peaks of the Central Mountains, Front Range, San Juan Mountains, and Southeast Mountains due to orographic effects working on residual moisture. Any showers will be very weak, producing less than 0.05 inches\/hour rainfall rates. For the lower elevations, subsidence and cooler temperatures will be enough to suppress any activity. A dry day with breezy conditions is expected.<\/p>\n
