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

First of all, we would like to welcome everyone back to the Flood Threat Bulletin for the 2016 Season. It is truly our pleasure to serve you. With that said, let’s dive right in to the forecast…<\/p>\n

Large-scale troughing continues over much of the US, as you can see in the water vapor image below. The main upper-low circulation resides over eastern AZ\/western NM at this time (red “L”), and is expected to move east-northeast today, moving across KS\/OK by tonight. The path taken by this upper-low will focus the best lift for precipitation to the south across NM, but will provide sufficient lift across Colorado for another day of unsettled weather.<\/p>\n

\"WV_20160501\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Snow levels will be around 6,000-7,000 feet during the day, and above 5,000 feet tonight. Snow accumulations will vary by region, so that will be broken down in the region-specific forecasts below. As far as QPF goes, the greatest precipitation totals will be confined to the Southwest Slope and San Juan Mountains regions; this is where the best overlap of large-scale lift and moisture will exist. From a statewide perspective, rain rates will remain below flood threat thresholds, and therefore, no flood threat will be issued today.<\/p>\n
