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

High pressure yesterday helped to squeeze moisture out of the state, easily seen in the IPW chart below. As of this morning, all of the four usual reporting stations were below 0.3 inches. This dip in moisture combined with high pressure has kept Colorado dry through this morning, and will into the early afternoon hours. With that said, a quick-moving cool front, with shallow moisture, will race across eastern Colorado today; it has already entered northeast Colorado this morning. The cool front will mainly bring a wind shift through the early afternoon hours. However, as low-level flow becomes increasingly easterly with time, moisture will deepen across eastern Colorado from north-to-south. This will bring isolated<\/span> showers, and a thunderstorm or two, back into the forecast.<\/p>\n

\"IPW_20160513\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Rain rates will remain light from any activity, owing to the dry nature of the airmass overall and lack of upper-level support. The Front Range, Northeast Plains, and Urban Corridor will see the isolated<\/span> activity begin first, between 4 and 7 PM. Over time, as the upslope flow develops southward, the Palmer Ridge, Southeast Plains, Southeast Mountains, and Raton Ridge will get involved during the evening and overnight hours. Otherwise, over the rest of the High Country, today and tonight will be marked by mostly sunny\/clear skies with only some high-based clouds\/virga<\/span> over the higher terrain.<\/p>\n
