Issue Date: 5\/19\/2016
\nIssue Time: 9:30 AM<\/p>\n

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

An upper-level ridge will move into Colorado today in advance of the next upper-level low deepening along the West Coast. The ridging will help dry out the atmosphere just a bit, as well as suppress some afternoon\/evening convection<\/span>. Although it won’t be a completely dry day, the ridge will provide warmer temperatures than the last few days, getting high temperatures almost back to average for this time of year.<\/p>\n

\"IPW_20160519\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The best coverage of showers and thunderstorms will be over the higher terrain and high valleys, with a few spilling over the adjacent lower elevations. IPW values (see chart above) are about average for the date, so heavy rain rates reaching flash flood<\/span> threat thresholds is not a concern today. Expect most of the activity to diminish just after sunset with the loss of daytime heating. Please see the zone-specific discussions below for more details on timing and rain rates.<\/p>\n
