— LOW flood threat today for parts of Grand Valley (landslide possible)<\/em><\/p>\n

The trend of quieter weather will continue for Colorado after the passage of Thursday’s impressive low-pressure system. A transient upper-level ridge will build over the state today, which will promote subsidence in the mid-levels of the atmosphere. Precipitable water<\/span> values, shown below, continue to fall or held steady just under their seasonal normals today. In all, a typical summer-like diurnal pattern is expected today, with scattered<\/span> showers and a weak thunderstorm building in the highest elevations by early afternoon. Activity will move quickly eastward into the Cheyenne and Palmer Ridges with generally light rainfall amounts. Despite the quieter weather, hikers should be aware that even weak thunderstorms can cause dangerous lightning. A small cumulus cloud can transition into a lightning producing storm in only 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

We continue to point out that a Flash Flood<\/span> Watch<\/span>, issued by the Grand Junction NWS<\/span>, remains active today for the Salt Creek landslide area (Mesa County). We urge everyone in that area to keep up to date with local officials or the NWS<\/span>.<\/p>\n
