— Flooding is NOT expected today.<\/em><\/p>\n

Today’s pattern will be a continuation of yesterday, with a temporary transient ridge setting up overhead as shown in the water vapor image below. The mid-levels of the atmosphere have warmed several degrees Celsius in the last 24-hours and additional height rise are expected. This points to subsidence above the boundary layer<\/span> and should act to limit rainfall amounts. However, with ample sunshine and enough low-level moisture, expect lots of cumulus clouds to pop up and some of those to lead to scattered<\/span> showers and thunderstorms. Highest coverage will be east of the Divide<\/span>, and especially in the Northeast Plains. But with precipitable water<\/span> values at or below their seasonal normal, rainfall is expected to remain in check. Flooding is not expected today.<\/p>\n

The next weather player is also seen on the water vapor image. This cut-off low<\/span>, currently over southern California, is expected to propagate east and will impact Colorado’s weather on Memorial Day (Monday) and into Tuesday. An increase in shower and thunderstorm activity is expected each day.<\/p>\n
