\nIssue Time: 9:05 AM<\/p>\n

A LOW FLOOD THREAT CONTINUES FOR PORTIONS OF THE GREEN RIVER IN WEST CENTRAL MOFFAT COUNTY, THE CACHE LA POUDRE RIVER IN LARIMER COUNTY AND WELD COUNTY, AND THE SOUTH PLATTE RIVER IN WELD COUNTY.<\/em><\/p>\n

Not much change over yesterday’s weather forecast, except that moisture has started out significantly lower this morning. Take a look at the IPW graph below and you’ll notice that moisture completely bottomed out early this morning at all 4 of the normal reporting stations (Boulder, Grand Junction, Pueblo, and Schriever AFB). The strong upper-level ridge centered over the central US will continue to transport dry, hot air into Colorado from the desert southwest. Abundant sunshine will be the main weather story as temperatures climb a few degrees higher than yesterday.<\/p>\n

A couple of fire weather notes are necessary with the dry conditions. Low relative humidity, dry fuels, and gusty winds will continue the Red Flag<\/span> Warning<\/span> across extreme western Colorado. Across eastern Colorado (south of I-70), skies will be a bit hazy today as south-southwest flow aloft transports smoke from the Dog Head Fire (located southeast of Albuquerque, NM) into the region.<\/p>\n

Zone-Specific Forecasts<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Urban Corridor, Northeast Plains, Palmer Ridge, Raton Ridge, and Southeast Plains:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Sunny, hot, and dry will be the main weather story today. Temperatures will be a few degrees warmer than yesterday, with southeastern Colorado (along and south of Highway 50) flirting with triple digits. A few locations will break the century mark, especially in the Arkansas River Valley. Overnight, skies will be clear with overnight lows comparable to last night, perhaps a touch warmer.<\/p>\n

Front Range, Northern Mountains, Northwest Slope, Central Mountains, Grand Valley, Southeast Mountains, Southwest Slope, San Juan Mountains, and San Luis Valley:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Much like the other regions above, today will be sunny, dry, and hot across the area. A couple of fair weather cumulus clouds may be noted over the higher terrain, but the lack of moisture will make them very sparse. Red Flag<\/span> Warnings have been issued for portions of the Northwest Slope, Grand Valley, Central Mountains, Southwest Slope, and San Juan Mountains.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
