— Low flood threat for Urban Corridor, Northeast Plains and Palmer Ridge<\/em><\/p>\n

As seen in the water vapor image, below, the ridge that has been an on and off staple for the past few weeks continues to hold across the Rocky Mountains states. However, a low pressure system is found over the eastern Dakotas that is leading a cool, moist front southward and eastward. This front has already arrived in northeast CO in the form of higher low-level moisture. However, the brunt of the deeper moisture, possibly associated with an organized outflow boundary<\/span> from this afternoon’s expected convection<\/span> across the Great Plains, will arrive in the later afternoon and evening hours. Thus, a few isolated<\/span> heavy rainfall storms will be possible, first during the late afternoon near the Kansas border and then farther west across the northern Palmer Ridge and surrounding areas. A Low flood threat has been issued.<\/p>\n

For all other areas, another warm and dry day is expected with ample sunshine. We have removed the riverine flood threat today as all snowmelt-related runoff has now peaked with streams receding. Meanwhile, the wildfire threat continues along and west of the Continental Divide<\/span> today.<\/p>\n
