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

After a prolonged period of widespread<\/span> active weather, today will see a transitioning to overall quieter conditions. The large-scale disturbance that has been in our discussions for nearly a week now is still positioned west of Colorado. However, the main difference is that with strong southwesterly flow aloft, moisture has decreased significantly over most of Colorado today. The precipitable water<\/span> chart, below, shows a unanimous decline at the five sites shown here (Denver, Boulder, Pueblo, Grand Junction and Colorado Springs) into the 0.6 to 0.8 inch range. The one exception to this conclusion is in the far northeast part of the state. There, a small pocket of moister air and instability will remain this afternoon. This is expected to cause scattered<\/span> thunderstorms, capable of large hail up to 1.5 inches and a tornado or two. However, with steering winds of 40mph+, these storms could produce short-term heavy rainfall, but will simply not have enough time to cause a flooding threat.<\/p>\n
