NO FLOOD THREAT IS FORECAST.<\/em><\/p>\n

The main weather story today will be the passage of a cool front from the north. There is not much moisture associated with the front, so it will result in cooler temperatures and little else. You can see just how dry the atmosphere is over much of Colorado in the IPW graph below; Boulder, Grand Junction, and Shriever AFB are all hovering around 0.3 inches. A few mid-\/high-level clouds will develop over the Front Range\/Southeast Mountains and adjacent lower elevations in the slightly upslope flow regime behind the front, but no precipitation is expected. Over the High Country and Western Slope, gusty winds will be noticeable, but with lesser wind speeds than yesterday afternoon.<\/p>\n

The lone exception to today’s dry forecast will be across the Raton Ridge and far Southeast Plains where a bit better moisture will hang on. Most of the activity is expected to remain south and east of the area in neighboring states, but one or two isolated<\/span> showers\/thunderstorms cannot be ruled out. Rain rates are expected to stay below flash flood<\/span> thresholds, so no flood threat is forecast today.<\/p>\n
