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

The upper-level ridge that was largely responsible for the recent stretch of pleasant weather will remain in control of the forecast across eastern Colorado, keeping dry conditions present for another day. A few mid-\/high-level clouds, mainly along\/near the mountains, will be noted, but that’s it. On the other hand, changes are afoot for the High Country and Western Slope in the form of a slowly moving upper-level low. It is easy to pick out the low in the infrared imagery below, as well as the associated subtropical moisture plume. As the low lifts northward, mid- and upper-level moisture will stream into the state, bringing an increase of mid-\/upper-level clouds to western regions.<\/p>\n

A few showers and isolated<\/span> thunderstorms are expected across the Southwest Slope, San Juan Mountains, Grand Valley, and Central Mountains regions this afternoon and evening, with a couple spotty showers continuing overnight over the higher terrain. Rain rates are expected to remain well below flash flood<\/span> thresholds, thanks in part to the low-levels remaining fairly dry. For more details, including rain rates and timing, please see the zone-specific forecast discussions below.<\/p>\n
