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

REMINDER: THIS IS THE FINAL FTB OF THE 2016 SEASON. IT HAS BEEN A PLEASURE TO SERVE YOU. THE NEXT FTB SEASON BEGINS ON MAY 1, 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n

The moisture plume that has been laying across western Colorado for a couple of days now is on the move eastward, evidenced in the IPW chart below. Grand Junction IPW (green line) remains elevated, at around 1 inch, while Boulder (blue line) and Schriever AFB (pink line) are on a steady march upward. All in all, there will be plenty of moisture to fuel another period of scattered<\/span> showers\/isolated<\/span> thunderstorms across much of the High Country and Western Slope, with lesser amounts of activity spilling over the Urban Corridor, and western extents of the Southeast Plains, Palmer Ridge, and Raton Ridge. Generally speaking, areas east of a north-south line from Sterling-to-Flagler-to-Las Animas-to-Andrix will remain dry.<\/p>\n

Most activity will be in the form of showers, with light-to-moderate rainfall being the main impact. A couple isolated<\/span> thunderstorms will mix in, producing periods of moderate rainfall, perhaps brief bouts with localized heavy rainfall. Area burn scars such as Waldo Canyon and Hayden Pass should be monitored, but no flood threat is warranted due to dry antecedent conditions. Additionally, localized street ponding may be an issue on roadways, so be on the lookout for that, as well. For more information, including rain rates and timing, please see the zone-specific discussions below.<\/p>\n
