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

This morning’s water vapor imagery shows a large-scale trough<\/span> draped across the northern Great Plains, stretching south-southwest into eastern Colorado. This vigorous disturbance is generating cloud cover and light to moderate rain showers east of the Continental Divide<\/span>. As the disturbance moves eastward today, a ridge axis will replace its place over Colorado. This means gradually clearing skies for areas east of the Continental Divide<\/span> (joining the already sunny western areas). Nonetheless, up to 0.4 inches of beneficial rainfall will occur from the late morning to early evening hours across parts of eastern Colorado. Flooding is not expected today across the state.<\/p>\n
