— LOW<\/strong> flood threat for parts of Southeast Mountains, Raton Ridge and Southeast Plains<\/em><\/p>\n

Another crystal clear start to the day today will allow for strong insolation as we are getting closer to summer’s peak heating. At the upper-levels, as the water vapor image shows below, a large trough<\/span> continues to be centered across central\/eastern North America. As the trough<\/span> slowly continues to move eastward through the day, Colorado will be increasingly affected by subsidence from the high-pressure ridge to the west. However, its impacts will be felt more so west of the Continental Divide<\/span>. To the east, elevated heating will cause a weak upslope circulation to develop especially in southeast Colorado. With just enough low-level moisture, scattered<\/span> showers and thunderstorms will dot the landscape by the afternoon. While the storms won’t be overly impressive, they will be steered by very light winds, less than 25mph. Thus, they will be capable of producing isolated<\/span> heavy rainfall, much like on Monday. A Low flood threat is posted today for the foothills of southeast Colorado for isolated<\/span> flash flooding<\/span>, debris slides and debris flows.<\/p>\n
