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

This morning’s weather setup is very similar to Wednesday’s with Colorado being positioned just to the south of a seasonably strong early summer jet stream<\/span>. In this case, the jet stream<\/span> is not only separating warmer air to south from colder air to the north, but is also acting as a moisture boundary. Areas to its south are very dry this morning, as seen in the low-level water vapor imagery below from GOES-16. Note that the black colors in NM, AZ and CA are actually off the color scale because of just <\/strong>how dry it is. This morning’s precipitable water<\/span> (PW<\/span>) in Flagstaff, AZ was a mere 0.1 inch.<\/p>\n

Closer to home, PW<\/span> values are more in the 0.25 to 0.5 inch range across the state, which is still much below seasonal normal. With plenty of sunshine this morning, expect a quick warm up with some fair weather cumulus clouds likely this afternoon. Areas towards the KS border could see an isolated<\/span> shower or weak storm, much like Wednesday afternoon. However, nothing that warrants a flood threat.<\/p>\n
