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

It is a tale of two weather patterns today, as easily seen in the visible satellite image, below. To the east of the Continental Divide<\/span>, a stable<\/span> air mass punctuated by a low cloud deck is firmly entrenched. Even with the high June sun, instability this afternoon will be slim to none as the clouds act as a barrier to insolation. To the west, clear skies are seen with temperatures cooling off to just above seasonal normal. A few showers will be likely mainly across southeast Colorado today. A week thunderstorm will be possible along the Sangre de Cristo mountains and northern San Luis Valley. However, flooding is NOT expected today.<\/p>\n

With only limited rainfall expected, the Arkansas River below Pueblo Dam is expected to stay at current levels, just under Minor flood stage. Thus, the low flood threat has been removed there.<\/p>\n
