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

The general forecast for this period across Colorado can be summed up like this: warm and dry, with plenty of sunshine. We can thank a warm, subsident airmass that is building overhead in advance of an upper-level trough<\/span> along the West Coast for this pleasant outlook. However, as is the case much of the time for Colorado, there is an exception to the rule.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For southern Colorado, mainly for the San Juan Mountains, San Luis Valley, Southeast Mountains, Raton Ridge, and Southeast Plains regions, a few isolated<\/span> thunderstorms will rumble during the afternoon and evening hours as daytime heating and orographic effects overcome the cap<\/span>. This activity may occur as far north as the southern reaches of the Front Range\/Urban Corridor\/Palmer Ridge\/Northeast Plains. Flooding is not expected, as moisture is fairly shallow and the environmental support is marginal for any organized, strong activity. The strongest thunderstorms will occur across the Southeast Mountains, Raton Ridge, and Southeast Plains, with the main threat being severe winds and hail.<\/p>\n
