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

In the wake of yesterday’s weak disturbance, a significantly drier atmosphere is seen across most of Colorado this morning as seen in the low-level water vapor image below. Precipitable water<\/span> (PW<\/span>) values have dropped from 0.8 – 1 inch yesterday into the 0.4 – 0.7 inch range today. As the weak disturbance continues to move southward within the clockwise flow around the Great Basin ridge, weak subsidence will follow in its wake. Expect a significant reduction in storm coverage today, with most activity limited to the CO\/NM border. Brief heavy rainfall will once again be likely today, but the intensity will not be enough to warrant a flood threat. With increased sunshine expected, very hot temperatures will be back in the forecast unless you are lucky enough to get a rain-cooled outflow boundary<\/span> later this afternoon.<\/p>\n
