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

The upper level ridge shifts more to the east today while also becoming more zonal<\/span> this afternoon. This westerly flow will allow a bit more mid-level moisture to build up over the high country west of the Continental Divide<\/span>. Some embedded vorticitiy maximums in the zonal<\/span> flow aloft will help produce a little extra lift over the northern portion of the state. Storms will develop with upslope flow early this afternoon over the higher terrain and should be more widespread<\/span> in coverage than yesterday. Precipitable water<\/span> values at Denver and Grand Junction this morning were 0.69 inches and 0.84 inches, respectively. Moisture is only expected to increase a little throughout the day, so all storms that form will have hourly precipitation rates under flood threat criteria with the main threat being small hail and gusty winds. Over the NE corner of the state, a weak cold front will set up this afternoon. This could help support some isolated<\/span> severe weather in the Northeast Plains. These isolated<\/span> storms could produce hail up to 1 inch diameter, wind gusts up to 60 mph and 1-hour rain rates up to 1 inch.<\/p>\n
