— There is NO<\/strong> flood threat today<\/em><\/p>\n

Another beautiful day of weather is expected statewide. The upper-level ridge continues to reside just north of Colorado. Light westerly flow under the ridge will help continue to dry out the moisture in the low and mid-levels of the atmosphere.  Precipitable Water<\/span> (PW<\/span>) at Denver and Grand Junction this morning was only 0.58 inches. PW<\/span> is expected to remain under 1 inch across the state today, which will give us another break from heavy rainfall.<\/p>\n

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

Storms will begin to fire over the mountains this afternoon. The limited moisture will reduce coverage of the showers once again. Expect storms that form to favor the climatologically active regions of the Palmer Ridge and San Juan Mountains. There is a chance for a few stronger storms to initiate over the Southeast Plains this afternoon along a convergence boundary. The low atmospheric moisture paired with high-based thunderstorms will keep rainfall rates below flood threat levels. Storms will end shortly after sundown. Flooding is not expected today.<\/p>\n
