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

Minimal changes to the forecast can be attributed to a weak cool front passing through eastern Colorado this morning. First, the cool front will help knock afternoon high temperatures down to seasonal levels across the plains. Second, behind the front, weak upslope flow will help back enough moisture into the foothills\/mountains and provide enough lift to produce scattered<\/span> mountain storms over the Front Range and Southeast Mountains. One or two of these storms may drift over areas along\/west of I-25, bringing mainly gusty winds and brief rainfall to those areas. Finally, the cool front will *attempt* to spark a few isolated<\/span> thunderstorms over the Southeast Plains this afternoon\/evening, mainly along and south of Highway 50.<\/p>\n

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

For western Colorado, the mountains and adjacent valleys will once again see isolated<\/span>-to-scattered<\/span> showers\/storms, especially over the Central Mountains, Southwest Slope, San Juan Mountains, and San Luis Valley. The main impacts from this activity will be gusty winds up to 40 mph and brief light-to-moderate rainfall. Most activity will wind down by 9-10 PM tonight, with a few lingering showers\/storms over southern areas until Midnight or so.<\/p>\n
