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

The passage of a cold front late yesterday afternoon and overnight has helped decrease the low-level haze<\/span> as well as the temperature this morning for the eastern portion of the state. A thick stratus deck is present east of the Divide<\/span> due to the moistening of the lower atmosphere with the passage of the cold front. This will provide relief east of the Continental Divide<\/span> from the heat wave that has impacted the state the last few days. High temperatures today will be 15-20F lower than yesterday with cloudy skies expected most of the day. While smoke is still being advected into the state from the fires up north, it should be mostly confined to the mid- and upper-levels increasing visibility. West of the Continental Divide<\/span>, haze<\/span> will continue in the low-levels further north with the high pressure to the west. The shallow cold front was not able to penetrate the Continental Divide<\/span>, so expect another day of warm temperatures.<\/p>\n

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

In the wake of the cold front, more stable<\/span> air has established itself in the eastern portion of the state. This should confine showers to the southern high terrain once again. Expecting showers to produce little in the way of rain, but gusty winds could accompany the stronger storms. Storms should quickly end around sundown this evening with low temperatures in the 30s for the higher terrains. There is no flood threat today.<\/p>\n
