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

Haze<\/span> will persist statewide through Friday. The heavier low-level smoke will continue to be over the northwest portion of the state. Most stations in this region are currently reporting haze<\/span> with visibility around 9 miles. Visibility will continue to decrease throughout the afternoon especially near and southeast of the fires along the WY\/CO border. Overnight and early this morning, some moisture has worked its way into the southwest corner of the state with southwest surface winds. This is currently producing light showers and cloud cover.<\/p>\n

Northwest flow aloft will continue throughout the day. On the water vapor image below, there is a visible shortwave<\/span> over WY that will work its way south. This extra upper-level energy is expected to enhance upslope flow along the southern mountains. Thus, shower and thunderstorm potential is more numerous<\/span> than on Wednesday. Showers will move SE off the higher terrains, but are expected to quickly dissipate over the eastern plains. With Precipitable Water<\/span> (PW<\/span>) values up to 0.7 inches over the southern mountains, brief heavy rainfall may be possible with max 1-hr totals up to 0.5 inches. A fair amount of instability is expected to form with daytime heating, so stronger thunderstorms may produce gusty winds. Storms should end shortly after sundown.<\/p>\n
