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

As the upper-level trough<\/span> shifts across the Northern Rockies, west-southwesterly flow aloft will be in place above Colorado today. The trough<\/span> will provide some broad support for another day of isolated<\/span>-to-scattered<\/span> showers and thunderstorms, but drier air embedded within that flow means that coverage will be less than yesterday. The High Country, with its additional orographic support, will see the best coverage of showers\/storms today, in the scattered<\/span> category, while east of the mountains will be more isolated<\/span>. Even with showers and thunderstorms in the forecast, the drier air, combined with relatively quick storm motions to the east-northeast, will leave Colorado with no flood threat for today. Localized areas of street ponding in urban and low-lying areas cannot be ruled out from areas impacted by a brief period of moderate rainfall, but will amount to nothing more than a slight nuisance. For more details on timing and rain rates, please see the zone-specific forecast discussions below.<\/p>\n

Zone-Specific Forecasts<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Urban Corridor, Palmer Ridge, Northeast Plains, Southeast Plains, and Raton Ridge:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Above normal temperatures and isolated<\/span>-to-widely scattered<\/span> showers and thunderstorms are expected. There isn’t as much moisture to work with as yesterday, so expect storms to produce plenty of wind and spotty rainfall. Rain rates will generally be less than 0.1 inches\/hour, with maximum rates of 0.2-0.35 inches\/hour west of I-25 and 0.3-0.5 inches\/hour east of I-25.<\/p>\n

Timing: 1 PM – 11 PM, with a couple lingering thunderstorms into the overnight hours thanks to a secondary, weak disturbance<\/p>\n

Northern Mountains, Northwest Slope, Front Range, Central Mountains, Grand Valley, Southeast Mountains, San Juan Mountains, Southwest Slope, and San Luis Valley:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Scattered<\/span> showers and thunderstorms expected today and tonight, moving at a decent clip to the east-northeast. The best coverage will occur south of I-70 once again, with the higher terrain of the Southwest Slope, San Juan Mountains, Grand Valley, and Central Mountains being the big “winners,” so to speak. Rain rates will generally be less than 0.1 inches\/hour, with maximum rates of 0.2-0.4 inches\/hour.<\/p>\n

Timing: 11 AM – 2 AM, with a couple lingering showers\/weak thunderstorms until daybreak on Monday<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
