Cloud cover will increase over the northern mountains this afternoon with this disturbance, so that may provide some relief from the heat. Not much change in the forecast from yesterday. A dry air mass will remain intact over the state, which will keep conditions dry and hot. Flow aloft will become more southwesterly throughout the day, but with dry air also to our west and southwest, there will be little change in available moisture for afternoon storms. As anticipated, flooding is not forecast. There is relief from the heat coming tomorrow for eastern Colorado as a cold front starts to drop through early tomorrow morning. It won&rsquo;t affect western Colorado as much, but high temperatures are still anticipated to drop off a couple of degrees.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/archive-coftb.dewberryanalytics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/vis_20190719.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9922\" src=\"https:\/\/archive-coftb.dewberryanalytics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/vis_20190719.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"375\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Today&rsquo;s Flood Threat Map<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>For more information on today&rsquo;s flood threat, see the map below.
