Today’s Forecast:
Hazy for I-25 and the plains due to wildfire smoke. Conditions will stay dry for I-25 and the plains today. But flash flood watches still remain in place for Colorado mountain areas and the high country.
Showers and thunderstorms will be underway in the mountains by noon and will last through the evening. On the saturated ground, it won't take much to create runoff and flash flood conditions today.
