MESSAGE 1'S ISSUED FOR PORTIONS OF THE DISTRICT
-
Message 1's have been issued for Boulder, Jefferson and Douglas
Counties and will be valid until 10:00pm this evening. Additional
Message 1's will likely be issued for the remainder of the District in
the coming hours.
-
Thunderstorms are just beginning to initiate over the foothills, a
little earlier than expected and will become more numerous into the
afternoon. Thunderstorms that develop today will be very capable of
producing heavy rainfall that may lead to excessive runoff and
possibly flash flooding. Storm motions will be slow, at 10mph or less
and thunderstorms may have a tendency to anchor along the
foothill/plains interface potentially producing moderate to heavy
rainfall for an extended period of time.
-
Thunderstorms are expected to remain over the higher terrain until
early to mid afternoon then become widespread into the evening. Best
chances for thunderstorm activity will be until around 10:00pm with
scattered showers until midnight. After midnight a drying trend is
expected but there will continue to be a modest chance for light rain
into Tuesday morning.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rain showers and weak
thunderstorms will produce 0.1-0.4" in 10-30 minutes. Moderate to
strong thunderstorms. Moderate to strong thunderstorms will have the
potential to produce 0.4-1.0" in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A strong thunderstorm becomes stationary
producing an extended period of heavy rainfall with up to 2.0" in 60
minutes or less.

Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
CONTINUED CLOUDY AND COOL WITH AFTERNOON/EVENING RAIN/THUNDERSTORMS
WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL
-
Continued cloudy and cool through the first half of the day today
with temperatures warming into the 60's over the plains with 50's in
the foothills. All the ingredients are in place for showers and
thunderstorms to develop today the only question is will temperatures
warm enough for thunderstorms to become moderate to strong or will
temperatures remain too cool and result in only weak thunderstorms and
a bias towards non-thunderstorm rain? Just a few degrees could be the
difference...
-
There is a chance for an isolated rain shower or sprinkle this
morning with conditions trending dry into early afternoon. The cloud
cover and cooler temperatures will help to push back the initiation of
shower and thunderstorm activity with the first storms likely
developing between 2-4pm over the foothills then spread out onto the
plains between 4-6pm. Scattered to widespread shower and thunderstorm
coverage is then expected to around 10pm and could linger until
midnight. After midnight conditions trend drier with isolated light
rain showers possible overnight into Tuesday morning.
-
Thunderstorms that develop today will be capable of producing heavy
rainfall that may lead to excessive runoff and possibly flash
flooding. Storm motions will be slow, at 10mph or less and
thunderstorms may have a tendency to anchor along the foothill/plains
interface potentially producing moderate to heavy rainfall for an
extended period of time.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rain showers and weak
thunderstorms will produce 0.1-0.4" in 10-30 minutes. Moderate to
strong thunderstorms. Moderate to strong thunderstorms will have the
potential to produce 0.4-1.0" in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A strong thunderstorm becomes stationary
producing an extended period of heavy rainfall with up to 2.0" in 60
minutes or less.
A LOOK AHEAD: A chance for a few isolated light rain showers persist
into daybreak Tuesday then an increase in non-thunderstorm rain
showers increase through the morning with a chance for generally weak
isolated afternoon thunderstorms. Temperatures will remain below
seasonal averages in the 60's for highs over the plains. Heavy
rainfall is not expected at this time.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
CLOUDY AND COOL THIS MORNING WITH AFTERNOON/EVENING RAIN SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS
-
Low clouds in place over the District this morning will give way to
some sunshine into early afternoon southern areas while the clouds may
hang around much of the day northward. The clouds and their impact on
daytime heating will have repercussions on thunderstorm strength and
coverage this afternoon/evening. Highs will remain in the 60's in
locations with more persistent cloud cover while southern zones may be
able to reach the lower 70's.
-
Much like yesterday, locations that experience more sun through the
first half of the day will have the better chances for stronger
thunderstorms in the afternoon. This should trend to better coverage
of storms over the foothills and southern portions of the District.
However, outflow generated from initial storms may produce gust fronts
that can trigger additional storms in the less favorable/cooler
environment. If clouds dissipate quickly this morning then storm
chances increase across the board.
-
There are enough favorable ingredients today with modest moisture in
place and slower storm motions for strong thunderstorms that develop
to have the potential for heavy rainfall that could lead to excessive
runoff. Storm motions will generally be from W to E at 10-15mph but
stronger storms may anchor or move erratically along gust
fronts/outflow boundaries. Best chances for thunderstorms today will
be from 1-9pm over the higher terrain and from 3-10pm over the plains.
Additional light rain showers remain possible after 10pm.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Weak to moderate thunderstorms
will have the potential to produce 0.1-0.4" in 10-30 minutes. Strong
thunderstorms will have the potential to produce 0.4-1.0" in 10-30
minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: An anchored strong thunderstorm or training of
thunderstorm cells may result in up to 2.0" of rain in 60 minutes or
less.
A LOOK AHEAD: Shower and thunderstorm activity is expected to increase
on Monday becoming scattered to widespread in the afternoon.
Thunderstorm chances decrease Monday evening, transitioning to a
soaking non-thunderstorm rain at times overnight into Tuesday morning.
Additional rain shower activity is expected through the day on Tuesday
with possibly an isolated thunderstorm in the afternoon. Temperatures
will continue to trend below seasonal averages.

MESSAGE 1s WILL BE ALLOWED TO EXPIRE AT 9:00 PM
-
Message 1's will be allowed to expire at 9:00pm since the threat for
heavy rainfall has come to an end.
-
A few lingering rain showers will be possible over the next hour
favoring southeastern portions of the District. Typical rain showers
will likely produce TR-0.10" of total rainfall. Partly cloudy skies
through the rest of the evening and overnight with lows dropping into
the upper 40's on the plains with low 40's along the foothills. Excess
surface moisture, with dewpoints currently hovering around 50, will
result in foggy conditions this evening and into tomorrow morning.
-
Tomorrow will start off cloudy and cool with another good chance for
afternoon rain/thunderstorms with a slight chance of storms becoming
severe. Dew points will rise back into the 50's, along with better
upper level support, will bring a good chance for heavy rainfall
tomorrow afternoon and evening.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical rain showers could
produce a TR-0.10" in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A slower moving rain shower could produce
0.10-0.20" in 10-30 minutes.

MESSAGE 1'S ISSUED FOR REMAINDER OF THE DISTRICT
-
Message 1's have been issued for the remaining areas of the District
and will be valid until 9:00pm. A convergence line currently stretches
from Jefferson County through the central portions of the District and
is expected to act as a focus for additional thunderstorm development
into this evening.
-
Thunderstorms that develop will have the potential to produce brief
heavy rainfall that may lead to excessive runoff and street flooding.
Hail and gusty winds may also accompany the stronger thunderstorm
cells. Best chances for thunderstorm activity is expected to be
through sunset.
-
Storm motions will generally be from west to east at 15-20mph.
Stronger thunderstorms may anchor briefly or have erratic storm
movements at times due to outflow boundaries/gust fronts.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical rain showers and weak
thunderstorms will produce a 0.1-0.3" of rain. Moderate to strong
thunderstorms will have the potential to produce 0.3-0.8" in 10-30
minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A stalled out thunderstorm along an outflow
boundary may result in up to 1.6" of rain in 60 minutes or less.

surface heating this morning. These storms have the potential to
produce heavy rainfall that may lead to excessive runoff. Strongest
storms are currently in and around Aurora Reservoir and will be
tracking E/NE out of the District over the next 60-90 minutes. Hail
may also accompany the stronger thunderstorm cells.
-
Storm motions will generally be from west to east at 15-20mph.
Stronger thunderstorms may anchor briefly or have erratic storm
movements at times due to outflow boundaries/gust fronts.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS...
-
Trough of low pressure to the west will rotate an upper level
disturbance over the District later today producing mid to late
afternoon thunderstorms that may persist well into the evening. Ahead
of the thunderstorm activity conditions will be dry through early
afternoon with temperatures being held down a bit due to cloud cover,
over northern areas of the District with sunshine this morning over
southern zones resulting in highs in the 60s/70s. This sunny/cloudy
line will play a role in thunderstorm development later today...
-
Thunderstorms will first begin to initiate where there is more
sunshine through the first half of the day over the foothills and
Palmer Divide region between 1-3pm. These initial storms will likely
produce outflow boundaries and initiate new storm development over a
larger geographical area between 3-6pm. Widely scattered storm
coverage is then expected through about 10pm, but could linger until
around midnight, ending from west to east.
-
Moderate to strong thunderstorms will be capable of producing brief
moderate to heavy rainfall and stronger thunderstorms may become
severe with gusty winds and large hail being the primary threats.
Storm motions will generally be from west to east at 15-20mph.
Stronger thunderstorms may move against the grain and outflow
boundaries may lead to erratic storm movements at times.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical rain showers and weak
thunderstorms will produce a 0.1-0.3" of rain. Moderate to strong
thunderstorms will have the potential to produce 0.3-0.8" in 10-30
minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A stalled out thunderstorm along an outflow
boundary may result in up to 1.6" of rain in 60 minutes or less.
A LOOK AHEAD: Thunderstorm activity will increase on Sunday with a wet
and cool weather pattern setting up into early next week as the upper
level low pressure system to the W continues to rotate disturbances
into Colorado. Thunderstorms will become possible by around noon
Sunday with stronger storms capable of producing periods of moderate
and briefly heavy rainfall. Sunday evening thunderstorm activity is
expected to diminish with a continued chance of rain showers
overnight.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES WITH ISOLATED AFTERNOON
THUNDERSTORMS
-
Temperatures will warm into the low and mid 70's over the plains
today with 60's in the Front Range foothills which is slightly above
normal for this time of year. Normal high for Denver today is 70
degrees.
-
Dry conditions this morning will give way to isolated rain showers
and thunderstorms this afternoon. Storms will first develop over the
higher terrain by around noon and then move eastward onto the plains
by around 1 or 2pm. A chance for isolated shower and thunderstorm
activity will persist through about sunset. Thunderstorms will be
capable of producing brief moderate rainfall.
-
Showers and thunderstorms will be fast moving from WNW to ESE at
20-30mph which will keep any moderate rainfall brief. Stronger
thunderstorms may contain gusty winds and hail as well as brief
moderate rainfall.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rain showers and weak
thunderstorms will produce a trace to 0.1" of rain. Moderate
thunderstorms will have the potential to produce 0.1-0.3" of rain in
10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A slow moving strong thunderstorm is able to
develop and would have the potential to produce 0.2-0.6" in 10-30
minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: Multiple disturbances moving through Saturday through
Tuesday will result in daily showers and thunderstorms through early
next week. Some storms may become strong to severe, and runoff may be
an issue with stronger/slower moving storms as they will be good rain
producers. A string of Message days is likely to unfold.

WARM AND SUNNY TODAY WITH A ERY SLIGHT CHANCE FOR SCATTERED AFTERNOON
RAIN SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS
-
Finally a day with some sunshine as a slow moving low-pressure
system exits the region today. Temperatures on the plains this
afternoon will reach the low 60's with 50's along the foothills. Some
patchy fog over parts of the District this morning due to excess
surface moisture which could bring a very slight chance for scattered
afternoon rain showers/isolated thunderstorms as the sun comes out
today and warms the surface.
-
As the fog lifts, mostly sunny skies are expected through the
morning with a very slight chance for some shower activity along the
higher terrain around midday. NW flow aloft picks up in the afternoon
bringing a chance for some rain shower/isolated thunderstorm activity
across the District between 1-6pm with skies clearing into the
evening. Typical rain showers, if they do develop, will produce
between a TR-0.05" in 10-30 min, with an isolated 0.20" possible if a
stronger cell is able to develop. Biggest threat today would be gusty
winds under any showers/isolated thunderstorms that develop.
-
Mild and dry conditions this evening and through the overnight as
low temperatures are only expected to drop into the upper 30's to
around 40 for the plains with low to mid 30's for the foothills.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rain showers or a weak
thunderstorm will produce TR-0.05" in 10-30 minutes. A moderate
thunderstorms will have the potential to produce 0.05-0.2" in 10-30
minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: An anchored moderate/strong thunderstorm may
result in up to 0.5" of rain in 60-90 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: Warmer, sunny and dry Thursday with high temperatures
expected to reach the low 70's across the plains with 60's along the
foothills. Similar conditions to start the day Friday with highs
reaching the low to mid 70's. A chance Friday afternoon and evening
for high-based scattered rain/isolated thunderstorms. Temperatures
hold in the 70's Saturday as rain chances increase into the Weekend.
