Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
MESSAGE 2'S CONTINUE VALID UNTIL 9:00 PM THIS EVENING
-
Message 2's continue valid until 9pm as the threat for heavy
rainfall continues into this afternoon and evening.
-
Cooler and cloudy this morning with a few lingering rain showers out
on the eastern plains at this time. High temperatures today will reach
the mid to upper 70's this afternoon which could help limit the
potential for stronger storms. However, with adequate moisture still
in place, even moderate storms could produce heavy rainfall with the
chance for longer duration rainfall from storms that form along
outflow boundaries that remain stationary for an extended period of
time. Storm chances will start between noon and 1pm, with prime time
between 4-9pm. With the recent moisture it may not take as much rain
to produce excessive runoff and possibly flash flooding.
-
A chance will remain for a few scattered lingering rain showers
through the evening and into the overnight. Overnight skies will
remain cloudy with lows dropping into the 60's on the plains with mid
to upper 50's along the foothills.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Weak thunderstorms will produce
0.2-0.6" in 10-30 minutes. Moderate to strong thunderstorms will have
the potential to produce 0.6-1.8" of heavy rain in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A strong thunderstorm will have the potential to
produce up to 3.6" in 45-60 minutes. Storms that persist beyond 60
minutes may produce locally higher amounts.

MESSAGE 2'S CONTINUE VALID INTO SATURDAY
-
Message 2's continue valid until 9pm Saturday. The Message 3's
issued earlier for SE Boulder and Broomfield Counties have been
allowed to expire at 1:30am.
-
Thunderstorm activity diminished hours ago and light rain showers
continue, mainly impacting northern areas of the District currently.
Rain showers are expected to continue to slowly decrease as the
overnight wears on with a generally dry period into late morning
Saturday.
-
By 10am Saturday there will already be a chance for thunderstorms
over the District with prime time from around noon to 6pm.
Thunderstorms that develop on Saturday will be very capable of
producing heavy rainfall. With the recent moisture it may not take as
much rain on Saturday to produce excessive runoff and possibly flash
flooding.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rain showers will produce a
trace to 0.3" in 60 minutes or less through daybreak Saturday.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A weak to moderate thunderstorm is able to
develop overnight with the potential to produce 0.3-0.9" of heavy rain

severe with the potential to produce extended periods of heavy
rainfall that may lead to excessive runoff and possibly flash
flooding.
-
Moisture levels are expected to be higher than at any point this
season later today and tomorrow and will result in efficient rainfall
producing storms. The greatest threat for heavy rain from
thunderstorms will be through about midnight then rain showers may be
capable of producing up to 1"/hr or higher rainfall rates overnight.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Weak thunderstorms will produce
0.2-0.6" in 10-30 minutes. Moderate to strong thunderstorms will have
the potential to produce 0.6-1.8" of heavy rain in 10-30 minutes.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
HOT AGAIN TODAY WITH A CHANCE FOR AFTERNOON/EVENING/OVERNIGHT RAIN
SHOWERS/ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
-
The final day of 90 degree temperatures as the pattern shifts this
afternoon and into this weekend resulting in good chances for off and
on rain through Sunday. Highs today will reach the low to mid 90's on
the plains with mid to upper 80's along the foothills. An uptick in
mid to upper-level moisture is expected this afternoon as a
disturbance moves into the region bringing a good chance for scattered
rain showers/isolated thunderstorms this afternoon, evening with a
continued chance for some overnight rain showers into Saturday
morning.
-
Rain showers and thunderstorms will initiate along the higher
terrain this afternoon with the best chance for storms in the District
between 3-5pm. Rain showers/thunderstorms chances pick up into the
early evening with a continued chance for rain/thunderstorms until
10pm with generally just rain showers after 10pm and through the
overnight. Storm motions will be relatively slow from W to E between
3-8mph this afternoon with the potential for stationary storms that
form along outflow boundaries which will increase the threat for heavy
rainfall this afternoon and evening.
-
The heavy rainfall threat diminishes this evening and through the
overnight, however an isolated brief heavy rain showers or
thunderstorm cannot be completely ruled out at this time. Overnight
lows will drop into the low to mid 60's with mostly cloudy skies along
with the chance for lingering rain showers through daybreak.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical rain showers to
moderate thunderstorms will produce 0.10-0.40" in 10-30 minutes.
Strong thunderstorms have the potential to produce 0.4-1.2" of heavy
rain in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A nearly stationary strong thunderstorm may
result in up to 2.4" in 60 minutes or less.
A LOOK AHEAD: An active weather pattern is expected through the
weekend as temperatures remain in the upper 70's to low 80's both
Saturday and Sunday. The largest increase in available moisture will
be on Saturday along with the highest threat for heavy rainfall.
However, with cloudy skies and cooler high temperatures, there will be
a chance stronger storms are unable to develop resulting in a better
chance for widespread light to moderate rain showers rather than
moderate to strong thunderstorms. This pattern continues Sunday with
off an on rain showers/isolated thunderstorm chances throughout the
day.

MESSAGE 1'S WILL BE ALLOWED TO EXPIRE
-
Message 1's will be allowed to expire at 10pm. A relatively warmer
layer of air aloft held strong keeping any meaningful thunderstorm
development at bay over NW portions of the District this evening. Now
that temperatures are cooling off the threat for any thunderstorm
activity has ended for the day.
-
Monsoon moisture will increase over the District on Friday and
continue to impact NE Colorado Saturday and Sunday as a cold front
moves through giving us all a nice reprieve from the heat.
-
Heavy rainfall chances increase significantly on Friday and are
expected to peak Sat/Sun, likely lowering into early next week. With
the way this monsoon season has been playing out the next few days
will feature a high likelihood of flooding in or around the District.
Be prepared!
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No meaningful precipitation
expected for the remainder of the overnight period.

MESSAGE 1'S CONITINUE VALID UNTIL 10PM FOR PORTIONS OF THE DISTRICT
-
Message 1's will continue valid over NW portions of the District
until 10pm although the threat for heavy rainfall is diminishing.
-
A warm layer of air aloft has kept any moderate to strong storm
development at bay despite moisture levels rising significantly from
this morning as the 6pm sounding in Denver yielded 1.09" of
precipitable water. A surface wind convergence line still exists over
NW portions of the District but is is now washing out and reducing
storm chances.
-
There is still a slight chance for a stronger, slow moving
thunderstorm to develop but now that temperatures are backing off as
the sun sets this threat is much lower than just a couple hours ago.
As time passes this evening the threat for heavy rainfall also
diminishes likely allowing Messages to expire at 10pm.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rain showers and weak
thunderstorms will produce a trace to 0.2" of rain. Moderate to strong
thunderstorms will have the potential to produce 0.2-0.6" of heavy
rain in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A stationary strong thunderstorm will have the
potential to produce up to 1.2" in 30-60 minutes.

Internal Message Status
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
MESSAGE 1'S ISSUED FOR PORTIONS OF THE DISTRICT
-
Message 1's have been issued for NW portions of the District as a
surface wind convergence boundary is in place and weak storms are
beginning to develop over Boulder and Broomfield Counties.
-
A warm layer of air aloft results in uncertainty if the current
storms can maintain or strengthen but with ample surface moisture in
place if a stronger storm is able to develop it will contain heavy
rainfall. Best chances for storms are near the surface wind
convergence over NW portions of the District but these storms may
produce their own outflow boundaries and produce additional storms
which may become strong may lead to Message 1's being issued for the
remainder of the District as the evening wears on.
-
Thunderstorms will be slow moving due to weak steering winds aloft.
Best chances for thunderstorms will be through 10pm this evening.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rain showers and weak
thunderstorms will produce a trace to 0.3" of rain. Moderate to strong
thunderstorms will have the potential to produce 0.4-1.2" of heavy
rain in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A stationary strong thunderstorm will have the
potential to produce up to 2.5" in 45-75 minutes.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
ANOTHER HOT DAY WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR SCATTERED HIGH-BASED
AFTERNOON RAIN SHOWERS/ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
-
After record breaking heat yesterday, very little change in the
forecast today with highs expected in the low to mid 90s this
afternoon. Although minimal, a slightly better chance today for
scattered high-based afternoon/early evening rain showers/isolated
thunderstorms. However, Most areas will likely remain dry today, with
any storm development favoring areas along the Palmer Divide and
eastward out on the plains.
-
Best chance for storm development will begin between 2-4pm with a
chance for rain showers/isolated thunderstorms through 7-9pm with a
slight chance for continued rain showers favoring northern portions of
the District at this time. Most rain showers/isolated thunderstorms
will be high-based if they do develop, resulting in a better chance
for gusty winds and the occasional lightning strike, however, current
dewpoints are in the low to mid 50's for eastern portions of the
District. If these dewpoints struggle to mix out during the day, a
threat will remain for isolated moderate to heavy rainfall if a
stronger storm is able to develop, especially off an outflow boundary
resulting in erratic or stationary storm movement.
-
Any threat for stronger rain showers/isolated thunderstorms
diminishes quickly after sunset with generally mild conditions
overnight and into Friday as lows are expected to reach the upper 60's
to low 70's for the plains with low to mid 60's along the foothills.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical high-based rain
showers/isolated thunderstorms will produce a TR-0.10" in 10-30
minutes. A moderate rain shower/isolated thunderstorm will produce
0.1-0.3" in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A stronger thunderstorm that forms along an
outflow boundary will have the potential to produce 1.2" in less than
60 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: Monsoonal moisture returns Friday afternoon with a good
chance for rain showers/thunderstorms over the District during the
afternoon/evening and through the overnight into Saturday. As this
disturbance slowly churns, rain and thunderstorm chances will continue
over the region through the entire weekend before this disturbance
starts to move eastward. With adequate moisture in place at the
surface and in the mid to upper-level, the threat for heavy rainfall
will likely persist through the weekend before the region starts to
dry out on Monday of next week.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
DRY, HAZY WITH RECORD BREAKING HEAT
-
High-pressure continues to dominate over the region leading to
another hot, dry and hazy day. Afternoon highs are expected in the mid
to upper 90's across the plains. Current record temperature at DIA for
today is 98 degrees set ALL the way back in 1876. A very good chance
we will reach or break that record at DIA this afternoon.
-
A warm layer of air aloft will continue to eliminate any chance for
rain shower or thunderstorm activity over the District today with dry
conditions expected area wide. There will be a few fair weather clouds
that develop this afternoon over the mountains and along the Palmer
divide with hot and mild conditions through the evening.
-
Overnight lows will remain in the upper 60's to low 70's for the
plains with low to mid 60's along the foothills.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No precipitation expected today
or tonight.
A LOOK AHEAD: Similar conditions Thursday as high temperatures remain
in the mid to upper 90's along the plains with upper 80's to low 90's
along the foothills. Hazy and dry Thursday with continued dry
conditions. A bit cooler Friday with highs in the upper 80's to low
90's. A weak disturbance moves in Friday afternoon bringing a slight
chance for scattered rain shower's/isolated thunderstorms with
minimal, if any, chance for heavy rainfall. A stronger disturbance
moves into the region Saturday effectively dropping high temperatures
into the 80's with a good chance for rain showers/isolated
thunderstorms. Storm intensities will hinge on daytime heating,
although with adequate moisture in place, a moderate chance for heavy
rainfall is expected at this time.
