Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
HOT AGAIN TODAY WITH ANOTHER CHANCE FOR AFTERNOON AND EVENING RAIN
SHOWERS/ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
-
Not much chance in the overall pattern today as high temperatures
are expected to reach the low to mid 90's once again on the plains
with mid to upper 80's along the foothills. Elevated monsoonal
moisture remains in place over the region resulting in another chance
for isolated heavy rainfall this afternoon and evening with rain
showers possible through the overnight and into Saturday morning.
-
Thunderstorms will develop over the mountains/foothills during the
afternoon. Thunderstorm chances increase over the plains between 3-4pm
with prime time for thunderstorms from 4-10pm. Additional showers and
possibly a weak isolated thunderstorms will remain possible through
the overnight. At least 1 strong round of thunderstorms is expected
this afternoon, with a good chance for an additional rounds of rain
showers/isolated thunderstorms in the evening, however, the initial
afternoon round likely being the strongest and will have the best
chance for heavy rainfall. Any heavy rainfall threat should diminish
after 10pm this evening.
-
Relatively slow overall storm motions from W to E between 3-8mph
will allow for extended periods of heavy rain under stronger storms.
Storm motions may also become erratic or stationary at times due to
outflow boundaries/gust front interactions. This behavior will also
increase the chance for isolated heavy rainfall this afternoon and
into this evening.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Weak to moderate thunderstorms
will produce TR-0.3" in 10-30 minutes. Strong thunderstorms have the
potential to produce 0.3-1.0" of heavy rain in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A nearly stationary strong thunderstorm may
result in up to 2.0" in 60 minutes or less.
A LOOK AHEAD: A cold front will move through the region overnight and
into Saturday effectively dropping Saturday's high temperatures back
into the mid to upper 80's for the plains with upper 70's to around 80
for the foothills. This front will allow a chance for rain showers and
isolated thunderstorms throughout the day Saturday, however, the
intensity of rainfall will hinge on whether temperatures increase
sufficiently during the day to produce stronger storms. the most
likely outcome at this time will be weak to moderate rain
showers/isolated thunderstorms. Conditions start to dry out slightly
Sunday with a slight chance for afternoon rain showers/isolated
thunderstorms with minimal threat for heavy rainfall for now.

-------------------------
HOT AND A LITTLE HAZY TODAY WITH A CHANCE FOR ISOLATED AFTERNOON RAIN
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS
-
Another hot and hazy day for Colorado as highs reach the low to mid
90's on the plains this afternoon with mid to upper 80's along the
foothills. Colorado will continue to tap into monsoon moisture today
resulting in another chance for isolated heavy rainfall this afternoon
and evening.
-
Thunderstorms will develop over the mountains/foothills during the
afternoon. Thunderstorm chances increase over the plains between 3-4pm
with prime time from 4-10pm. Additional showers and weaker
thunderstorms will remain possible through midnight. At least 1 round
of thunderstorms is expected this afternoon, with a good chance for an
additional round of rain showers/isolated thunderstorms in the
evening, however, the initial afternoon round likely being the
strongest and will have the best chance for heavy rainfall.
-
Relatively slow storm motions from W to E between 5-10mph will allow
for extended periods of heavy rain under stronger storms. Storm
motions may also become erratic or potential stationary at times due
to outflow boundaries/gust front interactions. This behavior will also
increase the chance for isolated heavy rainfall this afternoon.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Weak to moderate thunderstorms
will produce TR-0.3" in 10-30 minutes. Strong thunderstorms have the
potential to produce 0.3-1.0" of heavy rain in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A nearly stationary strong thunderstorm may
result in up to 2.0" in 60 minutes or less.
A LOOK AHEAD: As the high-pressure ridge remains over the
Central/Southwest US, Colorado will continue to tap into monsoon
moisture through the weekend with afternoon/evening rain
showers/isolated thunderstorm chances both Saturday and Sunday. The
intensity of rainfall will hinge heavily on how much surface moisture
can remain in place throughout the day with upper 40's to low 50's dew
points projected Saturday, at least a low chance will remain for
isolated heavy rainfall. Conditions dry out at the surface slightly on
Sunday, however a very low threat will remain for isolated heavy
rainfall at this time.

Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
MESSAGE 1'S CONTINUE VALID, HEAVY RAINFALL THREAT DIMINISHING
-
Message 1's will continue valid although the threat for heavy
rainfall is diminishing now that temperatures are cooling.
-
Strong/slow moving thunderstorms concentrated just S and W of the
District over Clear Creek County earlier this afternoon and more
recently over SE Douglas County. Currently there is a gust front
travelling northward from the Douglas County storms but is failing to
initiate new thunderstorms with temperatures now in the 80's.
-
There is weak thunderstorm activity to the NW of the District at
this time and should these storms survive their journey E/SE into the
District or interact with the boundary moving northward heavy rainfall
may still occur in areas that have had minimal storm activity up to
this point. However, with the cooling temperatures thunderstorms will
likely not be as strong as earlier in the day but it will not
necessarily require a strong thunderstorm to produce brief heavy
rainfall.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Weak to moderate thunderstorms
will produce 0.1-0.5" in 10-30 minutes. Strong thunderstorms have the
potential to produce 0.5-1.5" of heavy rain in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A nearly stationary strong thunderstorm may
result in up to 2.5" in 60 minutes or less.

MESSAGE 1'S ISSUED FOR THE ENTIRE DISTRICT
-
Message 1's have been issued for the entire District and will be
valid until 10pm this evening.
-
Thunderstorms are beginning to develop over the higher terrain to
the west with thunderstorms expected to emerge onto the plains between
2-4pm. Prime time for thunderstorm activity is from 2:30-9pm.
Additional showers and weaker thunderstorms will remain possible until
midnight. 1-2 rounds of thunderstorms are expected with the initial
round likely being the strongest.
-
Relatively slow storm motions from W to E at 10-15mph will allow for
extended periods of heavy rain under stronger storms. Storm motions
may become erratic at times due to outflow boundaries/gust front
interactions.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Weak to moderate thunderstorms
will produce 0.2-0.6" in 10-30 minutes. Strong thunderstorms have the
potential to produce 0.6-1.8" of heavy rain in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A nearly stationary strong thunderstorm may
result in up to 3.0" in 60 minutes or less.

MONSOON MOISTURE INCREASES HEAVY RAINFALL THREAT TODAY
-
Mid and upper level monsoon moisture will move overhead today and
result in thunderstorm activity returning to the District.
Thunderstorms that develop will be slow moving and have the potential
to produce heavy rainfall that may lead to excessive runoff and
possibly flash flooding.
-
Thunderstorms will develop over the mountains/foothills during the
early afternoon. Thunderstorm chances increase over the plains between
2-3pm with prime time from 3-9pm. Additional showers and weaker
thunderstorms will remain possible until midnight. 1-2 rounds of
thunderstorms are expected with the initial round likely being the
strongest.
-
Relatively slow storm motions from W to E at around 10mph will allow
for extended periods of heavy rain under stronger storms. Storm
motions may become erratic at times due to outflow boundaries/gust
front interactions.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Weak to moderate thunderstorms
will produce 0.2-0.6" in 10-30 minutes. Strong thunderstorms have the
potential to produce 0.6-1.8" of heavy rain in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A nearly stationary strong thunderstorm may
result in up to 3.0" in 60 minutes or less.
A LOOK AHEAD: Ridge of high pressure shifts back to the west on
Thursday decreasing the chances for thunderstorms over the plains as
the activity moves back over the mountainous areas of the state. There
will still be a chance for isolated afternoon thunderstorm activity
favoring the W and S areas of the District. Heavy rainfall threat
lowers considerably.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
THUNDERSTORMS RETURN TO THE MOUNTAINOUS ARES OF THE STATE WITH DRY
CONDITIONS OVER THE PLAINS
-
Thunderstorm activity will return to the mountains and higher
foothills today as monsoon moisture lurks to the west. There remains
uncertainty as to whether there will be much activity over the
District itself... One thing is for certain, there will be haze from
smoke and temperatures will continue to run in the 90's for highs over
the plains.
-
Thunderstorms will develop along and W of the Continental Divide by
early afternoon. North to south upper level steering winds is expected
to keep the shower and thunderstorm activity over the higher terrain
with the District remaining dry for another day. Although unlikely,
there is a slight chance this evening for a very isolated storm moving
off the higher terrain via gust front activity favoring areas W of
I-25.
-
If a thunderstorm is able to develop today they will likely favor
the terrain west of the District forecast area. Should thunderstorm
activity become more likely as the day progresses over the District
the HPO will be updated to reflect higher chances for precipitation.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No meaningful precipitation
expected today or tonight.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: Gust front activity from higher terrain storms
results in thunderstorm activity developing over the plains late this
afternoon and evening with the potential to produce moderate to
briefly heavy rain.
A LOOK AHEAD: Thunderstorm activity returns to the District on
Wednesday with strong storms capable of producing heavy rainfall that
may lead to excessive runoff and possibly flash flooding. Prime time
for thunderstorms looks to be from 2-8pm at this time.

DRY WITH SEASONAL TEMPERATURES
-
Conditions will be dry over the District today as a layer of warm
air aloft will put a lid on any thunderstorm activity. Temperatures
will warm into the lower 90's over the plains with 80's in the Front
Range foothills under sunny to mostly sunny skies.
-
There will continue to be haze due to multiple fires over the
Pacific NW but our haze/smoke here is not as bad as our neighbors to
the N in Wyoming and Montana.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No precipitation expected today
or tonight.
A LOOK AHEAD: Isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms return to the
District on Tuesday. Storms will be more numerous over the foothills
with a low risk of heavy rainfall. Thunderstorm chances increase
further on Wednesday as monsoon moisture is drawn northward with
scattered afternoon thunderstorms with the potential to produce heavy
rain. Temperatures will continue to run in the 90's over the plains
the next few days.
