Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
HOT, SUNNY AND DRY
-
High-pressure continues to dominate over the region today leading to
hot, sunny and dry conditions throughout today and this evening.
-
Today will likely be the warmest day of the week as highs
temperatures reach the low to mid 90's on the plains with mid to upper
80's along the foothills.
-
Overnight will be mild with lows dropping into the upper 50's to mid
60's across the plains with low to mid 50's along the foothills.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No precipitation is expected
today or this evening.
A LOOK AHEAD: Similar conditions Wednesday as high temperatures are
expected to reach the upper 80's to low 90's in the afternoon. A very
slight chance late Wednesday for a round of high-based rain
showers/isolated thunderstorms with no threat for heavy rainfall at
this time. A stronger disturbance moves in Thursday bringing a better
chance for widespread afternoon and early evening rain
showers/thunderstorms with a low chance at this time for heavy
rainfall. Similar conditions are expected for Friday, although with
slightly cooler temperatures the threat for any heavy rainfall will
decrease accordingly.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
HOT TODAY WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR HIGH-BASED AFTERNOON RAIN
SHOWERS/ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
-
Above average temperatures continue over the District today as highs
reach the low 90's on the plains with low to mid 80's along the
foothills. Mild with mostly sunny skies this morning with a slight
chance for scattered high-based rain showers/isolated thunderstorms
this afternoon and early evening.
-
Rain showers and thunderstorms will initiate in the high country
around midday with the best chance for storms in the District between
1-8pm this afternoon and early evening. Currently dew points are in
the mid 40's to around 50 and will likely mix out through the day into
the mid to upper 30's this afternoon. With such a wide temperature/dew
point spread, the biggest threat today from any storms that develop
will be gusty winds and possibly a few lightning strikes. Rainfall
will likely be minimal at this time, however, if dew points do not mix
out and they remain elevated, the threat for moderate to very brief
heavy rainfall could increase this afternoon and early evening.
-
After sunset skies will gradually clear leading to mild and dry
conditions through the overnight with lows dropping into the upper
50's to low 60's on the plains with low 50's along the foothills.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical high-based rain showers
will produce a trace to 0.10" of rainfall in 10-30 minutes. An
isolated thunderstorm will produce 0.1-0.3" of rainfall in 10-30
minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A moderate to strong thunderstorms has the
potential to produce 0.3-0.8" of rainfall in 45-60 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: Conditions rapidly dry out tomorrow as high temperatures
reach the low to mid 90's during the afternoon under mostly sunny
skies. Similar conditions Wednesday with another slight chance for
scattered high-based rain showers/isolated thunderstorms. A shift in
the pattern towards the end of the week and heading into the weekend
with storm chances picking up with the threat for stronger
afternoon/evening storm development along with at least a low heavy
rainfall both Thursday and Friday.

-------------------------
HEAT RETURNS WITH DRY CONDITIONS
-
High pressure will strengthen overhead today allowing temperatures
to warm back to above normal in the upper 80's to lower 90's over the
plains with 70's in the Front Range foothills. Normal high for Denver
toady is 87 degrees. Skies will be sunny to mostly sunny through the
day with no precipitation expected in or near the District.
-
Winds will be weaker than yesterday but still breezy at times
through the day today from the S/SW early and W/NW later afternoon in
the 5-15mph range with gusts to 20mph or more possible.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No precipitation expected today
or tonight.
A LOOK AHEAD: Temperatures will continue to run in the upper 80's to
lower 90's for highs on Monday with a chance for isolated afternoon
thunderstorms. Thunderstorm coverage will favor the foothills and
Palmer Divide with storms generally producing light rainfall and gusty
winds.

-------------------------
SEASONABLY COOL WITH WIELY SCATTERED AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS
-
Temperatures will be seasonably cool over the District today with
highs reaching the upper 70's to lower 80's over the plains with 60's
and 70's in the Front Range foothills. Normal high for Denver today is
87 degrees.
-
An upper level disturbance will move in from the SW this afternoon
and produce widely scattered showers and thunderstorms over the
District into the early evening. Showers and thunderstorms will first
develop over the foothills between 1-2pm, then push out onto the
plains between 2-4pm with best chances through about 8 or 9pm this
evening. 1-2 rounds of showers and thunderstorms are expected.
-
Storms will be relatively fast moving from SW to NE at around 20mph
and moisture levels are only modest at the surface with dew points in
the 40's resulting in storms that develop today generally producing
light to briefly moderate rain. A strong slower moving storm or
briefly anchored strong thunderstorm on a surface wind convergence
line will pose a slight risk for heavy rainfall today.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rain showers and weak
thunderstorms will produce a trace to 0.2" of rain. Weak to moderate
thunderstorms will have the potential to produce 0.2-0.6" of moderate
to briefly heavy rain in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A large/slower moving strong thunderstorm may
result in up to 1.2" of rain in 60 minutes or less.
A LOOK AHEAD: High pressure will quickly build over the District on
Sunday leading to dry conditions and temperatures warming into the
upper 80's and lower 90's over the plains.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
WARM, BREEZY AND DRY TODAY
-
A cooler start to the day as an overnight/early morning round of
rain showers/thunderstorms impacted the District. These rain showers
have moved well out to the east leaving mostly sunny skies with a nice
westerly breeze resulting in a slight break in hazy conditions to
start the day.
-
Breezy to gusty winds behind the disturbance will continue
throughout the day from the W/NW with gusts up to 30mph this
afternoon. Unfortunately with W/NW flow, hazy skies will gradually
increase throughout the day and into this evening. High temperatures
today will reach the upper 70's to low 80's across the plains with low
to mid 70's along the foothills.
-
Winds will be on the decrease through the evening as overnight lows
drop into the mid to upper 50's on the plains with upper 40's to low
50's along the foothills.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No precipitation is expected
today or this evening.
A LOOK AHEAD: A small disturbance moves through Colorado on Saturday
resulting in a slight chance for high-based rain showers/isolated
thunderstorms in the afternoon and early evening. At this time the
threat for heavy rain is minimal at best. High-pressure returns
Sunday, along with 90 degree temperatures with dry conditions expected
throughout the day. Hot mild and dry for the beginning of the week
with temperatures remaining in the 90's through Wednesday.

rainfall has ended.
-
Behind the broken line of fast moving thunderstorms that moved
through the District between 2-4am dry conditions have filled in and
are expected to continue for the remainder of the morning. Downslope
W/NW winds behind the trough axis will act to dry out the atmosphere
and severely limit the chances for any additional precipitation the
remainder of today.
-
The HPO will be issued later this morning addressing any chances for
precipitation this afternoon but the trend is for dry weather and
unseasonably cool temperatures.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No precipitation expected the

Message 1's have been issued for Adams, Boulder, Broomfield and
Jefferson Counties and will be valid until 5am. Additional Counties
may be added to the Message 1's over the next 30-60mins.
-
Upper level low pressure system is producing a nocturnal round of
showers and thunderstorms that will impact NW areas of the District
into the pre-dawn hours. The showers and thunderstorms are fast moving
from SSW to NNE at around 30mph but will be capable of producing brief
heavy rainfall that may lead to excessive runoff.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
A CHANCE FOR OVERNIGHT RAIN SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY A FEW ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS
-
As the disturbance continues to move through Colorado there will be
a chance through the overnight for an additional round of rain
showers/isolated thunderstorms.
-
At this time, the best chance for an additional round of rain
showers/isolated thunderstorms will be between 2-6am Friday. Due to
the timing, the most likely outcome will be rain showers with
typically a trace to 0.2" of rainfall in 10-30 minutes. However, an
isolated thunderstorm cannot be completely ruled out which could
produce 0.2-0.5" in 10-30 minutes. Storms will be moving from west to
east fairly quickly between 10-20mph which will help limit point
rainfall amounts, however a slower moving storm, or possible training
of rain showers/thunderstorms has the potential to produce moderate to
brief heavy rainfall.
-
By daybreak, chances will subside for any additional rain showers
throughout the rest of the day with dry conditions likely into
Saturday.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rain showers will produce a
trace to 0.2" of rain. Weak to moderate thunderstorms will have the
potential to produce 0.2-0.5" in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A strong thunderstorm is able to develop with the
potential to produce heavy rainfall of 1.0" in 10-30 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: A very slight chance Saturday afternoon and early
evening for some pesky high-based rain showers/isolated thunderstorms
with little to threat for heavy rainfall. Sunday will be dry and that
trend will continue through the week as high-pressure returns with
high temperatures expected in the mid to upper 80's for the plains
with upper 70's to low 80's along the foothills.

MESSAGE 1'S WILL BE ALLOWED TO EXPIRE AT 6PM/ADDITIONAL ROUND OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT...
-
Message 1's will be allowed to expire at 6pm as the threat for heavy
rainfall has ended, at least through the rest of today...
Thunderstorms that moved through the District earlier today produced
brief periods of heavy rainfall, hail and even spawned multiple NWS
tornado warnings.
-
The stronger thunderstorm activity has pushed well east of the
District with additional rain showers and weak thunderstorms remaining
possible into the evening but heavy rainfall is no longer a threat
until another upper level wave moves through overnight. After midnight
tonight another round of rain showers and possibly thunderstorms
associated with the strong upper level low pressure system to the NW
is expected to move through sometime between 1-7am Friday morning.
-
An additional HPO will be issued this evening to assess the
overnight heavy rainfall threat and another Message 1 period may be
needed to cover the potential for heavy 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 0.1-0.4" in 10-30
minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A strong thunderstorm is able to develop with the
potential to produce heavy rainfall of 0.3-0.8" in 10-30 minutes.

MESSAGE 1'S ISSUED FOR THE DISTRICT
-
Message 1's have been issued for all areas of the District except
Douglas County at this time and will be valid until 6:00pm this
evening. Douglas County may be added over the next hour.
-
Thunderstorm activity is beginning to initiate over the higher
terrain associated with a potent upper level trough of low pressure
and will begin to spread out onto the plains shortly. Fast storm
motions from SSW to NNE at 30-40mph will limit point rainfall amounts
from a singe storm, likely keeping any heavy rainfall under 5 minutes
or less in duration for the most part. Training of thunderstorm cells
will produce the greatest risk for extended periods of heavy rainfall
that may lead to excessive runoff and possibly flash flooding.
-
Stronger thunderstorm activity today is expected to favor I-70
northward. Strong thunderstorms may also become severe with gusty
winds and large hail being the primary threats.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Weak to moderate thunderstorms
