Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
WIDESPREAD/SOAKING RAIN TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE INTO
WEDNESDAY WITH SOME SNOW FOR THE FOOTHILLS
-
The weather pattern will be deteriorating today as a low pressure
system moves in from the NW with rain showers and possibly a
thunderstorm or two becoming possible this afternoon with a
widespread/soaking rain and even some high elevation snow overnight
into Wednesday. Heavy rainfall is not anticipated but smaller creeks
and streams will experience increased flows later today into the day
on Wednesday as persistent showers will produce runoff.
-
Best chances for thunderstorm activity will be at the onset then
temperatures will become too cool to support convection and a
stratiform rain event will unfold this evening and overnight. Rainfall
rates of 0.05-0.20" in 1 hour will be common with isolated higher
rates. The snow level will start out above 9,000ft but will lower to
around 8,000ft by Wednesday morning and "wet" snow cannot be ruled out
down to around 7,500ft briefly.
-
Rain shower or snow shower activity pending elevation on Wednesday
will be on the decrease Wednesday morning with the majority of the
precipitation expected to have ended by noon. Additional showers and
possibly an isolated weak thunderstorm is possible later Wednesday
afternoon and evening but coverage will be spotty. Total moisture in
the form or rain or melted snow equivalent until noon Wednesday will
range from 0.4-1.2" with isolated higher and lower amounts. W and N
areas of the District look to be favored for the higher end of the
range.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rain showers will produce a
trace to 0.3" in 30-60 minutes. Weak to moderate thunderstorms this
afternoon and evening if they develop will have the potential to
produce 0.1-0.4" in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A moderate to briefly strong thunderstorm is able
to develop this afternoon with the potential to produce rainfall rates
of 0.2-0.6" in 10-30 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: Rain/snow pending elevation will decrease through
Wednesday morning leading to a generally dry afternoon absent a very
isolated rain shower or weak thunderstorm ahead of sunset. Highs
Wednesday may remain in the 50's over the plains possibly touching the
60's briefly if enough sunshine breaks out. Thursday is trending
generally dry with highs working their way back into the lower 70's
with possibly an isolated afternoon thunderstorm over the higher
terrain.

ISOLATED AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FAVORING THE HIGHER
TERRAIN
-
Scattered showers moved across the District earlier this morning,
producing sprinkles to 0.05" of precipitation before 9:00 AM but these
weak showers have since moved eastward. Additional rain showers and
possibly an isolated thunderstorm later today will favor the higher
terrain with the I-25 corridor trending on the drier side although an
isolated rain shower or thunderstorm cannot be completely ruled out.
-
An upper level disturbance to the N in WY will produce a slight
chance for isolated showers and thunderstorms this afternoon, favoring
the west and south areas of the District as down-sloping winds will
lower the chances over the plains. Temperatures will trend below
seasonal averages with highs in the upper 60's to around 70 over the
plains under mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies.
-
Any shower or weak thunderstorm activity that develops today is
expected to end by sundown with skies clearing overnight and generally
dry conditions.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Light rain showers with the
occasional rumble of thunder may produce a TR-0.2" of rainfall in
30-60 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: An upper-level disturbance will create a cool and rainy
start to the week ahead of a more typical spring pattern before the
weekend. Tomorrow will be mostly to partly sunny with high
temperatures in the mid 60's. A mild cool front will sweep across the
plains Tuesday afternoon followed by widespread showers. Light rain
with the occasional rumble of thunder is expected to persist overnight
and into Wednesday. High temperatures are expected to reach the low
60's by Wednesday afternoon followed by a slight chance for
thunderstorms through Wednesday evening. A warming trend begins on
Thursday with clear sunny skies and high temperatures reaching the mid
70's.

MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FAVORING AREAS NORTH
-
Upper level disturbance moving overhead today will produce multiple
rounds of showers and thunderstorms over the District into the
evening. The first round of storms will act to increase surface
moisture leading to better chances for brief moderate and heavy
rainfall with subsequent rounds of storms later this afternoon and
evening.
-
Moderate to strong thunderstorms will have the potential for brief
heavy rainfall. The strongest storms will most likely be hail
producers with relatively low freezing levels and storms will be fast
moving from SW to NE at 15-25mph helping to reduce point rainfall
amounts.
-
2-4 rounds of showers and thunderstorms are expected to move through
into the evening with prime time for storms from noon today to 2am
Monday.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rain showers and weak
thunderstorms will produce a 0.1-0.3" of rainfall in 10-30 minutes.
Moderate to strong thunderstorms will have the potential to produce
rainfall rates of 0.3-0.8" in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: Training of thunderstorm cells or a slower moving
strong thunderstorm may result in up to 1.5" of rainfall in 45-75
minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: A decrease in overall shower and thunderstorm activity
is expected on Monday but there will be a few afternoon and evening
showers/thunderstorms with cooler temperatures in the 60's.
Thunderstorms Tuesday afternoon and evening will turn into a soaking
rainfall overnight with some snow for the Front Range foothills into
Wednesday morning.

-------------------------
COOLER TODAY WITH A GOOD CHANCE FOR AFTERNOON/EVENING RAIN
SHOWERS/ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
-
An unsettled weather pattern is expected for the District over the
next few days. A cold front moved through the region effectively
dropping today's high temperatures back into the mid to upper 70's
across the plains. A good chance for rain showers/isolated
thunderstorms around midday, through the afternoon and evening with a
slight chance for an overnight round of rain showers/isolated
thunderstorms into Memorial Day.
-
Relatively mild conditions to start the day before rain chances pick
up late this morning with the first round of showers for the District
likely around midday with multiple rounds of rain showers/isolated
thunderstorms through the afternoon and evening possible. Best chance
for rain showers/isolated thunderstorms in the District will be from
noon through midnight. Storm motions will initially be from W to E
between 10-15mph, helping limit point rainfall amounts, however as the
day progresses, storm motions expected to be slower with some erratic
movement possible this afternoon and evening due to storms forming
along outflow boundaries. Precipitation today is expected to remain
light to moderate, although slower/erratic storm movements will have
the potential for moderate to brief heavy rain.
-
A chance for rain showers remain through the overnight as the
unsettled weather pattern holds over the region. A few lightning
strikes cannot be completely ruled out through the overnight, although
with lows dropping into the upper 40's to low 50's only rain shower
chances will be likely into daybreak Monday.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rain showers/isolated
thunderstorms will produce a trace to 0.2" of rainfall in 10-30
minutes. Weak to moderate thunderstorms will have the potential to
produce rainfall rates of 0.2-0.4" in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: Stronger thunderstorms, or slow moving/anchored
rain showers/thunderstorms off outflow boundaries are able to develop
with the potential for moderate to brief heavy rainfall of 0.4-0.9" in
30-60 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: This weather pattern is expected to hold over the region
over the next few days leading to rain showers/isolated thunderstorm
chances through Wednesday. Cooler temperatures tomorrow should help
limit the potential for strong storm development, however, an increase
in upper-level moisture will keep the threat for rain showers high,
with a low threat of moderate to brief heavy rainfall both Monday and
Tuesday.

ANOTHER HOT, BREEZY DAY WITH PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES
-
Another day with well above average high temperatures for the
District as we once again flirt with 90°F this afternoon under partly
cloudy skies.
-
Winds are calm currently before picking up this afternoon ahead of a
changing weather pattern with gusts up to 30mph from the SW. RH values
will hover around 10% this afternoon, effectively solidifying dry
conditions across the District throughout the day and into the
evening.
-
Overnight lows will dip into the the 50's on the plains with upper
40's along the foothills. Winds will calm before sunset with mild
conditions expected through the overnight and into daybreak Sunday.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No precipitation is expected
today or this evening.
A LOOK AHEAD: A shift in the weather pattern heading into Sunday as a
cold front moves through resulting in much more seasonable high
temperatures in the 70's. Surface moisture increases tomorrow behind
the cold front bringing a good chance for scattered rain
showers/thunderstorms in the afternoon with a slight chance for some
isolated moderate to heavy rainfall at times. A second cold front will
move through the region overnight Sunday and into Monday, dropping
Monday's high temperatures down into the 60's with a continued chance
for scattered rain showers/thunderstorms throughout the day with
another slight chance for moderate to brief heavy rainfall during the
afternoon and early evening.

HOT TODAY WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR HIGH-BASED AFTERNOON RAIN
SHOWERS/ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
-
High-pressure will dominate over the region today leading to well
above average temperatures as highs top out around 90°F this
afternoon. The record for today at DIA is 93°F set in 2006.
-
A very slight chance this afternoon for a round or two of high-based
rain showers/isolated thunderstorms. Best chance for storm activity
will be from 2pm through 6pm. Minimal precipitation is expected as
most rainfall will struggle to reach the surface, leading to an
increase chance for gusty winds this afternoon rather than any
meaningful rainfall. Any thunderstorm activity will likely remain
along the higher terrain in the foothills and possible along the
Palmer Divide, however a strike or two cannot be completely ruled out
over the District.
-
Skies gradually clear this evening bringing mild conditions through
the overnight and into Saturday morning. Overnight lows will drop into
the 50's on the plains with upper 40's along the foothills.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical high-based rain
showers/isolated thunderstorms will produce a trace to 0.1" of
rainfall in 10-30 minutes. A weak to moderate thunderstorms will have
the potential to produce rainfall rates of 0.1-0.3" in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A moderate to strong thunderstorm is able to
develop with the potential for moderate to brief heavy rainfall of
0.3-0.8" in 30-60 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: High-pressure holds through tomorrow leading to another
hot day with highs expected to once again reach around 90°F in the
afternoon. Dry conditions are expected throughout the day tomorrow.
Sunday starts off mild and dry before a disturbance starts to move
through the region late Sunday evening and into Memorial Day. This
disturbance will bring a round of unsettled weather with scattered
rain showers/isolated thunderstorms Monday, with a better chance for
rain/thunderstorms for the region on Tuesday.

WARM, SUNNY AND DRY TODAY
-
High-pressure starts to build over the region today leading to
mostly sunny skies with dry conditions expected throughout the day and
evening.
-
High temperatures are expected to be above the seasonal mid 70's
with upper 70's to low 80's across the District this afternoon. Winds
today will be light from the NE between 5-10mph resulting in mild
conditions.
-
Overnight lows will drop into the upper 40's to low 50's on the
plains with low to mid 40's along the foothills.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No precipitation is expected
today or this evening.
A LOOK AHEAD: Even warmer tomorrow as high-pressure continues to build
bringing high temperatures close or at 90°F tomorrow afternoon. A
very slight chance for a few scattered high-based rain
showers/isolated thunderstorms tomorrow afternoon and early evening,
however, most if not all precipitation will struggle to reach the
surface leading to a better chance for increased breezy afternoon and
early evening winds. High-pressure holds Saturday as well as high
temperatures in the mid to upper 80's with dry conditions likely
throughout the day.

SUNSHINE RETURNS TO THE DISTRICT WITH WARMER TEMPERATURES AND DRY
CONDITIONS
-
The trough of low pressure responsible for the cool and unsettled
weather for the past 5 days has moved eastward with warmer and drier
conditions spreading over the District today under sunny to mostly
sunny skies.
-
Temperatures will climb into the upper 60's to lower 70's over the
plains with 50's and 60's in the Front Range foothills which is
slightly below normal for this time of year. Normal high for Denver
today is 75 degrees.
-
Winds will become a little breezy at times this afternoon varying
from W to NW/N at 5-15mph and gusts to 20mph or more. Winds weaken
this evening with dry conditions for the overnight period.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No precipitation expected today
and tonight.
A LOOK AHEAD: Temperatures will warm into the 80's over the plains on
Thursday under sunny to mostly sunny skies and light winds making for
pleasant outdoor conditions. Temperatures continue to climb into
Friday with some areas over the plains reaching the 90 degree mark. A
weak disturbance will pass overhead late Friday afternoon/evening and
may generate a few isolated, high-based showers and weak thunderstorms
which will produce more wind than rainfall.

CLOUDY/COOL AND SHOWERY OVER THE DISTRICT TODAY
-
Low pressure system passing to the south will result in cool and
cloudy conditions over the District today with periods of rain
showers. Highs this afternoon will only warm into the 50's over the
plains with 40's in the Front Range foothills. Isolated light rain
showers or sprinkles will be possible this morning producing minimal
accumulation.
-
Additional rain showers and even some snow for the higher elevations
is expected to develop this afternoon over the foothills with chances
for more meaningful rain showers increasing over the plains between
2-4pm. Chances for showers later today will favor areas along and W of
I-25 and in particular areas in and near the foothills. Prime time for
shower activity over the plains is from 3 or 4pm until 10pm with
conditions expected to be drying out by midnight.
-
The US Army Corps of Engineers will be performing the Cherry Creek
flushing exercise today from 9:00 AM to 1:10 PM. Flows will be high at
times along Cherry Creek through Denver into the evening. Additional
rain shower activity today is not expected to produce much runoff in
the Cherry Creek drainage as a whole as the more meaningful
precipitation is expected to remain along and W of I-25. A Cherry
Creek Trail Flood Advisory will be issued prior to the release as
flows may inundate the bike path at times along Cherry Creek.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Light rain showers will produce
a trace to 0.10" in 30-60 minutes. Moderate rain showers will produce
0.1-0.4" of rain in 30-60 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A weak to moderate thunderstorm is able to
develop with the potential to produce 0.2-0.6" of moderate rain in
10-30 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: After a cool start on Wednesday abundant sunshine will
allow temperatures to warm into the upper 60's to lower 70's over the
plains during the afternoon. Completely dry conditions are expected
District wide. Another warm and dry day in store for Thursday with
highs reaching the 80's over the plains under sunny to mostly sunny
skies.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
RAIN SHOWERS TO CONTINUE LIKELY OVERNIGHT FAVORING S AND W AREAS OF
THE DISTRICT
-
Low pressure system emerging onto the plains of SE CO will result in
rain shower activity this evening and overnight favoring W and S areas
of the District with lesser coverage over N and E areas. The foothills
above 7,500ft will experience a mix of rain and snow or all snow above
8,000ft over Boulder, Jefferson and Douglas Counties. Any snow
accumulations will be minimal N of I-70 with minor accumulations over
the SW foothills.
-
Rain showers will be light to briefly moderate in nature with widely
scattered coverage through the remainder of the evening and overnight
period. Cloudy and cool into Tuesday morning with additional rain
showers likely ending before 10am areas N and by noon areas S. Minimal
precipitation is expected Tuesday afternoon and evening but a few rain
showers and possibly a weak thunderstorm cannot be ruled out
especially over the foothills.
-
US Army Corps of Engineers will be performing their annual Cherry
Creek flushing exercise tomorrow which will have impacts on Cherry
Creek through Denver. The exercise will begin at 9:00am and conclude
at 1:15pm. Flows will continue to potentially impact Cherry Creek
flowing below Chery Creek Dam well into Tuesday evening. The South
Platte River is expected to easily handle increased flows from Cherry
Creek. A Cherry Creek Trail Flood Advisory will be issued for Denver
County tomorrow morning to account for this flushing exercise.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rain showers will produce a
trace to 0.20" in 30-60 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A weak thunderstorm is able to develop with the
potential to produce 0.1-0.3" in 10-30 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: Cloudy, cool and damp to start the day on Tuesday but
conditions will be improving as the morning progresses. Tuesday
afternoon any additional showers will favor the higher terrain to the
W and S of the District generally dry conditions for the afternoon and
evening.
