MESSAGE 1'S HAVE TRANSITIONED TO MESSAGE 2'S FOR BOULDER AND DOUGLAS
COUNTIES/MESSAGE 1'S IN EFFECT FOR REMAINDER OF DISTRICT
-
Message 1's have transitioned to Message 2's (NWS Flood/Flash Flood
Watch) at 3:00 PM for Boulder and Douglas Counties and will be valid
until 10:00 PM. Message 1's remain in effect for the remainder of the
District and will also be valid until 10:00 PM. Message 1's and 2's
may be extended until midnight if a flooding threat remains.
-
Thunderstorms are beginning to fill in over the area at this time
with a SW to NE oriented line grazing SE portions of the District over
Arapahoe and Douglas Counties. Additional storms lurk west. Scattered
to numerous thunderstorms are expected through the remainder of the
afternoon and into the early evening. Prime time for moderate to
strong thunderstorms will until 9:00 PM.
-
Thunderstorms will be efficient rainfall producers very capable of
producing heavy downpours that may lead to excessive runoff and
possibly flash flooding.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Weak thunderstorms will produce
0.3-0.8" in 10-30 minutes. Moderate to strong thunderstorms will have
the potential to produce rainfall rates of 0.8-2.0 in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A large thunderstorm complex or a slower moving
large thunderstorm may result in rainfall rates of 1.0-2.5" in 10-30
minutes and up to 3.5" in 45-75 minutes.

Internal Message Status
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
MESSAGE 1'S ISSUED FOR THE ENTIRE DISTRICT/BOULDER AND DOUGLAS
COUNTIES TRANSITION TO MESSAGE 2'S AT 3:00PM
-
Message 1's have been issued for the entire District and will be
valid until 10:00 PM for all Counties except Boulder and Douglas as
they transition to Message 2's. The NWS in Boulder has issued a Flash
Flood Watch for the higher terrain of Boulder County above 6,000ft
from 3:00 PM until Midnight. The NWS has also issued a Flood Watch for
the E 2/3's of Douglas County above 6,000ft from 3:00 PM until
Midnight and implies flash flooding, thus Message 2's will supersede
the Message 1's for Boulder and Douglas Counties and will go into
effect at 3:00 PM. The Message 2's from the MHFD will be valid until
10:00 PM to match the Message 1's end time as the Watches are expected
to be cancelled early as the stronger storms are likely well east of
the I-25 corridor by that time. Message 1's and 2's may be extended
until midnight if a flooding threat remains. Although NWS Flood/Flash
Flood Watches are not in effect for the remainder of the District the
flood threat is elevated area wide.
-
Thunderstorms will begin to initiate over the next 1-2 hours over
the higher terrain to the W and S of the District. Upper level
steering winds from W to E or WSW to ENE at 15-20mph will push the
storms onto the plains into the early afternoon. Prime time for
moderate to strong thunderstorms will be from 2:00 PM to 9:00 PM. 1-3
rounds of storms are expected through the afternoon into the early
evening. Large thunderstorms or briefly anchored thunderstorms will
pose the greatest threat for extended periods of heavy rainfall. The
first or second round of storms will likely be the strongest of the
day.
-
Moderate to strong thunderstorms that develop today will be
efficient rainfall producers as moisture levels are very high for
Colorado standards. Even moderate thunderstorms will have the
potential to produce heavy rainfall and strong thunderstorms will be
very capable of producing heavy downpours that may lead to excessive
runoff and possibly flash flooding.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Weak thunderstorms will produce
0.3-0.8" in 10-30 minutes. Moderate to strong thunderstorms will have
the potential to produce rainfall rates of 0.8-2.0 in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A large thunderstorm complex or a slower moving
large thunderstorm may result in rainfall rates of 1.0-2.5" in 10-30
minutes and up to 3.5" of heavy rain in 45-75 minutes.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF HEAVY RAINFALL PRODUCING THUNDERSTORMS/EXCESSIVE
RUNOFF LIKELY
-
All the ingredients are in place today for multiple rounds of heavy
rainfall producing thunderstorms. The NWS has issued a Flash Flood
Watch for Boulder County above 6,000ft as well as a Flood Watch for
the E 2/3's of Douglas County above 6,000ft. The Flood Watch will be
treated as a Flash Flood Watch as it implies flash flooding resulting
in Message 2's being issued for Boulder and Douglas Counties from 3pm
to midnight to sync with the NWS. Message 1's will be issued for all
Counties prior to 3pm and then the Message 1's will transition to
Message 2's for Boulder and Douglas Counties. The Message 2's may be
cancelled by the NWS prior to midnight and the current thinking is
that this may occur around 9 or 10pm.
-
Thunderstorms will first initiate over the mountains and foothills W
of the District between 11am and noon. Upper level steering winds from
W to E at 15-20mph will push the storms eastward onto the plains
between noon and 1 or 2pm. Prime time for wetting rain showers and
moderate to strong thunderstorms will be from 1pm to 10pm. Multiple
rounds (2-3) of storms are expected through the afternoon into the
early evening.
-
Moderate to strong thunderstorms that develop today will be
efficient rainfall producers as moisture levels are very high for
Colorado standards. Even moderate thunderstorms will have the
potential to produce heavy rainfall and strong thunderstorms will be
very capable of producing heavy downpours that may lead to excessive
runoff and flash flooding.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Weak thunderstorms will produce
0.3-0.8" in 10-30 minutes. Moderate to strong thunderstorms will have
the potential to produce 0.8-2.0 in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A large thunderstorm complex or a slower moving
large thunderstorm may result in rainfall rates of 1.0-2.5" in 10-30
minutes and up to 3.5" in 45-75 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: Drier air will filter in from the NW on Monday pushing
the best chances for strong thunderstorms to the S and E of the
District. There will still be ample moisture in place at the surface
to fuel storms but the coverage will be isolated favoring the Palmer
Divide and eastern plains with a lower flood threat overall.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
RELIEF FROM THE HEAT THIS AFTERNOON AS MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF STORMS TO
MOVE THROUGH
-
The streak of 90-degree plus days will continue for one more day
with highs warming well into the 90's over the plains ahead of shower
and thunderstorm development this afternoon which will provide relief
from the heat.
-
Thunderstorms will begin to develop over the mountains and foothills
ahead of noon and then spread out onto the plains between noon-1pm.
1-3 rounds of showers and thunderstorms are expected between 1-9pm
with lingering rain showers possible until about midnight. Moisture
will be on the increase as the day progresses resulting in stronger
storms capable of producing brief heavy rainfall. More typical storms
will produce light to moderate rain and gusty winds.
-
Upper level steering winds will be from W to E at 15-20mph keeping
the majority of the storms moving along and helping to reduce point
rainfall amounts from a single storm. Training of thunderstorm cells
or a briefly anchored thunderstorm will be the main culprits for
extended periods of heavy rainfall resulting in a LOW to MODERATE risk
for excessive runoff.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rain showers and weak
thunderstorms will produce a trace to 0.3" of moisture. 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 briefly
anchored strong thunderstorm may result in up to 1.5" of heavy rain in
45-60 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: Temperatures will back off into the 80's for highs on
Sunday and moisture will increase further leading to an active
thunderstorm day. Scattered to numerous thunderstorms are expected in
the afternoon, some of which may become strong to severe and will be
very capable of producing heavy rainfall that may lead to excessive
runoff and possibly flash flooding.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
HOT AND GENERALLY DRY
-
Temperatures will tack on another degree or two today with afternoon
highs topping out in the upper 90's to lower 100's over the plains.
The record high for Denver today is 102 degrees.
-
Much like yesterday moisture is minimal with dew points lowering
into the 30's resulting in a build up of clouds this afternoon and
isolated high-based thunderstorms favoring the foothills and adjacent
plains W of I-25. Storms that develop today will generally produce
gusty winds and sprinkles over the plains with better chances for
measurable rain in the foothills. Many areas will trend completely dry
today.
-
Best chances for isolated thunderstorm coverage will be between
2-8pm. As sunset approaches any shower and thunderstorm activity will
diminish with dry conditions for the later evening and overnight
period.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rain showers and weak
thunderstorms will produce a trace to 0.2" of rain.
A LOOK AHEAD: Remaining HOT on Saturday but moisture will begin to
increase leading to a more active thunderstorm day. Widely scattered
afternoon thunderstorms will be weak to moderate in nature with some
storms producing measurable rain and providing some relief from the
heat. A cold front will move through overnight Saturday cooling
temperatures into the 80's on Sunday and increasing surface moisture
leading to stronger thunderstorms with the potential to produce brief
heavy rainfall.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
CONTINUED HOT WITH A DECREASE IN THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY
-
The streak of 90-degree plus days will continue over the plains with
a decrease in thunderstorm activity today. Highs this afternoon will
be 1-3 degrees warmer than yesterday with highs in the mid 90's to
around 100 degrees over the plains.
-
Moisture will decrease leading to a down-tick in thunderstorm
activity today. Isolated afternoon thunderstorms remain possible but
with less moisture to work with the storms that develop will be
high-based producing mainly light rainfall and gusty winds. Many areas
of the District likely end up on the drier side today.
-
Best chances for thunderstorms today will be over the foothills and
Palmer Divide between 2-8pm. After 8pm dry conditions are expected for
the remainder of the evening and overnight period.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rain showers and weak to
briefly moderate thunderstorms will produce rainfall amounts of a
trace to 0.2".
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A stronger thunderstorm is able to develop with
the potential to produce rainfall rates of 0.2-0.5" in 10-30 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: We will tack on a few degrees to high temperatures on
Friday with readings in the 90's to lower 100's over the plains. Much
like today the thunderstorm activity will favor the higher terrain
with minimal coverage over the plains and many areas likely dry.
Better chances for thunderstorms on Saturday with temperatures backing
off a few degrees due to increased cloud cover. On Sunday an upper
level disturbance and cold front will lower temperatures into the 80's
and increase moisture leading to stronger thunderstorms with the
potential to produce heavy rainfall.

MESSAGE 1'S WILL BE ALLOWED TO EXPIRE AT 8PM
-
Message 1's will be allowed to expire at 8:00pm as the threat for
heavy rainfall has ended for the day.
-
An outflow boundary from storms that originated to the S of the
Palmer Divide early in the afternoon moved northward and intensified
thunderstorms over the District producing areas of moderate and brief
heavy rainfall. The thunderstorm activity has diminished over the past
hour and a more stable air mass is currently in place and
thunderstorms are no longer expected.
-
Isolated light rain showers will continue possible into the evening
hours with dry conditions expected well ahead of midnight. Best
chances for additional shower activity will be in and near the
foothills.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Isolated rain showers and
possibly a weak thunderstorm will produce a trace to 0.2" of rain.

-------------------------
Internal Message Status
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
MESSAGE 1'S ISSUED FOR THE ENTIRE DISTRICT
-
Message 1's have been issued for the entire District and will be
valid until 8:00pm this evening.
-
An outflow boundary from storms to the S of the District is
progressing northward through the District at this time and may act to
energize and slow down or briefly anchor storms that are moving into
the District from the NW. Stronger thunderstorms will have the
potential to produce brief heavy rainfall that may lead to excessive
runoff roadways.
-
Typical thunderstorms will move form WNW to ESE at 15-20mph. 1-2
rounds of thunderstorms is expected through 7 or 8pm. After 8pm the
stronger storms are expected to have moved east of the District.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rain showers and weak
thunderstorms will produce a trace to 0.2" of moisture. Moderate
thunderstorms will have the potential to produce rainfall rates of
0.4-1.0" in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A slower moving thunderstorm or briefly anchored
thunderstorm will have the potential to produce up to 1.4" of heavy
rain in 45-60 minutes.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
SCATTERED AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
-
Flow aloft will be westerly this morning, becoming northwesterly by
the afternoon. Hot temperatures in the mid to upper 90's are expected
again today, with dew points in the 40's to around 50 degrees.
Forecast soundings indicate CAPE values will be around 500 J/kg today
leading to scattered, moderate to briefly strong thunderstorms similar
to yesterday.
-
Storms will begin developing over the foothills around noon and are
expected to move east-southeast across the District at 15-20mph. Prime
time for storms today is from 1pm to 8pm. Typical thunderstorm
activity will produce minimal precipitation between a trace to 0.2" of
rainfall, with a low chance for moderate to heavy rainfall of
0.2"-0.6" in 10-30 minutes from moderate to strong thunderstorms.
-
Skies will gradually clear this evening with mild and dry conditions
expected through the overnight and into Thursday. Overnight lows will
dip into the low to mid 60's on the plains with low to mid 50's along
the foothills.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rain showers and weak
thunderstorms will produce a trace to 0.2" of moisture. Moderate
thunderstorms will have the potential to produce rainfall rates of
0.2-0.6" in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: Thunderstorms anchoring to the foothills or
surface boundary will have the potential to produce moderate to
briefly heavy rainfall of 0.4-0.8" in 10-30 minutes and up to 1.2" in
45-60 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: Hot conditions with afternoon showers and thunderstorms
will continue this week as a heat dome remains parked over the
four-corners region. Similar conditions are expected Thursday and
Friday as high temperatures remain in the mid to upper 90's, possibly
reaching 100 degrees in some areas, with afternoon showers and
thunderstorms. This pattern is expected to continue through the
weekend.
