Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
ANOTHER ROUND OF ISOLATED AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
-
Flow aloft will be westerly this morning, becoming northwesterly by
the afternoon. Very hot temperatures in the mid to upper 90's are
expected again today, with dew points in the upper 40's to low 50's.
These conditions will favor isolated showers across the District.
Thunderstorm activity will produce minimal precipitation, with a very
low chance for moderate to heavy rainfall.
-
Storms will begin developing over the foothills around noon and are
expected to move east across the District. Prime time for storms today
is from 12pm to 8pm. Typical thunderstorms will produce light to
briefly moderate rainfall, mostly favoring areas in and around the
foothills.
-
Skies will gradually clear this evening with mild and dry conditions
expected through the overnight and into Wednesday. 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
0.2-0.5" in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: Thunderstorms anchoring to the foothills or
outflow boundary will have the potential to produce moderate to
briefly heavy rainfall of 0.4-0.8" in 10-30 minutes and up to 1.5" 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 Wednesday and
Thursday as high temperatures remain in the 90's with a round of
afternoon showers and thunderstorms. This pattern is expected to
continue through the remainder of this week and into the weekend.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
HOT TODAY WITH A CHANCE FOR ISOLATED AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS
-
Flow aloft will be westerly throughout the day, creating conditions
for isolated showers across the District. Very hot, record-breaking
conditions are expected today. Temperatures will climb to triple
digits across much of the District with dew points in the mid to upper
40's. Isolated showers and thunderstorms will produce minimal
precipitation, with a very low chance for moderate to heavy rainfall.
-
Storms will begin developing over the foothills before 2pm and are
expected to move east-northeast across the District. Prime time for
storms today is from 2pm to 8pm. Typical thunderstorms will produce
light to briefly moderate rainfall, mostly favoring areas in and
around the foothills.
-
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
0.2-0.5" in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: Anchoring thunderstorms will have the potential
to produce moderate to briefly heavy rainfall of 0.4-0.8" in 10-30
minutes and up to 1.5" 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 Tuesday and
Wednesday as high temperatures remain in the 90's with isolated to
scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms. This pattern is
expected to continue through the remainder of this week and into the
weekend.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
HOT TEMPERATURES WITH DRY AND SUNNY CONDITIONS
-
A heat dome remains parked over the four-corners region, creating
very hot and dry conditions across the District today.
-
Highs will be in the mid to upper 90's with dew points in the upper
teens to low 20's. The foothills will be a bit cooler as highs reach
the low 80's. Skies will be clear and sunny.
-
Overnight lows will drop to around 70 degrees with dew points in the
upper 40's. Skies will remain clear through tomorrow morning.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No precipitation is expected
today or tonight.
A LOOK AHEAD: Strong ridging and very hot conditions will continue
across the Desert Southwest through the remainder of this week and
into the weekend. The record high of 99 degrees for June 18th was set
in 2020 and will likely be broken tomorrow as temperatures soar into
the upper 90's to low 100's followed by brief afternoon showers and
thunderstorms. On Tuesday, high temperatures will be in the mid to
upper 90's with another round of afternoon showers and thunderstorms.

Internal Message Status
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
MESSAGE 1'S ISSUED FOR THE ENTIRE DISTRICT VALID UNTIL 9:00 PM
-
Message 1's have been issued and will be valid until 9:00pm this
evening.
-
A few weak rain showers/isolated thunderstorms have impacted the
District and will continue to move eastward at this time. A stronger
line of storms to the W/NW is currently moving towards the District
and will have the best chance at producing moderate to heavy rainfall
as it moves through the District. Slow moving or stationary
thunderstorm that develop along any gust fronts may move very slowly
or remain stationary having the potential for heavy rainfall. Strong
thunderstorms may also contain gusty winds, hail and frequent
cloud-to-ground lightning.
-
Prime time for storms in the District will be between 3-8pm with one
or two rounds of thunderstorms possible. Upper-level winds should
carry most storms from W to E between 10-15mph, however, gust fronts
could anchor storms or cause erratic motions at times.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rain showers and weak
thunderstorms will produce 0.1-0.4" in 10-30 minutes. Moderate to
strong thunderstorms will have the potential to produce rainfall rates
of 0.4-1.0" in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A nearly stationary strong thunderstorm may
result in up to 1.8" of rain in 60-90 minutes.

-------------------------
ANOTHER HOT DAY WITH SCATTERED AFTERNOON RAIN SHOWERS/ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS
-
SW flow aloft will turn more W/NW today effectively keeping high
temperatures in the low to mid 90's this afternoon. Fairly similar
conditions to yesterday with a chance for afternoon and early evening
scattered rain showers/isolated thunderstorms. There will be a good
chance showers stay minimal, however with elevated dew points
currently in the upper 50's to around 60 degrees, a moderate chance
for brief heavy rainfall will remain, with increased chances if
low-level moisture does not mix out efficiently through the rest of
the morning.
-
Initial storm development along the higher terrain will likely begin
between 12 and 2pm with the best chance for rain showers/isolated
thunderstorms in the District between 2-8pm this evening. Typical
thunderstorms today will produce light to brief moderate rain and
gusty winds. Storm motions will move between 10-15mph from the WNW to
ESE, however a gust front, or outflow boundary has the potential to
produce storms that anchor in place for an extended period of time.
Storms are expected to strengthen E of the I-25 corridor possibly
becoming strong over the plains, although the better chances for
strong storms today should remain east of the District boundaries.
-
Skies will gradually clear this evening with mild and dry conditions
expected through the overnight and into Sunday. Overnight lows will
dip into the mid to upper 60's on the plains with low to mid 60's
along the foothills.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical 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
0.2-0.4" in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: Strong thunderstorms are able to develop, or
training of moderate to strong thunderstorms will have the potential
to produce heavy rainfall of 0.4-1.0" in 10-30 minutes and up to 1.5"
in 45-60 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: The heat returns Sunday as high-pressure starts to build
with highs flirting with 100 degrees under mostly sunny skies. Monday
will stay hot, once again with highs reaching triple digits. A slight
chance Monday afternoon for a round of high-based rain
showers/isolated thunderstorms, although precipitation should remain
minimal at this time. Similar conditions Tuesday, although slightly
cooler with highs in the 90's with another chance for afternoon
high-based rain showers/isolated thunderstorms.

MESSAGES CONTINUE VALID UNTIL 9:00 PM
-
The Message 2 for Boulder County will remain in effect until 9:00
PM. Message 1's for all other Counties within the District will also
remain valid until 9:00 PM.
-
Thunderstorms have initiated in and near the District with prime
time through 8:00 PM. Typical storms are producing light to briefly
moderate rain as the District has yet to experience a stronger storm.
If the trend holds storms will continue to be weak to moderate in
nature for most areas, however a strong thunderstorm cannot be ruled
out which will be capable of producing heavy rainfall that may lead to
excessive runoff.
-
Upper level steering winds are from SW to NE at around 15mph. One
round of storms E of I-25 will clear the District in the next 60-90
minutes with another wave approaching from the SW keeping chances for
storms into the evening.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: More typical weak to moderate
thunderstorms will produce rainfall rates of 0.1-0.5" in 10-30
minutes. Strong thunderstorms will will have the potential to produce
rainfall rates of 0.5-1.5" in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A large thunderstorm complex or a nearly
stationary strong thunderstorm cell may result in up to 2.5" of rain
in 60-90 minutes.

Internal Message Status
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
MESSAGE 2 ISSUED FOR BOULDER COUNTY/MESSAGE 1'S ISSUED FOR ALL OTHER
COUNTIES
-
The National Weather Service in Boulder has issued a Flash Flood
Watch for the higher terrain of Boulder County above 6,000ft from 11am
until 9pm this evening. The Flash Flood Watch is primarily issued for
the Calwood burn area of Boulder County. Although the flood threat is
lower outside the Calwood burn area the Message 2 will cover areas
within the MHFD as a portion of the District is included in the NWS
zone. Message 1's will go into effect at noon for all other Counties
within the District.
-
Thunderstorms will begin to initiate over the higher terrain between
noon and 2pm. Upper level steering winds from SW to NE at 10-15mph
will push the storm activity onto the plains during the early
afternoon. Prime time for thunderstorms is between 1-8pm. Relatively
slow storm motions and ample moisture to fuel thunderstorms will
result in stronger storms capable of producing heavy rainfall that may
lead to excessive runoff and possibly flash flooding.
-
The main culprit for extended periods of heavy rainfall today will
be storms that are able to anchor or move more slowly. Training of
thunderstorm cells is less likely but cannot be ruled out over the
foothills. East of I-25 stronger storms may become severe with large
hail and gusty winds being the primary threats as well as heavy
rainfall.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Moderate to strong
thunderstorms will have the potential to produce rainfall rates of
0.5-1.5" in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A large thunderstorm complex or a nearly
stationary strong thunderstorm cell may result in up to 2.5" of rain
in 60-90 minutes.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
THUNDERSTORMS WITH THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE HEAVY RAINFALL THIS
AFTERNOON/EVENING
-
Temperatures will back off today but remain on the warm side with
highs reaching the low to mid 90's over the plains ahead of cloud
cover and storm activity. Subtropical monsoon moisture will stream
overhead and with ample surface moisture there will be a good chance
for afternoon and early evening rain showers and thunderstorms. Some
storms may become strong with the potential to produce heavy rainfall
that may lead to excessive runoff and possibly flash flooding.
-
Initial storm development along the higher terrain will likely begin
by around noon with the best chance for rain showers/thunderstorms
over the plains between 1-9pm. Storm motions will be from W to E
between 10-15mph, however a gust front, or outflow boundary has the
potential to initiate storms that anchor in place for an extended
period of time or move more slowly. Storms are expected to strengthen
along and E of the I-25 corridor possibly becoming severe over the
plains.
-
NWS Flash Flood Watch is in effect for Boulder County above 6,000ft
from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM to account for the Calwood Burn area just
north of the District. Locations outside of recent burn areas,
including the Four Mile burn area the flash flood threat will be
lower. The MHFD will issue a Message 2 Boulder County to sync with the
NWS time frame. Message 1's will be issued for the remaining Counties
but will become valid at noon or 1pm just ahead of storm development.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical rain showers and weak
thunderstorms will produce a trace to 0.5" of moisture in 30-60
minutes. Moderate to strong thunderstorms will have the potential to
produce rainfall rates of 0.5-1.5" in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A large thunderstorm complex or a nearly
stationary strong thunderstorm may result in up to 2.5" of rain in
45-75 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: Cooler tomorrow with a continued chance for afternoon
and early evening rain showers/isolated thunderstorms. The upper-level
pattern will shift from SW to NW which will add more variability for
storm development, however a low threat for moderate to brief heavy
rain will likely remain. Sunday starts to warm up significantly with
highs reaching around 100 degrees along with generally dry conditions.
Similar conditions Monday with hot temperatures and a very slight
chance for scattered high-based afternoon/eve rain showers/isolated
thunderstorms.
