Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
RAIN SHOWWERS CONTINUE POSSIBLE INTO THE EVENING, HEAVY RAINFALL
THREAT INCREASING FRIDAY
-
Widely scattered rain showers with an occasional rumble of thunder
have been persistent over NE areas of the District in Adams County and
the DIA area and will continue at least another hour or two into the
evening. Another area of shower activity to the west will move into
the District and keep chances for light rain into the overnight period
for remaining areas.
-
With temperatures cooling off precipitation will favor light rain
showers but a weak thunderstorm cannot be ruled out. Heavy rainfall is
not expected but a weak thunderstorm will be capable of producing
brief moderate rain. Best chances for showers will be through
midnight, then generally dry conditions are expected into Friday
morning.
-
Thunderstorm chances will increase on Friday as a plume of monsoon
moisture moves overhead. Strong, slow moving thunderstorms on Friday
will be capable of producing heavy rainfall that may lead to excessive
runoff and possibly flash flooding.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rain showers and possibly a
weak thunderstorm will produce a trace to 0.3" in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A moderate to strong thunderstorm is able to
develop in a cooling air mass with the potential to produce 0.3-0.9"
of heavy rain in 10-30 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: NWS has issued a Flash Flood Watch for Boulder County
above 6,000ft which will be effective from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM Friday.
The MHFD will issue a Message 2 for Boulder County matching the issue
time from the NWS. Message 1's will likely be issued for the remainder
of the District by 11:00 AM but may not become valid until Noon or
1:00 PM depending upon when storms are expected to fill in.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
ANOTHER HOT DAY WITH SCATTERED HIGH-BASED AFTERNOON RAIN
SHOWERS/ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
-
Northwesterly flow aloft will turn westerly today effectively
increasing today's high temperatures well into the 90's on the plains
with upper 80's to low 90's along the foothills. Similar conditions to
yesterday with a chance for afternoon and early evening scattered
high-based rain showers/isolated thunderstorms. Once again there will
be a good chance showers stay minimal, however with mid to upper 40's
dew points currently, a low chance for moderate to 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 1 and 3pm with the best chance for rain showers/isolated
thunderstorms in the District between 3-8pm this evening. Typical
thunderstorms today will produce light to brief moderate rain and
breezy winds. Storm motions will be fairly brisk, between 10-15mph
from the W to E, 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 be well east of the District
boundaries.
-
Skies will gradually clear this evening with mild and dry conditions
expected through the overnight and into Thursday. Overnight lows will
dip into the mid to upper 60's on the plains with mid to upper 50'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
0.2-0.5" in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: Strong thunderstorms are able to develop with 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: A little more mid to upper-level moisture tomorrow will
increase chances for afternoon and evening rain showers/isolated
thunderstorms with a low to moderate chance storms produce heavy
rainfall at this time. Temperatures start to increase this weekend
with highs flirting with triple digits. A slight chance will remain
for a few scattered rain showers/isolated thunderstorms Saturday with
dry conditions likely Sunday.

Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
HOT TODAY WITH A CHANCE FOR HIGH-BASED AFTERNOON RAIN SHOWERS/ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS
-
Northwesterly flow aloft will continue today leading to another
chance for afternoon and evening rain showers/isolated thunderstorms.
A good chance showers stay minimal, however with upper 40's to low
50's dew points currently, a low chance for moderate to brief heavy
rainfall will remain, with increased chances if low-level moisture
does not mix out into the upper 30's to low 40's through the morning
hours as anticipated.
-
Initial storm development along the higher terrain will likely begin
between noon and 2pm with the best chance for rain showers/isolated
thunderstorms in the District between 2-7pm this evening. Typical
thunderstorms today will produce light to brief moderate rain and
breezy winds. Storm motions will be fairly brisk, between 10-20mph
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 be well east of the District
boundaries.
-
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: Strong thunderstorms are able to develop with 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: An uptick in mid to upper-level moisture tomorrow will
increase chances of widespread rain showers/thunderstorms in the
afternoon and early evening. A slight chance for storms to become
severe, mainly from gusty winds and possibly large hail. Afternoon and
evening storm chances continue Friday, again with a slight chance for
severe weather, mainly towards the eastern plains at this time. Mid to
upper-level moisture decreases into the weekend, however a chance will
remain for afternoon rain showers/isolated thunderstorms both Saturday
and Sunday.

MESSAGE 1'S WILL BE ALLOWED TO EXPIRE
-
Message 1's will be allowed to expire at 9:00 PM.
-
Colliding outflow boundaries resulted in brief thunderstorm activity
east of I-25 over portions of Adams, Arapahoe and Denver Counties but
these storms were pulse type in nature and did into sustain themselves
for very long. The outflow boundary from the N was the dominant
boundary and it has since cleared the District and no new thunderstorm
development is expected for the remainder of the evening and overnight
period.
-
Drier air will move into the District on Wednesday lowering
thunderstorm chances across the board and virtually eliminating the
heavy rainfall threat.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No meaningful precipitation is
expected for the remainder of the evening and overnight period.

Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
WARMING BACK UP WITH WIDELY SCATTERED AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS
-
After a nice break from the heat yesterday, temperatures will be
climbing back into the lower 90's over the plains with 70's and 80's
in the Front Range foothills which is near normal for this time of
year. Surface moisture lingers behind the front that moved through
early yesterday and with good daytime heating widely scattered
afternoon thunderstorms will develop.
-
Thunderstorms will first initiate over the higher terrain to the W
between noon-2pm. Upper level steering winds from NW to SE will push
the storms onto the plains after 2pm. Prime time for thunderstorm
activity is from 2-8pm. Typical thunderstorms today will produce light
to brief moderate rain and breezy winds. Generally one round of storms
is expected for the plains but not everyone will experience a
meaningful storm today.
-
Storms are expected to strengthen E of the I-25 corridor possibly
becoming strong over the plains but the better chances for strong
storms today will be E of the District boundaries. If stronger storms
are able to develop further W than expected then brief heavy rainfall
may occur. The chances for stronger storms to develop appears low at
this time.
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: Strong thunderstorms are able to develop with the
potential to produce heavy rainfall of 0.4-1.0" in 10-30 minutes and
up to 1.5" in 45-50 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: We will lose some moisture on Wednesday and temperatures
will continue their ascent with highs over the plains in the mid 90's
to around 100 degrees. With less available moisture thunderstorm
activity will be high-based and isolated producing minimal rain and
gusty winds. Better chances for thunderstorms on Thursday and Friday
with temperatures backing off a few degrees.

TEMPERATURES TOO COOL FOR THUNDERSTORMS TODAY WITHIN THE DISTRICT
-
A cold front moved through this morning increasing clouds and
turning winds to the N and even producing a little mist S of I-70 over
the plains currently with the upslope flow. A much cooler air mass is
in place today and will provide a break from the heat.
-
Highs this afternoon will only warm into the low to mid 80's over
the plains with 70's in the Front Range foothills. Breezy N winds
behind the front are already in the process of weakening and clouds
will slowly decrease into the afternoon becoming partly cloudy.
Temperatures would need to reach around 90 to initiate convection over
the plains and with the cool temperatures forecast the air mass is
expected to remain stable over the plains with generally dry
conditions over the District.
-
Thunderstorm activity will develop to the S and SW of the District
over the higher foothills where there is more sunshine currently and
the atmosphere will be more unstable. As these storms are pushed to
the E by upper level winds towards the District they are expected to
dissipate on approach. A storm or two may survive long enough to
produce an isolated rain shower or weak thunderstorm favoring areas S
of I-70 and W of I-25.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Light rain showers or mist this
morning will generally produce just a trace (TR) of precipitation.
Rain showers and possibly a weakening thunderstorm will produce a
trace to 0.2" of rain in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: Temperatures warm further than expected with
thunderstorms becoming more likely over the plains with the potential
to produce brief heavy rainfall.
A LOOK AHEAD: Temperatures will climb into the upper 80's to lower
90's on Tuesday and with more heating thunderstorms will become
likely. Widely scattered afternoon thunderstorms are expected to
initiate by 1/2pm and continue possible through 8/9pm. Stronger storms
will have the potential to produce brief heavy rainfall.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
HOT... ISOLATED AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS WILL PROVIDE RELIEF FROM THE
HEAT FOR SOME
-
Temperatures will continue to be hot over the District today with
temperatures climbing into the mid 90's to around 100 over the plains.
Isolated areas may reach or exceed 100 degrees! Record high for today
is 102 and will likely not be reached as there will be more clouds
this afternoon.
-
There is a little more moisture to work with in the mid and upper
levels of the atmosphere today and will result in isolated afternoon
thunderstorms. The majority of the storms that develop today will be
high-based producing gusty winds and minimal rainfall. Surface wind
convergence may be able to energize a storm or two over the plains
with a moderate to briefly strong thunderstorm possible but chances
are quite low and will be the worst case scenario for today resulting
in a LOW Message potential.
-
Thunderstorms will develop between 1-2pm over the higher terrain
with best chances on the plains from 2-9pm. Typical storms will move
from SW to NE at around 20mph. Stronger storms may move more
erratically or remain nearly stationary on surface wind convergence
boundaries. Shower and storm activity will be of the hit-or-miss
variety and not everyone will experience a storm but the areas that do
will receive a little relief from the heat this afternoon.
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 rainfall rates of
0.1-0.3" in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: Strong thunderstorms will have the potential to
produce rainfall rates of 0.3-0.8" in 10-30 minutes and up to 1.0" in
45-60 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: A cold front will move through ahead of daybreak
tomorrow and result in much cooler temperatures with highs only in the
80's over the plains with 70's in the Front Range foothills. Moisture
will increase behind the front but the cooler temperatures over the
plains may help to retard thunderstorm development over the plains
with scattered coverage over the foothills and Palmer Divide. If
strong thunderstorms are able to develop Monday afternoon heavy
rainfall will likely accompany the storms.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES HAVE RESULTED IN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS TOWARDS
EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE DISTRICT
-
A storm that formed in Elbert County has produced a gust front that
has moved into the district at this time.
-
A few scattered thunderstorms have developed producing moderate to
brief heavy rainfall. These storms should remain isolated and east of
I-25.
-
Additional storms could be possible off additional outflow
boundaries if they move west and into Denver.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rain showers/isoalted
thunderstorms can produce TR-0.20" in 10-30 minutes. A moderate to
strong thunderstorm can produce 0.20-0.60" in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A strong anchored storm has the potential to
produce 0.6-1.2" in 30-60 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: Hot and dry weather expected tomorrow morning with
another slight chance for scattered afternoon/eve rain showers and
thunderstorms.

RECORD BREAKING HEAT AND GENERALLY DRY FOR THE PLAINS/ISOLATED STORMS
FOOTHILLS
-
Temperatures will reach or exceed record levels for the date as high
pressure dominates the weather pattern today. Temperatures will reach
the mid 90's to lower 100's over the plains with 80's in the Front
Range foothills. Normal high for Denver today is 90 degrees. The
record high is 98 last set in 2021 and is expected to be broken during
the early afternoon.
-
There will be a few fair weather clouds that develop this afternoon
over the plains with possibly an isolated thunderstorm over the
foothills and Palmer Divide. The far S and W Denver area suburbs maybe
grazed by one of these storms which may provide some relief from the
heat. The most likely outcome is breezy winds as any precipitation
evaporates before reaching the surface outside the foothills.
-
Isolated thunderstorms over the foothills and Palmer Divide will
initiate by mid afternoon with best chances from 3-8pm. Most areas
within the District will be dry today with any rainfall from
thunderstorms being minimal.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rain showers and weak to
briefly moderate thunderstorms will produce a trace to 0.2" of rain.
A LOOK AHEAD: Continued hot on Sunday with highs in the mid 90's to
around 100 degrees over the plains. There will be a better chance for
isolated thunderstorms District wide but the storms that develop will
produce minimal rain and gusty winds. Moisture increases Monday and
Tuesday with scattered afternoon thunderstorms some of which may be
capable of producing brief heavy rainfall.
