Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
COOLER TODAY WITH ANOTHER CHANCE FOR SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING
-
Northwesterly upper-level flow aloft will turn westerly as a strong
disturbance moves just south of Colorado during the day today. A cold
front that passed through last night will limit daytime temperatures
today which could help decrease the rainfall severity throughout the
day and evening.
-
Today's high temperatures will almost touch 80 degrees this
afternoon before clouds start to increase as storms initiate along the
higher terrain around midday. Showers and thunderstorms will likely
move into the District between 2-4pm with rain/thunderstorms chances
through 10pm-midnight, with a slight chance for a few scattered
overnight rain showers and possibly an isolated thunderstorm or two.
However, the best chance for heavy rainfall will be through 10pm as
showers are expected to taper off in intensity into the late evening
hours.
-
Storm motions today will also increase chances for brief heavy rain
as slow motions from west to east up to 5mph will result in a high
likelihood of some stationary storm movements this afternoon and
evening. That being said, the largest threat will be a quick 0.5" in
10-15 minutes as most storms pulse up and down fairly quickly today.
Although a stronger anchored storm, or training of thunderstorm cells
could produce extended periods of moderate to heavy rainfall this
afternoon and early evening.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical rain showers will only
produce a trace to 0.2" of rainfall in 10-30 minutes. A moderate rain
shower/isolated thunderstorm could produce 0.2- 0.6" in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A strong anchored rain shower/thunderstorm, or
training of rain showers/thunderstorms have the potential to produce
0.6-1.8" in 45-60 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: This active pattern holds into Sunday with another
chance for off and on rain showers/thunderstorms during the day with
some of these likely to produce brief heavy rainfall in the afternoon
and early evening. Conditions start to dry out slightly Monday and
Tuesday, however a chance will remain for afternoon/evening rain
showers/isolated thunderstorms, with a minimal chance for heavy rain
at this time.

Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
MESSAGE 1'S HAVE BEEN EXTENDED UNTIL 4:00 AM FOR THE ENTIRE DISTRICT
-
Message 1's have been extended until 4:00 AM tomorrow morning as the
threat for heavy rainfall remains.
-
An outflow boundary from a cell to the south has moved all the way
through the District initiating a few isolated rain
showers/thunderstorms at this time. These storms have not been
exceptionally strong, however, with good upper-level support aloft and
dew points in the 50's, even small/weak showers have been efficient
rain producers as they quickly pulse up and down. This will result in
the largest threat being a quick 0.5" in 10-15 minutes as a storm
pulses up and quickly rains itself out.
-
Best chance for these showers will be from now until 4am. Storms
this evening will be very hit and miss as they remain fairly
stationary, which has also increased the chance for isolated brief
heavy rainfall through the overnight. Skies will gradually clear
tomorrow by daybreak with another chance for showers/thunderstorms
tomorrow.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical rain showers will
produce a trace to 0.3" in 10-30 minutes. a moderate to strong rain
shower/thunderstorm will produce 0.3-0.6" in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A strong, stationary storm has the potential to
produce 0.6-1.8" in 45-60 minutes.

MESSAGE 1'S CONTINUE VALID
-
Message 1's issued for the entire District will continue valid until
10:00 PM
-
A line of storms has developed, first initiating in Adams County
before strengthening southward into Aurora and Arapahoe Counties.
These storms briefly produced heavy rain and are now moving eastward
and out of the District.
-
Outflow boundaries have resulted in additional storm development
towards DIA and will have the potential to produce more storms across
the District through the few hours.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical rain
showers/thunderstorms will produce a trace to 0.2" in 10-30 minutes. A
moderate to stronger rain shower/thunderstorm could produce 0.2-0.6"
in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: An anchored, strong thunderstorm has the
potential to produce 0.6-1.2" in 45-60 minutes.

MESSAGE 1'S ISSUED FOR THE ENTIRE DISTRICT
-
Message 1's have been issued for the entire District and will be
valid until 10:00 PM.
-
A few storms have initiated along the higher terrain towards the
west and south along the Palmer Divide. A boundary has set up from
north to south from Brighton through Parker and is currently the focus
point for stronger storm development this afternoon. Storm motions are
generally expected from NW to SE between 5-10mph, however some storm
motions today have been erratic as storms pulse up quickly, with
additional storms developing off outflow boundaries which has
increased the chance for brief heavy rainfall this afternoon and
evening.
-
The best chance for storms will be from now through 10pm this
evening with stronger storms capable of producing heavy rainfall that
may lead to excessive runoff. The largest threat today will be a quick
0.5" in 10-15 minutes. The stronger storms will likely be isolated
with best chances along and E of I-25 at this time. Storm chances
taper off after 10pm as the overnight dries out with mild conditions
expected into daybreak Saturday.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Moderate to strong
thunderstorms will have the potential to produce rainfall rates of
0.4-0.9" in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A slower moving or briefly anchored strong
thunderstorm may produce rainfall amounts of up to 1.8" in 45-75
minutes.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
WARM WITH A CHANCE FOR AFTERNOON RAIN SHOWERS/ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
-
Northwesterly upper-level flow aloft today will bring mild
conditions early as high temperatures reach the low to mid 80's this
afternoon. A weak disturbance moves through the region this afternoon
bringing a chance for afternoon rain showers/isolated thunderstorms.
-
Storm chances today will be hit or miss for the most part with most
areas coming in dry. However, a chance will remain for a few rain
showers/isolated thunderstorms this afternoon with the best chance
between 2-8pm. Storm motions should be fairly brisk, between 10-15mph
from the NW to SE which should help limit point rainfall amounts,
although a slight chance for a storm to form along an outflow boundary
and produce a quick 0.5" in 10 minutes resulting in a LOW chance for
Message 1 issuance this afternoon.
-
After 8pm, skies will gradually clear with mild conditions expected
through the overnight. Lows will drop into the upper 50's to low 60's
be daybreak Saturday.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical rain showers will only
produce a trace to 0.2" of rainfall in 10-30 minutes. A moderate rain
shower/isolated thunderstorm could produce 0.2-0.5" in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A strong thunderstorm, or anchored rain
shower/thunderstorm, likely formed off an outflow boundary has the
potential to produce 0.5-1.5" in 60-90 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: An active weather pattern will hold through the weekend
with rain showers/thunderstorm chances both Saturday and Sunday.
Saturday's storms will favor areas south and along the Palmer Divide
at this time. Sunday will bring a better chance for widespread
rainfall across the District with a better chance for moderate to
brief heavy rainfall.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
WARMER WITH CONTINUED DRY CONDITIONS TODAY
-
North to northwesterly flow aloft today will result in mild
conditions throughout the day a high temperatures reach up to 90
degrees this afternoon.
-
Mostly sunny currently with surface winds out the the SW between
5-10mph will hold through most of the day. A few clouds this
afternoon, although no precipitation is expected at this time.
-
Overnight lows will drop into the upper 50's to low 60's on the
plains with low 50's along the foothills.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No precipitation is expected
today or this evening.
A LOOK AHEAD: Slightly cooler tomorrow as high temperatures reach the
low to mid 80's. A chance for afternoon and evening rain/isolated
thunderstorms, however, minimal rainfall is expected at this time. An
uptick in mid to upper-level moisture moves into the region Saturday
along with a cold front will result in a better chance for off and on
rain showers during the day with a good chance for late afternoon and
evening rain showers/thunderstorms. Temperatures will only reach the
70's Saturday, which could help limit the intensity of storms
throughout the day.

DRY CONDITIONS OVER THE DISTRICT TODAY
-
The trough of low pressure responsible for the last couple days of
heavy rain has pushed southward and taken the chances for showers and
thunderstorms along with it. Many areas within the District
experienced between 1-3" of rain Monday and Tuesday with isolated
higher amounts.
-
Temperatures will warm into the low and mid 80's over the plains
with 60's and 70's in the Front Range foothills which is slightly
below normal for the date. Normal high for Denver today is 87 degrees.
-
Shower and thunderstorm chances will be suppressed to the S and W
with dry conditions expected today. Showers and thunderstorms may
develop to the W and S of the District over the foothills and crest of
the Palmer Divide but upper level steering winds from NW to SE will
keep these potential showers and thunderstorms from entering the
District.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No precipitation is expected
today and tonight.
A LOOK AHEAD: Another dry day is in store for Thursday with
temperatures returning to near normal values in the mid to upper 80's
for highs over the plains. Thunderstorm chances will increase Friday
with better chances Saturday and Sunday.

MESSAGE 1'S WILL BE ALLOWED TO EXPIRE AT 6:00 PM
-
Message 1's will be allowed to expire at 6:00pm as the threat for
heavy rainfall has come to an end at this time.
-
A few lingering rain showers currently along the Continental and
Palmer Divide which are bringing between a trace and 0.2" of rainfall
in 10-30 minutes. These showers will likely hang around over the next
several hours before tapering off, keeping a chance across the
District for light to brief moderate rainfall through 2am Wednesday.
-
Cooler temperatures currently around 70 degrees should help limit
any rainfall potential, however with dew points in the upper 50's to
around 60 degrees combined with a weak front moving in from the N/NE
later this evening, any rain showers could potentially produce strong
rainfall at times resulting in a LOW threat for Messages 1 to be
reissued this evening.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical rain showers will
produce a trace to 0.2" in 10-30 minutes. A moderate to strong rain
shower could produce 0.2-0.6" in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A moderate to strong rain shower/isolated
thunderstorm has the potential to produce 0.6-1.8" in 30-60 minutes.

-------------------------
MESSAGE 1'S CONTINUE VALID
-
Message 1's will continue valid until 6:00pm this evening.
-
The area of moderate to heavy rainfall has diminished over the
District with lingering light rain showers currently ongoing. The
atmosphere is more stable behind these showers but any daytime heating
will result in additional showers and possibly an isolated
thunderstorm this afternoon.
-
Rain showers will be capable of moderate to brief heavy rain with
any thunderstorm activity very capable of producing heavy rainfall.
With the cooler temperatures currently in place (60's to around 70
over the plains) the threat for thunderstorm activity is low.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rain showers will produce
0.3-0.8" rainfall rates in 10-30 minutes. Weak thunderstorms will have
the potential to produce 0.4-1.2" in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: Temperatures warm further than expected with the
potential for moderate to strong thunderstorms to produce heavy
rainfall of 0.8-2.0" in 10-30 minutes.
