-------------------------
MESSAGE 2'S HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR THE ENTIRE DISTRICT
-
Message 2's have been issued for the entire District effective from
1pm this afternoon valid until midnight tonight.
-
Storms are starting to initiate along the higher terrain at this
time and will continue over the next couple of hours before storms
move into the District from the west this afternoon between 2-3pm. A
good chance for heavy rain showers/thunderstorms across the District
this afternoon as dew points remain elevated in the mid to upper 50's.
Storm motions will generally be from the W/SW to E/NE between 3-8mph
with additional storms likely forming along outflow boundaries
resulting in some slow moving and/or stationary storms this afternoon
and early evening. The slow to stationary storms will bring the
biggest threat for heavy rainfall, although with so much available
moisture at the surface, most storms will be efficient rainfall
producers throughout the day and into this evening.
-
Once again there will be a slight chance storms could become severe
this afternoon with wind gusts up to 60mph with hail up to 1.5". Best
chance for severe weather will be areas along and east of I-25 as
storms strengthen onto the plains. One or two rounds of rain
showers/thunderstorms will be possible with the first round likely
having the best chance for heavy rainfall at this time. Storm
intensities will decrease after sunset with more scattered rain
showers likely through midnight. Skies will gradually clear overnight
with lows dropping into the upper 50's to low 60's by daybreak Monday.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical rain
showers/thunderstorms will produce 0.4-1.0" in 10-30 minutes. Moderate
to strong thunderstorms will have the potential to produce rainfall
rates of 1.0-2.0" in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A strong/slower moving or stationary thunderstorm
may result in heavy rainfall rates of up to 3.5" in 45-60 minutes.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
WARM TODAY WITH A GOOD CHANCE FOR HEAVY RAINFALL THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING
-
Not much change in the overall pattern from yesterday with SW
upper-level flow continuing to dominate over the region today as dew
points remain elevated in the upper 50's to low 60's this morning.
Clouds have moved eastward bringing mostly sunny skies early which
will help enhance daytime heating with highs expected in the mid to
upper 80's this afternoon. Combined with adequate surface moisture,
the chance for heavy rainfall will be HIGH as the National Weather
Service has issued a Flood Watch in effect from 2pm this afternoon
until midnight tonight.
-
This Flood Watch will coincide with the issuance of Message 2's from
2pm this afternoon effective until midnight tonight. Initial storm
development is expected to form along the higher terrain between noon
and 2pm with storms moving onto the foothills between 1-3pm. Storms
will then move into the District between 2-4pm with multiple rounds of
storms likely through the evening before rainfall chances taper off
around midnight. Storm motions will be slow today as steering winds
remain fairly week with generally W/SW to E/NE storm movement between
3-8mph, however, strong storms have the potential to form along
outflow boundaries and anchor in place for an extended period of time
resulting in an increased chance for heavy rainfall. Heavy rainfall
rates today will be between 1-3" per hour, although the likelihood of
a storm lasting over one hour at a certain point remains very low at
this time.
-
Storms that form today will have a chance to become severe, favoring
areas along and east of I-25. These storms may contain gusty winds
60+mph, large hail up to 1.5" and frequent cloud-to-ground lightning.
After sunset, the intensity of storms should decrease with skies
gradually clearing through the overnight and into Monday morning.
Overnight lows will drop into the upper 50's to low 60's with mild
conditions expected through daybreak tomorrow.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical rain
showers/thunderstorms will produce 0.2-0.6" in 10-30 minutes. Moderate
to strong thunderstorms will have the potential to produce 0.6-1.6" in
10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A strong anchored thunderstorm or a slower moving
large thunderstorm may result in rainfall rates up to 3.2" in 45-60
minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: Slightly cooler across the District tomorrow with drier
air moving in from the NW will help limit storm activity for the
afternoon and evening. A chance will remain for a few rain
showers/isolated thunderstorms, with likely a low if not moderate
chance for heavy rainfall, especially if we get saturated at the
surface today. Conditions start to dry out Tuesday with a slight
chance for a scattered rain showers, mainly along the foothills and
Palmer Divide.

MESSAGES WILL BE ALLOWED TO EXPIRE AT 9:00 PM/ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND
WEAK THUNDERSTORMS REMAIN POSSIBLE UNTIL MIDNIGHT
-
Message 1's will be allowed to expire at 9:00 PM as the threat for
heavy rainfall has ended for the day. Additional rain showers and weak
thunderstorms will remain possible until around midnight.
-
Strong thunderstorm activity has diminished over the past few hours
with isolated light rain showers and weak thunderstorms remaining over
portions of the District at this time. These showers and isolated weak
thunderstorms will continue to progress eastward with conditions
drying out through midnight. Additional light rain showers may
re-develop overnight into early Sunday morning as a cold front moves
through.
-
An abundance of moisture will be in place tomorrow (Sunday) and will
result in a threat for thunderstorms that will be very capable of
producing heavy rainfall during the afternoon and evening.
Thunderstorm strength will depend upon daytime heating and more
sunshine early in the day will likely equate to stronger storms in the
afternoon. Areas that experienced heavy rainfall today may not take as
much rain tomorrow to produce runoff.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rain showers and isolated weak
thunderstorms will produce a trace to 0.3" in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A briefly moderate thunderstorm is able to
develop with the potential to produce rainfall rates of 0.3-0.7" in
10-30 minutes.

-------------------------
MESSAGE 1'S ISSUED FOR THE ENTIRE DISTRICT
-
Message 1's have been issued for the entire District valid 2pm until
9pm with prime time for heavy rainfall expected between 3pm and 8pm
this evening.
-
Storms are starting to initiate along the higher terrain at this
time and will continue over the next couple of hours before a weak
disturbance moves into the District from the W/SW this afternoon
between 2-3pm. This disturbance will bring a good chance for rain
showers/thunderstorms across the District as dew points remain
elevated in the mid to upper 50's. Storm motions will be from the W/SW
to E/NE between 10-15mph, however, additional storms will likely form
along outflow boundaries resulting in some slow moving and/or
stationary storms this afternoon and early evening. The slow to
stationary storms will bring the biggest threat for heavy rainfall,
although with so much available moisture at the surface, most storms
will be efficient rainfall producers.
-
A very slight chance storms could become severe this afternoon with
wind gusts up to 60mph with hail around 1". Best chance for severe
weather will be areas east of I-25 as storms strengthen onto the
plains. One or two rounds of rain showers/thunderstorms will be
possible with the first round likely having the best chance for a
heavy rainfall threat at this time. A cold front will move through
from the north through the overnight hours, effectively keeping a
chance for scattered rain showers overnight and until daybreak Sunday.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Weak rain showers/thunderstorms
will produce 0.1-0.4" in 10-30 minutes. Moderate to strong
thunderstorms will have the potential to produce rainfall rates of
0.4-1.2" in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A strong/slower moving or stationary thunderstorm
may result in heavy rainfall rates of up to 2.8" in 45-75 minutes.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
AFTERNOON AND EVENING RAIN SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS WITH A DECENT CHANCE
FOR ISOLATED HEAVY RAIN
-
Excess surface moisture with dew points in the mid to upper 50's
currently will likely not mix out well through the morning. Combined
with adequate heating today with highs in the low 90's this afternoon,
along with a weak disturbance moving through in the early afternoon
will result in a good chance for rain showers/thunderstorms, some of
which may contain brief heavy rainfall.
-
The first signs of storm activity will form along the higher terrain
between noon-2pm with storms moving into the District between 2-4pm
with a couple of rounds of storm chances through sunset with moderate
to heavy rain showers tapering off by 9pm this evening. Typical storm
motions will be from W/SW to E/NE between 10-15mph helping limit point
rainfall amounts, however, a good chance additional storms develop
along outflow boundaries which will have stationary and/or erratic
behavior leading to an increased chance for a heavy rainfall threat
today.
-
Storms today may also become severe with strong winds around 60mph
with hail up to 1.5". Stronger storms will likely favor areas east of
I-25 this afternoon and evening. A cold front will move through the
region during the overnight hours, keeping a chance for scattered rain
showers through daybreak Sunday, however the intensity and chance for
heavy rain should diminish after sunset tonight.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical rain
showers/thunderstorms will produce 0.1-0.4" in 10-30 minutes. Moderate
to strong thunderstorms will have the potential to produce 0.4-1.2" in
10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A strong anchored thunderstorm or a slower moving
large thunderstorm may result in rainfall rates up to 2.8" in 45-75
minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: Cooler tomorrow behind the cold front that moves through
the region through the overnight tonight. This cold front will greatly
dictate the strength of storms Sunday as cooler temperatures will
likely limit heavy rainfall activity, however, with lots of available
moisture and good upper-level support, the threat for heavy rainfall
will remain elevated at this time. Best chance for heavy rainfall
tomorrow will be in the afternoon to early evening where daytime
heating is at its strongest. Rain showers start to taper off Sunday
evening with conditions drying out into Monday morning. A chance
remains for afternoon/evening rain showers/isolated thunderstorms
Monday, with a low chance for a heavy rainfall threat at this time.

Message 1's will be allowed to expire at 9:00 PM as the threat for
heavy rainfall has ended for the day.
-
A few thunderstorms blossomed over south and eastern areas of the
District this afternoon with generally quiet conditions along the I-25
corridor westward to the base of the foothills. The boundary that
produced storms has made it eastward and out of the District. A slight
chance for additional rain showers over the next couple of hours
before skies gradually clear through the overnight.
-
Overnight lows will dip into the upper 50's to low 60's with dry
conditions expected through midday tomorrow.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical rain showers will
produce a trace to 0.1" in 10-30 minutes. A moderate rain shower/weak
thunderstorm will be able to produce 0.1-0.3" in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A stronger thunderstorm has the potential to
produce 0.3-0.9" in 30-60 minutes.

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 900pm this evening.
-
Storms have started to initiate along an outflow boundary that moved
in from the west. These storms are from DIA south through Aurora and
towards Chatfield reservoir. These storms will likely stay stationary
along the gust front and/or move slowly NNE around 5mph. This erratic
and slow movement has increased the threat for moderate to brief heavy
rain. Briefly anchored or slower moving storms may create runoff or
localized flooding.
-
Storms continue to produce along the Continental Divide and have the
potential to move into the the District through the rest of the
evening. The storms could trigger additional outflow boundaries into
this evening which could also produce additional rain
showers/thunderstorms with moderate to heavy rainfall.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Weak thunderstorms will produce
TR-0.3" in 10-30 minutes. Moderate to strong thunderstorms will have
the potential to produce 0.3-0.9" in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: Strong thunderstorms anchor for an extended
period of time or training of thunderstorm cells has the potential to
produce up to 1.8" in 45-75 min.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
NEAR RECORD HEAT ONCE AGAIN WITH ISOLATED AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS
-
After tying the record high of 98 degrees at DIA yesterday another
record may be reached today. Temperatures this afternoon will top out
in the mid to upper 90's over the plains with possibly an isolated 100
degree reading. The record high for Denver today is 99 degrees and it
will be in jeopardy of being reached. Normal high for Denver today is
89 degrees. How early the cloud cover develops will be a determining
factor if the record is reached today.
-
Much like yesterday the best chances for thunderstorms this
afternoon will be over the foothills to the W and Palmer Divide to the
S with only isolated coverage expected most areas withing the District
itself. Typical storms will produce light to briefly moderate rain and
gusty winds. Outflow from storms outside the District may increase
moisture levels and provide a trigger for development which could
produce a stronger thunderstorm that would be capable of producing
heavy rain. The chances of this playing out are very low but is the
reasoning behind a LOW Message potential today.
-
Thunderstorms will develop over the higher terrain to the W and SW
between 1-3pm with chances for storm activity over the plains between
3-9pm. After 9pm dry conditions are expected. Upper level steering
winds will be turning more SW as the day progresses and most storms
will move from SW to NE at 10-20mph.
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: Outflow from thunderstorms outside the District
pushes additional moisture into the area and provides a triggering
mechanism for strong thunderstorms with the potential to produce
rainfall rates of 0.5-1.2" in 10-30 minutes and up to 2.0" in 45-60
minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: A cold front will move through overnight and cool
temperatures into the upper 80's to lower 90's over the plains on
Saturday and increase surface moisture. Monsoon moisture will move
overhead and in tandem with the up-tick in surface moisture there is
expected to be a significant increase in thunderstorm activity. Strong
thunderstorms Saturday will be capable of producing heavy rainfall
that may lead to excessive runoff. The threat for strong thunderstorms
with the potential for heavy rainfall will continue Sunday.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
NEAR RECORD HEAT WITH ISOLATED AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS
-
Ridge of high pressure aloft will strengthen today resulting in near
record heat over the District. Temperatures will warm into the mid to
upper 90's over the plains with 80's in the Front Range foothills.
Normal high for Denver today is 89 degrees and the record is 98 which
may be tied but is not expected to be broken.
-
The best chances for storms will âhorseshoeâ around the majority
of the District as the foothills and Palmer Divide to the W and S will
have a better chance for storms and a surface wind convergence line
set up to the E may fire storms over the plains. All this equates to a
low chance for isolated storms most areas, generally producing light
to briefly moderate rainfall and gusty winds but a stronger storm
cannot be ruled out. Typical storms will move from W to E at 10-15mph.
-
Moisture levels are modest and storm motions relatively slow
resulting in the storms that do form around the District over the
foothills and Palmer Divide having the potential to produce moderate
to heavy rainfall. Best chances for storms will be between 2-8pm over
the foothills and Palmer Divide and between 3-8pm plains. Should
storms outside the District produce rain cooled outflow boundaries it
may act as a trigger for storms in areas where it is not expected
currently resulting in a LOW to MODERATE Message potential.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rain showers and weak
thunderstorms will produce a trace to 0.3" of rain. Moderate to
possibly strong thunderstorms will have the potential to produce
0.3-0.9" in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: Surface moisture increases further than expected
due to thunderstorm outflow boundaries outside the District resulting
in strong/slow moving thunderstorms with the potential to produce
rainfall rates of 0.5-1.3" in 10-30 minutes and up to 2.0" in 60
minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: Another HOT day on Friday with temperatures in the mid
to upper 90's. Thunderstorm activity is expected to increase with
widely scattered storms leading to some relief from the heat in the
later afternoon as clouds build and storms form. Monsoon moisture will
move overhead on Saturday and result in scattered to numerous
thunderstorms with the potential to produce heavy rainfall that may
lead to excessive runoff and possibly flash flooding.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
GUST FRONTS S/SW OF THE DISTRICT HAVE INCREASED RAINFALL CHANCES
ACROSS THE DIRSTICT
-
A gust front is currently moving into the District from the S/SW and
could potentially trigger storms across the District this evening.
Best chance for storm development will be from now until 9pm.
-
Initial storms that moved off the foothills mixed out before
impacting the Denver Metro area. Stronger storms along the Palmer
Divide have produced a gust front, combined with mid 40's dew points
has increased chances for moderate to brief heavy rainfall across the
District. This has resulted in an updated to the HPO to include ALL
counties to a LOW risk for heavy rainfall at this time on the plains
with a MODERATE risk for the foothills.
-
Storm motions will generally be from the W/NW to E/SE between
10-20mph helping limit point rainfall amounts. However if storms do
develop along the gust front, erratic storm motions will be possible
which will increase the chance for moderate to brief heavy rain.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rain showers and weak
thunderstorms will produce a trace to 0.3". Moderate to strong
thunderstorms will have the potential to produce rainfall rates of
0.3-0.9" in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: Warm layer of air aloft erodes allowing for
stronger storms over the plains with the potential to produce brief
heavy rainfall of 0.4-1.2" in 10-30 minutes and up to 1.8" in 60
minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: Isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms are expected
on Thursday with better chances for storms over the plains.
Temperatures will warm back into the 90's. Friday will also feature
isolated to widely scattered storms but the weekend is looking quite
active as monsoon moisture moves overhead with thunderstorms capable
of producing heavy rainfall.
