GUST FRONT HAS TRIGGERED STRONG STORMS SOUTH DISTRICT
-
A gust front from the NE has moved into the District initiating a
strong thunderstorm in northern Douglas County.
-
This cell will move to the NE and through Arapahoe County into
Aurora over the next couple of hours. This gust front has increased
the heavy rain threat for portions of the District and will result in
a LOW chance for Message 1's.
-
Widespread rain showers across the rest of the District and will
continue over the next several hours and into this evening. Best
chance for moderate to heavy rain across the District will be from now
until 9pm 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
thunderstorm can produce 0.2-0.5" in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A strong, slow moving thunderstorms has the
potential to produce 0.5-1.25" in 45-75 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: Similar conditions will be in place tomorrow with a
chance for moderate to heavy rainfall during the afternoon and early
evening.

COOLER TODAY WITH A GOOD CHANCE FOR AFTERNOON/EVENING RAIN
SHOWERS/ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
-
A trough of low-pressure will begin to move through the region today
leading to a good chance for widespread rain showers/isolated
thunderstorms this afternoon and evening with a very slight chance for
lingering rain showers through the overnight. High temperatures today
will reach the mid to upper 70's on the plains with upper 60's to low
70's along the foothills.
-
Shower activity currently on the western slope will slowly progress
eastward and into the District this afternoon. Sprinkles to light rain
will be possible by midday today with shower activity picking up this
afternoon and into the early evening. Typical rain showers will
produce a trace to 0.2" of rainfall, with isolated higher amounts
possible if stronger storms are able to develop. Storm motions will be
from the W/SW to E/NE between 10-15mph which will also limit point
rainfall amounts. Best chance for shower activity will decrease after
sunset with a slight chance for a few overnight rain showers.
-
Overnight lows will drop into the upper 40's to low 50's on the
plains with low to mid 40's along the foothills. Any rain shower
activity through the overnight expected between a TR-0.1".
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/isolated thunderstorm could produce 0.2-0.4" in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A stronger thunderstorm, or training of
thunderstorm cells have the potential to produce 0.4-1.2" in 45-75
minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: This pattern remains through the weekend with off and on
rain shower/isolated thunderstorm activity both Saturday and Sunday.
Today is the final day for weather coverage from Skyview Weather.
Thank you for another great season! Any questions or comments should
be directed to Bruce Rindahl at 303-455-6277 or Bruce Rindahl

CONTINUED WARM WITH CLOUD COVER ON THE INCREASE AND ISOLATED AFTERNOON
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS
-
Temperatures will continue to run well above seasonal averages but
below record levels today. Highs this afternoon will reach the low to
mid 80's over the plains with 70's in the Front Range foothills.
Normal high for Denver today is 74 degrees with a record high of 92
degrees.
-
SW flow aloft will increase mid and upper level moisture and cloud
cover will be on the increase as the day progresses with isolated rain
showers and weak thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. Rain
showers and weak thunderstorms will develop over the higher terrain by
around noon or shortly after. Upper level steering winds from SW to NE
at around 15-20mph will then push the storms onto the plains by 1-2pm.
By 6 or 7pm shower activity will be on the decrease with conditions
drying out this evening.
-
Rain showers and weak thunderstorms that develop this afternoon will
be high-based producing minimal rainfall and gusty winds. Many areas
likely end up on the drier side or experience just a few sprinkles.
Best chances for measurable precipitation today will be in and near
the foothills. Conditions will be dry for the overnight period with
lows into Friday morning in the 40's foothills and lower 50's plains.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rain showers and high-based
weak thunderstorms will produce a trace to 0.2" of rain in 10-30
minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: An approaching trough of low pressure will increase
shower and thunderstorm coverage on Friday. Scattered rain showers and
weak to moderate thunderstorms will fill in during the afternoon and
continue possible well into the evening as a cold front moves through.
Much cooler Saturday with additional rain showers expected and
possibly a rumble of thunder.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
UNSEASONABLY WARM AND GENERALLY DRY
-
Temperatures will warm well above seasonal averages today with
generally dry conditions as high pressure dominates our weather
pattern. Afternoon highs will top out in the low to mid 80's over the
plains with 70's in the Front Range foothills. Normal high for Denver
today is 74 degrees, the record for the date is 92 degrees.
-
Conditions will be dry over the plains with a build-up of clouds
over the foothills and Palmer Divide with a very isolated rain shower
or weak thunderstorm possible. If a shower or weak thunderstorm does
develop it will be outside the District or over the far W and S
fringes of the District. No meaningful moisture is expected beyond a
few sprinkles.
-
Conditions will be dry for the overnight period with lows into
Thursday morning in the 40's foothills and 50's plains.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No meaningful rainfall is
expected, less than 0.1" with mainly trace type amounts over the
higher terrain.
A LOOK AHEAD: Remaining unseasonably warm on Thursday with a slight
chance for an isolated afternoon rain shower or weak thunderstorm.
Most areas will continue to be dry with best chances for any moisture
over the foothills.

ISOLATED, HIGH-BASED AFTERNOON SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS FAVORING THE
HIGHER TERRAIN
-
An increase in mid and upper level moisture will lead to a chance
for showers and weak thunderstorms over the District today.
Temperatures will continue to run above seasonal averages with
readings in the upper 70's to lower 80's over the plains with 60's and
70's in the Front Range foothills. Mostly sunny skies early will
become partly to mostly cloudy as convective clouds develop this
afternoon.
-
Most of the shower and weak thunderstorm activity today will remain
over the mountains, foothills, and higher terrain of the Palmer Divide
with lesser chances over the plains between 2-8pm. The storms that
develop today will be high-based as surface moisture is lacking
resulting in minimal rainfall and gusty winds. Many areas along the
I-25 corridor will likely end up dry or experience just a few gusty
sprinkles.
-
After 8pm conditions are expected to dry out with overnight lows
dropping into the 40's foothills and upper 40's to lower 50's plains
into Wednesday morning.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rain showers and weak
thunderstorms will produce rainfall amounts of a trace to 0.2" in
10-30 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: Shower and thunderstorm activity is expected to retreat
back into the higher mountains on Wednesday leaving the I-25 corridor
on the dry side. Temperatures will remain either side of 80 degrees
for highs over the plains with readings about 10 degrees cooler in the
foothills.

WARM AND DRY WITH ABUNDANT SUNSHINE
-
High pressure continues to dominate our weather pattern over the
District leading to warm and dry conditions with plenty of sunshine.
Afternoon highs will top out in the upper 70's to lower 80's over the
plains with light and variable winds. Normal high for Denver today is
75 degrees.
-
There will be a few a fair weather clouds that develop over the
mountains and then drift over the plains mid to late afternoon but
conditions will be dry in and around the District today. Tonight
temperatures will drop into the upper 40's and lower 50's for
overnight lows along the I-25 corridor. Normal low for Denver this
time of year is 46 degrees.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No precipitation today or
tonight.
A LOOK AHEAD: Upper level moisture will begin to increase on Tuesday
and will lead to a few rain showers and weak thunderstorms developing
over the foothills and Palmer Divide in the afternoon and early
evening. Showers and thunderstorms are expected to diminish as they
move off the higher terrain but a stray shower or weak storm cannot be
ruled out over the District between 2-8pm. Temperatures will decrease
1-3 degrees, mainly due to more cloud cover in the afternoon.
