MESSAGE 1’S HAVE BEEN EXTENDED UNTIL 10:00 PM
Messages have been extended until 10pm as the threat of heavy rain
persists.
A gust front from the northeast is approaching the District at this
time. This gust has stirred up storms around Greeley and could also
initiate storms in the District over the next couple of hours.
Storms have not been that strong behind the gust front. However, a
pulse up thunderstorm with mid to upper level 50’s dew points could
result in a storm with quick 0.5” in 10-20 minutes. Typical storm
motions will be from west to east between 10-20mph, although, storms
could anchor in place behind this gust front.
There is a chance storms do not initiate behind this gust front within
the District, and IMS to end Messages earlier than 10pm may be
possible this evening.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical rain showers/weak
thunderstorms produce 0.20-0.40” total, 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 large thunderstorm or briefly anchored strong
thunderstorm may result in up to 2.0" of rain in 45-60 minutes.

-------------------------
MESSAGE 1’S HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR THE ENTIRE DISTRICT
Message 1’s have been issued for the entire District effective
until 800PM this evening.
Favorable conditions exist across the district for widespread
thunderstorm activity today, with dew points in the mid to upper 50s
and broad upper level support. A few isolated showers have already
initiated across the foothills and are starting to move east onto the
plains. Scattered to widespread showers and thunderstorms are likely
afternoon and into the late evening. The best chance for storms will
be from now through 800PM, with a slight chance Messages will need to
be extended if strong storms continue later than expected.
Storm motions will be relatively brisk from west to east between 25-35
mph, which should help limit point rainfall amounts, though a
slow-moving storm could result in heavy rains with runoff. Additional
storms may develop along a gusty outflow or surface boundaries. These
outflow or boundary storms will have the highest potential for 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 or briefly anchored strong
thunderstorm may result in up to 2.5" of rain in 45-60 minutes.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
ONE MORE ACTIVE DAY WITH THUNDERSTORMS CONTAINING HEAVY RAINFALL AND
HAIL THEN A DRIER WEATHER PATTERN WILL DEVELOP
Another active thunderstorm day in and around the District with
stronger storms very capable of producing brief heavy rainfall but a
drier weather pattern will unfold over the coming days. Temperatures
will continue to run below seasonal averages with afternoon highs in
the mid 70’s to around 80 over the plains. Normal high for Denver
today is 90 degrees.
Moisture remains abundant at the surface and aloft today with
precipitable water values at or above 1.0” and surface dew points
firmly in the 50’s. The available moisture will be fuel for
thunderstorms this afternoon and evening with some storms becoming
strong to severe producing brief heavy rainfall and hail. Daytime
heating will play a factor on when storms develop and exactly where
the stronger storms set up remains uncertain but will likely favor
areas E of I-25 (but could end up further west towards the base of the
foothills).
Storms will first initiate over the foothills by around noon and then
spread eastward onto the plains between 1-3pm strengthening as they do
so. Chances for thunderstorms will continue into the evening with
prime time from 2-10pm. After 10pm chances for showers and
thunderstorms diminish but remain possible through about midnight.
Storm motions are brisk from W to E or WNW to ESE at 20-25mph which
will help to reduce point rainfall amounts but large thunderstorms or
briefly anchored thunderstorms along surface wind convergence may
result in extended periods of heavy rainfall that may lead to
excessive runoff and possibly flash flooding. Message 1’s will
likely be issued by early afternoon.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Weak thunderstorms will produce
0.1-0.5” of rain. 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 briefly anchored
strong thunderstorm may result in up to 2.5” of rain in 45-60
minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: Conditions will begin to dry out on Sunday and Monday
with a low chance for isolated afternoon thunderstorms, favoring areas
near the foothills and over the Palmer Divide. Temperatures on Sunday
warm into the 80’s with low to mid 90’s on Monday over the plains.
Tuesday and Wednesday will continue to produce afternoon highs in the
90’s over the plains with plenty of sunshine and dry conditions
expected.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES WITH WIDELY SCATTERED AFTERNOON/EVENING
THUNDERSTORMS
A weak cold front moved through this morning and will keep
temperatures below normal once again with highs in the mid 70’s to
around 80 over the plains with 60’s and 70’s in the Front Range
foothills. Normal high for Denver today is 89 degrees.
Slightly drier air has intruded behind the cold front this morning
with surface dew points lowering into the upper 40’s to lower
50’s. The decrease in surface moisture will reduce the severity of
storms today and lower the heavy rainfall threat but not eliminate it.
Thunderstorms will develop over the foothills by around noon and then
push eastward onto the I-25 corridor between 1-3pm. Best chances for
widely scattered thunderstorms will be between 2-9pm. Strong
thunderstorms will have the potential to produce brief heavy rainfall,
hail and gusty winds. After 9pm conditions expected to dry out for the
remainder of the evening and overnight period.
Thunderstorms that develop today will be fast moving from W to E or
WNW to ESE at 20-30mph which will help to lower point rainfall amounts
and keep heavy rainfall brief for the most part. Thunderstorms that
form along surface wind convergence/outflow boundaries may move more
slowly/erratically and training of thunderstorm cells could result in
extended periods of moderate to heavy rainfall.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rain showers and weak
thunderstorms will produce 0.1-0.4” of rain. Moderate to strong
thunderstorms will have the potential to produce 0.4-1.0” in 10-30
minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: Slower moving thunderstorms or training of
thunderstorm cells may result in up to 1.8” of rain in 45-60
minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: Saturday will continue to feature a good chance for
afternoon/evening thunderstorms with the potential for heavy rainfall.
Temperatures will remain on the cool side with highs in the 70’s to
around 80 over the plains. A warmer and drier weather pattern will
begin to unfold on Sunday and continue through next week with
conditions feeling more like summer.

ALL CLEAR ISSUED AS THE THREAT FOR HEAVY RAIN HAS COME TO AN END
A few weak showers persist northwest of the District at this time
and will taper off over the next couple of hours.
A few off and on showers cannot be completely ruled out through
midnight, favoring northern areas of the District, before skies
gradually clear through the overnight.
Overnight lows will be in the mid 50’s to low 60’s, with dew
points around the same. This will result in areas of patchy to heavy
fog into the morning hours.
Much of the same tomorrow, a slightly better chance for a little more
sunshine, with storm intensities depending on if there is sufficient
daytime heating. Storms tomorrow may contain large hail, gusty winds,
and an isolated funnel/land spout.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Minimal, if any additional
rain, TR-0.10” as storm motions 25+ mph at this time.

MESSAGE 1’s CONTINUE TO BE VALID AS THE THREAT OF HEAVY RAIN REMAINS
Message 1’s will continue to be valid as the threat of heavy rain
remains until 10:00pm.
A few strong thunderstorms impacted eastern portions of the District
earlier this afternoon and evening and have since moved eastward and
onto the plains.
A slight chance remains for additional storm development through 10pm,
as upper-level support will hold over the area over the next couple of
days. However, cooler temperatures and losing daytime heating will
result in a lower chance for additional thunderstorms.
Another chance for late evening showers, and off and on overnight
showers into daybreak Friday. Quick storm motions, between 20-30mph
will limit point rainfall amounts. Similar conditions remain in place
Friday with another good chance for afternoon thunderstorms, with a
slight chance for severe storms with large hail, winds 60+mph and even
an isolated land spout/weak tornado or two.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical rain showers will
produce TR-0.25” total in 10-30 minutes. A weak to moderate
thunderstorm will produce 0.25-0.75” total in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A strong thunderstorm, or training of moderate
thunderstorm cells has the potential to produce 1.50” in up to 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 this evening.
Multiple ingredients are in place today for thunderstorms to become
strong to severe in and around the District. The first storms are
beginning to develop over the foothills and these initial storms may
dissipate as the air mass is still a little cool to support surface
based convection over the plains. As the afternoon progresses storms
are expected to blossom and become scattered producing brief heavy
rainfall, hail, gusty winds and possibly a very isolated tornado.
Typical storms will move from W to E or NNW to ESE at 20-25mph with
stronger storms possibly splitting and moving more slowly/erratically.
Fast storm motions will help to reduce point rainfall amounts, but a
large thunderstorm or training of thunderstorm cells could produce
extended periods of heavy rainfall that may lead to excessive runoff
and possibly flash flooding.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rain showers and weak
thunderstorms will produce 0.1-0.5” of rain. 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 slower moving large thunderstorm or training of
thunderstorm cells may result in up to 2.5” of rain in 45-75
minutes.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
WARMER WITH AFTERNOON/EVENING THUNDERSTORMS PRODUCING BRIEF HEAVY
RAINFALL AND SEVERE WEATHER
The low clouds and fog from earlier this morning is burning off
quickly and with more sunshine today temperatures will warm into the
70’s over the District. Normal high for Denver today is 89 degrees.
The additional heating and abundant surface moisture in place will
result in stronger thunderstorms today in and around the District.
Thunderstorms will first develop over the foothills between noon and
1pm, then move onto the plains between 1-3pm. Chances for
thunderstorms are expected to continue well into the evening with
multiple rounds of storms possible. Prime time for thunderstorms is
from 2pm-midnight. Additional rain showers will continue possible
beyond midnight with conditions drying out overnight.
Stronger storms that develop today will have the potential to produce
brief heavy rainfall and become severe with large hail and possibly a
very isolated tornado. Typical storms will move from W to E or NNW to
ESE at 20-30mph with stronger storms possibly moving more
slowly/erratically. Fast storm motions will help to reduce point
rainfall amounts but a large thunderstorm or training of thunderstorm
cells could produce extended periods of heavy rainfall that may lead
to excessive runoff and possibly flash flooding. Message 1’s will
likely be issued by early afternoon and continue well into the
evening.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rain showers and weak
thunderstorms will produce 0.1-0.5” of rain. 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 slower moving large thunderstorm or training of
thunderstorm cells may result in up to 2.2” of rain in 45-60
minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: A couple more active thunderstorm days are expected on
Friday and Saturday then chances for thunderstorms decrease Sunday and
Monday may end up being on the drier side. Storms that develop Friday
and Saturday will continue to have the potential to become
strong/severe with brief heavy rainfall and hail. Temperatures will be
running either side of 80 degrees for afternoon highs over the plains.

Internal Message Status
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
MESSAGE 1’S WILL BE ALLOWED TO EXPIRE AT 10:00 PM
Message 1’s will be allowed to expire at 10:00 pm as the threat of
heavy rain has come to an end.
A few showers and a weak thunderstorm or two will be possible over the
next few hours as the tail end of today’s disturbance continues
eastward. Storms will favor northern portions of the District through
midnight. Quick storm motions from west to east, between 20-30 mph
will limit any point rainfall amounts. After midnight, storm chances
taper off with a few off and on showers possible through daybreak
tomorrow.
Overnight lows will remain in the mid to upper 50’s across most of
the District. Temperatures should warm a bit more tomorrow with a
better chance of some sunshine during the morning. Warmer daytime
temperatures tomorrow will increase storm potential into the afternoon
and early evening hours.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical showers will produce a
trace to 0.20” total, in 10-30 minutes. A weak thunderstorm could
produce 0.20-0.40” total, in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A moderate to strong thunderstorm has the
potential to produce up to 0.80” total, in 45-60 minutes.

Internal Message Status
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
MESSAGE 1'S HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR THE ENTIRE DISTRICT
Message 1’s have been issued for the entire District and will be
valid until 10:00 PM.
Cool temperatures have suppressed thunderstorm activity over the
District so far today but stronger storms have developed to the W/SW
of the District and with abundant moisture in place should these
storms survive they will be capable of producing brief heavy rainfall.
With the ground at or near saturation for many areas of the District
due to rainfall yesterday it may not take as much rain today to
produce excessive runoff and possibly flash flooding.
Typical thunderstorms will move from W to E at around 20mph with
stronger storms potentially moving more slowly or erratically along
outflow boundaries. A large thunderstorm or training of thunderstorm
cells will be the likely culprit for extended periods of heavy
rainfall. Strong thunderstorms may also contain large hail. Best
chances for thunderstorms will be through 10:00 PM. Should
thunderstorm activity linger past 10:00 PM Message 1’s may need to
be extended.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rain showers and weak
thunderstorms will produce 0.1-0.5” of rain. 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 or training of thunderstorm
cells may result in up to 2.3” of rain in 45-75 minutes.
