Internal Message Status
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
MESSAGE 1’S HAVE BEEN ISSUED EFFECTIVE UNTIL 9:00 PM
Message 1’s have been issued for the entire District effective
until 9:00pm as the threat of heavy rainfall has increased into the
late afternoon and evening. A few weak showers and thunderstorms moved
across the District this afternoon. A stronger line of showers and
thunderstorms is currently moving in from the SW and will progress
through the District over the next few hours. This line of storms will
have the potential to produce localized heavy rainfall leading to
isolated LOW IMPACT FLOODING for portions of the District. The main
threat will likely be a quick 0.4-0.6” in 10-15 minutes, rather than
long lasting heavy rainfall. Storms will generally move from the SW to
NE between 10-15mph, which should help limit point rainfall amounts,
although a gust front from a stronger storm will have the potential to
produce erratic storm movements from storms initiating off these
outflow boundaries. Storm chances will decrease after sunset with a
few lingering showers possible through 10pm.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical showers/weak
thunderstorms will produce a 0.05-0.30” total, in 10-30 minutes. A
moderate to strong shower/thunderstorm will produce 0.30-0.60” total
in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A strong, stationary thunderstorm, or training of
thunderstorm cells will have the potential to produce 0.60-1.20”
total in under 60 minutes.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
HOT TODAY WITH A GOOD CHANCE FOR AFTERNOON SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS
A southwesterly flow aloft will dominate over the region today ahead
of a weak disturbance that will move through this afternoon and
evening. This weak disturbance will bring a good chance for widespread
showers/thunderstorms starting around midday for the higher terrain
foothills with multiple rounds of showers/thunderstorms possible into
the evening hours, with chances likely tapering off between 9-10pm.
Typical storm motions will be from the SW to NE, between 10-15mph,
helping limit point rainfall amounts. However, stronger storms will
have the potential to produce outflow boundaries with some slower
moving storms along these boundaries. Due to dew points remaining in
the low to mid 50s through the morning, there will be at least a MOD
chance for Message 1s to be issued, mainly for the threat of a quick
0.5” in 10-15min from any outflow boundary induced storms.
Overnight will be breezy and dry with lows dropping into the low to
mid 60s on the plains with mid to upper 50s in the foothills.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical showers/weak
thunderstorms will produce a 0.05-0.25” total, in 10-30 minutes. A
moderate to strong shower/thunderstorm will produce 0.25-0.50” total
in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A strong, stationary thunderstorm, or training of
thunderstorm cells will have the potential to produce 0.50-1.00”
total in under 60 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: Not much overall change to the upper-level pattern
tomorrow bringing another chance for afternoon and evening
showers/isolated thunderstorms. An overall decrease in moisture, both
at the surface and aloft will result in a less chance for meaningful
storms. Conditions start to dry out on Sunday as high temperatures
remain in the 90s.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
STORMS HAVE STRENGTHENED ALONG THE FOOTHILLS AND COULD MOVE INTO THE
DISTRICT THIS EVENING
Dew points in the District have remained in the upper 40s to low 50s
which has increased the chance for some brief heavy rainfall into this
evening. Storms this afternoon have not lasted off the foothills,
however as we move into the evening, and we cool slightly, a better
chance these storms will continue to last into the District. Generally
storms will have the best chance of heavy rainfall for areas west of
I-25, although a gust front from a stronger storm could have the
potential to initiate additional storm storms throughout the District
into the evening. The biggest threat will be a quick 0.5” in 10-15
minutes, with storms likely pulsing up and down as they slowly
progress eastward. These slow storm motions, combined with dew points
in the around 50 degrees has resulted in a LOW chance of Message 1s to
be issued this evening.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical showers/weak
thunderstorms will produce a trace to 0.25” total, in 10-30 minutes.
A moderate to strong shower/thunderstorm will produce 0.25-0.50”
total in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A strong, stationary thunderstorm will have the
potential to produce 0.50-1.00” total in under 60 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: An overall increase in moisture in the area tomorrow
will likely bring a better chance for more widespread showers and
thunderstorms across the District as high temperatures remain in the
90s. Upper-level flow will shift southwesterly bringing a slight
chance for stronger storm development tomorrow, especially for areas
east of the I-25 corridor, which will likely result in a LOW chance
for Message 1s to be issued. Conditions dry out Saturday, however a
slight chance for a few high-based showers/isolated thunderstorms will
remain with minimal precipitation expected at this time.

ANOTHER HOT DAY WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR A FEW HIGH-BASED AFTERNOON
SHOWERS/ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
High-pressure continues to build over the region resulting in high
temperatures reaching the low to mid 90s this afternoon. Another
slight chance for a few high-based showers/isolated thunderstorms this
afternoon and early evening. Once again storms should stay mainly
along the foothills as most precipitation struggles to reach the
surface on the plains. This is in part due to the continued wide
temperature/dew point spread with high temperatures in the 90s and dew
points expected to mix out into the low to mid 40s throughout the day
today. Initial storm development will be along the Continental Divide
around midday and move onto the foothills between 12-1pm. The best
chance for storm activity within the District will be between 1-7pm
with skies gradually clearing through the evening. Overnight will be
breezy and dry with lows dropping into the 60s on the plains with
upper 50s to around 60 degrees in the foothills.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical showers/weak
thunderstorms will produce a trace to 0.10” total, in 10-30 minutes.
A moderate to strong shower/thunderstorm will produce 0.10-0.25”
total in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A strong thunderstorm will have the potential to
produce 0.25-0.75” total in 10-30 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: An overall increase in moisture in the area tomorrow
will likely bring a better chance for more widespread showers and
thunderstorms across the District as high temperatures remain in the
90s. Upper-level flow will shift southwesterly bringing a slight
chance for stronger storm development tomorrow, especially for areas
east of the I-25 corridor, which will likely result in a LOW chance
for Message 1s to be issued. Conditions dry out Saturday, however a

HOT TODAY WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR A FEW HIGH-BASED AFTERNOON
SHOWERS/ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
High-pressure continues to hold over the region today resulting in
high temperatures to reach the mid 90s this afternoon. A slight chance
for a few high-based showers/isolated thunderstorms this afternoon and
early evening, mainly along the foothills as most precipitation
struggles to reach the surface on the plains. This is in part due to
the wide temperature/dew point spread with high temperatures in the
90s and dew points expected to remain in the low to mid 40s throughout
the day today.
Initial storm development will be along the Continental Divide by
midday and move onto the foothills between 1-2pm. The best chance for
storm activity within the District will be between 2-7pm. General
storm motions will be from the N/NW to S/SE between 10-15mph with some
erratic storm movement possible if stronger storms are able to develop
and produce outflow boundaries, however, there will be a minimal
chance for any strong storm development today.
Overnight will be mild and dry with lows dropping into the 60s on the
plains with upper 50s to around 60 degrees in the foothills.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical showers/weak
thunderstorms will produce a trace to 0.10” total, in 10-30 minutes.
A moderate to strong shower/thunderstorm will produce 0.10-0.25”
total in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A strong thunderstorm will have the potential to
produce 0.25-0.75” total in 10-30 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: An overall decrease in moisture in the area tomorrow
will likely bring dry conditions across the District as high
temperatures remain in the 90s. A chance for afternoon and early
evening showers/isolated thunderstorms Friday as high temperatures
hold in the 90s. Similar conditions remain in place Saturday with
another chance for afternoon/evening showers/isolated thunderstorms
with high temperatures once again reaching the 90s.

ISOLATED AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
An upper-level disturbance and its associated cold front will work
its way across the High Plains this morning, followed by a chance for
scattered showers and storms. Afternoon temperatures will reach the
upper 70s to low 80s, with dew points in the upper 40s to around
50°F. Atmospheric conditions today are expected to remain stable,
limiting storm development across the District.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical showers will be weak,
producing rainfall of TR-0.25” total in 10-30 minutes. Stronger
storms have the potential to produce heavy rainfall of 0.25” to
0.50” total in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A strong thunderstorm may have the potential to
produce 0.50” to 1.00” in 60 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: Tomorrow morning will be mostly sunny followed by highs
in the upper 70s to low 80s and a slight chance for isolated afternoon
showers mainly over the foothills. A drying pattern will begin on
Tuesday as upper-level ridging expands into the Intermountain West.
Afternoon temperatures will reach the upper 80s to low 90s under sunny
skies. On Wednesday, high temperatures will climb into the low to mid
90s with clear skies.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
ISOLATED AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
West-southwesterly flow aloft has developed broadly across Colorado
as an upper-level disturbance traverses the Northern Plains. This
morning will be partly cloudy followed by high temperatures in the mid
to upper 80 with dew points in the upper 40s. Isolated to Scattered
showers and thunderstorms have already developed across the mountains
and will move east onto the Plains by late morning. Storm activity is
expected to move east by the early evening.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical showers will be weak,
producing rainfall of TR-0.25” total in 10-30 minutes. Stronger
storms have the potential to produce heavy rainfall of 0.25” to
0.50” total in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: Training thunderstorms have the potential to
produce 0.50” to 1.00” in 60 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: Tomorrow, an upper-level disturbance and its associated
cold front will bring a chance for scattered showers and storms across
the Front Range Urban Corridor. Afternoon temperatures will reach the
upper 70s to low 80s. Looking ahead, Monday morning will be mostly
sunny followed by highs in the upper 70s to low 80s and a slight
chance for isolated afternoon showers. A drying pattern will begin on
Tuesday as upper-level ridging expands into the Intermountain West.
