Internal Message Status
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
MESSAGE 1’S HAVE BEEN ISSUED EFFECTIVE UNTIL 9:00 PM
Message 1’s have been issued effective until 9pm as there is a
threat of heavy rainfall this afternoon and into this evening.
A few moderate to strong storms have formed along the foothills and
should begin moving into the District over the next hour or so.
Multiple rounds of showers/thunderstorms will be possible with the
last round likely tapering off by 9pm. The largest threat for storms
today will be a quick 0.50-0.60” in 10-15 minutes, with a low threat
for any rainfall over an inch as most storms move between 10-15mph.
These SW to NE storm motions should help limit point rainfall amounts,
however, a stronger storm has the potential to produce longer lasting
moderate to heavy rainfall. A gust front from a strong storm could
result in additional storm development with erratic or slower moving
storm motions throughout the District.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical showers will produce
rainfall of a 0.05” to 0.25” total in 10-30 minutes. Moderate to
strong showers/thunderstorms have the will produce rainfall of 0.25 to
0.75” total in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: Strong stationery, or training of thunderstorms
has the potential to produce 0.75” to 1.50” in under 60 minutes.

-------------------------
WARM TODAY WITH A CHANCE OF WIDESPREAD AFTERNOON/EVE SHOWERS &
THUNDERSTORMS
An approaching disturbance from the west will start to make its way
through Colorado today leading to a good chance for widespread showers
and thunderstorms this afternoon and into this evening. High
temperature today will reach the upper 80s to low 90s this afternoon.
Storms likely initiate along the higher terrain by midday and will
move out onto the plains between 1-3pm. There is a chance for multiple
rounds of storms today with storm chances tapering off by 9pm. A low
chance of storms become severe today, mainly for gusty winds and hail
up to 1” in diameter, favoring areas east of I-25. Typical storm
motions will be SW to NE around 10mph, with some erratic storm motions
possible due to storms forming along outflow boundaries. These outflow
storms will likely have the biggest threat for moderate to heavy
rainfall as they remain stationary at times. A quick 0.5” in 10-15
minutes will likely be the main concern, however a stalled-out storm
could produce isolated higher amounts.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical showers and weak
thunderstorms will produce rainfall of a 0.05” to 0.25” total in
10-30 minutes. Moderate to strong showers and thunderstorms Will
produce rainfall of 0.25” to 0.75” total in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: Strong stationary, or training of thunderstorms
has the potential to produce 0.75” to 1.50” in under 60 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: This disturbance starts to move into Wyoming overnight
tonight. This will keep storm chances in place for the District
tomorrow afternoon and evening, however the threat of heavy rainfall
should be minimal at best. Best chance for storms tomorrow will be
between 2-7pm with skies clearing out quickly in the evening hours.
Conditions start to dry out Tuesday behind a cold front that will drop
high temperatures back into the upper 70s to low 80s.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
HOT AGAIN WITH DRY CONDITIONS LIKELY
Very little change to the overall pattern today as southwesterly
flow aloft continues, resulting in dry conditions today. A very slight
chance for a few high-based showers/isolated thunderstorms along the
Continental Divide this afternoon and early evening with any
precipitation mixing out before moving into the District. High
temperatures this afternoon will reach the low to mid 90s. This
evening will continue mild and dry with overnight temperatures
dropping into the 60s.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No precipitation is expected
today or this evening.
A LOOK AHEAD: High pressure starts to break down tomorrow leading to a
good chance for widespread showers/thunderstorms with at least a LOW
chance for brief moderate to heavy rainfall within the District. At
this time, the largest threat would be a quick 0.5” in 10-15 minutes
as storm motions between 10-20mph are expected to help limit point
rainfall amounts. A couple of rounds of storms will be possible with
the first in the afternoon, likely between 1-4pm with another round
into the evening between 6-9pm. Skies will gradually clear overnight
tomorrow with mild conditions heading into Monday. A slight chance for
showers/isolated thunderstorms Monday, however, the threat of heavy
rainfall will be minimal at best.

ANOTHER HOT DAY WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR A FEW FOOTHILLS
SHOWERS/ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
South to southwesterly flow aloft will result in generally dry
conditions today. High temperatures this afternoon will reach the low
to mid 90s. A slight chance for a few high-based showers/isolated
thunderstorms along the foothills & Palmer Divide this afternoon and
early evening. A very slight chance is that one or two of these
showers will move into the metro area, however, with relatively dry
conditions most, if not all precipitation will struggle to reach the
surface this afternoon and evening. The best chance for any shower
activity will be between 4-8pm.
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 0.10-0.30”
total in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A strong, stationary thunderstorm, or training of
thunderstorm cells will have the potential to produce up to 0.60”
total in under 60.
A LOOK AHEAD: Hot again tomorrow with temperatures remaining in the
low to mid 90s. Another slight chance for a few isolated showers along
the foothills in the afternoon and early evening. Once again minimal,
if any, rainfall expected inside the District. A better chance for
more widespread showers/thunderstorms Sunday with a slight chance for
moderate to heavy rainfall within the District.
