Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
Hot, with isolated afternoon showers and thunderstorms.
It’s going to be another sweltering hot and sunny day as the heat
wave remains parked over the Four-Corners region. Above normal
afternoon temperatures in the mid to upper 90s are expected broadly
across the District, with some areas exceeding 100°F. Dewpoints will
be in the mid 30s, with precipitable water (PWAT) values around
0.60”. Isolated afternoon and early evening showers and
thunderstorms are possible as a weak upper-level disturbance moves
across the High Plains. Dry and hot surface conditions will encourage
light rainfall and gusty down bursts up to 60 mph beneath storms.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical storms will produce a
trace to 0.10” in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A slow moving strong thunderstorm may be capable
of producing up to 0.50” in 45-60 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: The heat wave begins to recede tomorrow with the arrival
of a cold front and cut-off upper level low. Temperatures will reach
the mid 80s, dew points in the 50s, and precipitable water (PWAT)
values around 1.00”. These conditions support chances for scattered
to widespread organized convection developing by the afternoon. A few
storms may be capable of producing heavy rainfall across the District.
Storms will quickly move northeast, exiting the area by the early
evening.

Isolated showers and thunderstorms have developed along the foothills
Showers and thunderstorms have developed along portions of the
foothills and are moving into the District. Afternoon temperatures
have reached the mid 90s, dew points in the mid 30s. Upper level
support remains weak, so organized convection is not expected. These
relatively dry conditions will favor isolated storms capable of
producing light rainfall and gusty winds. Storm motions will be from
west to east around 20 mph.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical storms will produce a
trace to 0.10” in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A slow moving strong thunderstorm may be capable
of producing up to 0.50” in 45-60 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: Thursday will be similar as sweltering conditions
persist. Highs will once again reach the mid 90s under sunny skies,
followed by slight chances for isolated afternoon to evening showers
and thunderstorms. The heat wave begins to recede Friday with the
arrival of a cold front. Highs will reach the mid to upper 80s with
chances for scattered to widespread showers and thunderstorms
developing by the afternoon. A few storms may become severe, producing
gusty outflows exceeding 58 mph and/or hail greater than 1 inch in
diameter. The active pattern continues Saturday as highs reach the
upper 80s to low 90s with slight chances for isolated afternoon and
evening showers and thunderstorms.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
Hot and dry conditions across the district today
Today will be exceptionally hot as a heat wave advances north into
the region. Afternoon temperatures will soar into the low to mid 90s
under clear and sunny skies, dew points in the low to mid 30s, and
precipitable water (PWAT) values around 0.70”. Dry air aloft and
poor upper-level support will inhibit storm development.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rainfall is not expected in the
District today
A LOOK AHEAD: Thursday will be similar as sweltering conditions
persist. Highs will once again reach the mid 90s under sunny skies,
followed by slight chances for isolated afternoon to evening showers
and thunderstorms. The heat wave begins to recede Friday with the
arrival of a cold front. Highs will reach the mid to upper 80s with

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
Slight chances for isolated afternoon to evening showers and
thunderstorms
Drier air aloft is moving into Colorado from the northwest today as
warmer surface conditions continue to build into the region from the
south. Afternoon highs will reach the mid to upper 80s, dew points in
the upper 40s to low 50s, and precipitable water (PWAT) values around
0.85”. These temperatures and moisture values favor heavy rainfall
across the District, but a drying mid-level and weak upper-level flow
will discourage organized convection.
Due to these conflicting forces, there is still some uncertainty about
the rainfall forecast today. However, heavy precipitation is still
possible if afternoon orographic convection sufficiently erodes the
capping inversion. If this scenario resolves, isolated storms are
possible across the District, with the best chances south of i-70.
Storm motions will be from west to east around 10 mph. Storms will
begin clearing by the early evening, with precipitation concluding by
the mid to late evening.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical showers could produce
0.25”-0.50” total in 15-30 minutes. Stronger storms have the
potential to produce 0.50-0.75” in 15-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: Stronger, slow-moving storms may produce moderate
to briefly heavy rainfall up to 1.50” in 60 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: Tomorrow will be exceptionally hot as a ridge of highs
pressure advances north. Afternoon temperatures will soar into the mid
90s under sunny skies. Thursday will be similar as sweltering
conditions persist. Highs will once again reach the mid 90s under
sunny skies, followed by slight chances for isolated afternoon to
evening showers and thunderstorms.

-------------------------
MESSAGE 1’S WILL BE ALLOWED TO EXPIRE AT 11:59PM
Message 1’s will be allowed to expire at 11:59pm as the threat of
heavy rain has come to an end.
A few moderate to strong storms have impacted portions of the District
late this evening. A few showers with some thunder persist for
southeastern portions of the District and will continue to meander
southeast and out of the District over the next hour or so.
Skies will gradually clear through the rest of the evening with clear
skies expected during the overnight. Overnight lows will drop into the
upper 50s on the plains with low 50s along the foothills. Excess
moisture at the surface could result in foggy conditions during the
morning hours tomorrow which should quickly burn off after sunrise.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No additional rainfall is
expected within the District once these showers move out.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A shower or isolated thunderstorm is able to
develop and would have the potential to produce between a trace and
0.25" total in 10-30 minutes.

-------------------------
MESSAGE 1’S HAVE BEEN ISSUED EFFECTIVE UNTIL 11:59 PM
Message 1’s have been issued for the entire District effective
until 11:59pm as the threat of heavy rainfall has returned.
Gusts fronts from stronger storm development has initiated storms
around the Boulder/NW Jeffco area this evening. These storms are very
pulse like and have produced brief heavy rainfall just outside of the
District between 0.40-0.50” in 10-15 minutes. This has resulted in
the reissuance of Message 1s across the District as additional storms
have started to fire along norther portions of the District.
Storms that develop will contain moderate to brief heavy rainfall at
times, with the largest threat being a quick 0.5” in 10-15 minutes,
rather than any long-lasting rainfall. Storms motions have been
minimal as most storms have been forming along outflow boundaries.
General storm motions will continue to be SE between 10-15mph, with
erratic storm movement likley to continue.
By midnight skies should gradually clear as skies stabilize through
the overnight. Overnight lows will drop into the mid to upper 50s with
some patchy fog possible in the early morning hours.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical showers and isolated
thunderstorms will produce a 0.05-0.25” total in 10-30 minutes. A
moderate to strong/severe shower/thunderstorm will produce
0.25-0.75” 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 1.75”
total in under 60 minutes.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
Additional storm development to the north could impact portions of the
District later this evening.
Strong storms to the northeast have produced gust fronts across
norther Colorado this evening. A strong storm has initiated in the
Fort Collins Area and could potentially produce additional storms
favoring northern portions of the District over the next few hours.
These storms have continued to be moderate to strong with isolated
pockets of heavy rain. Storm movement has remained quick, between
15-25mph helping limit point rainfall amounts. However, a stronger
storm formed along a gust front will still have the potential to
produce a quick 0.5”-0.75” in 10-30 minutes. This has resulted in
a LOW chance Messages will be issued over the next couple of hours,
possibly extending until midnight.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical showers and isolated
thunderstorms will produce a 0.05-0.25” total in 10-30 minutes. A
moderate to strong/severe shower/thunderstorm will produce
0.25-0.75” 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 1.75”
total in under 60 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: Skies will gradually clear overnight with warmer
temperatures tomorrow as highs are expected to be well into the 80s. A
slight chance for showers/isoalted thunderstorms tomorrow, mainly for
areas along and south of the Palmer Divide.

MESSAGE 1’S HAVE BEEN ISSUED EFFECTIVE UNTIL 8:30 PM
Message 1’s have been issued for the entire District effective
until 8:30pm as the threat of heavy rainfall with a slight chance for
severe storms, favoring eastern portions of the District. Sever storms
may contain large hail up to 1.0” and gusty winds 60+ mph.
The best chance for any shower/thunderstorm activity within the
District will be between NOW-8:30pm with a few lingering showers
possible through 9:00-10:00pm. The best chance for heavy rainfall will
be during this initial round of storms, with storm intensities
decreasing into the evening hours. Storm motions will be northwest to
southeast between 10-20mph which could limit point rainfall amounts.
However, outflow boundaries will likely produce some erratic storm
movement which will increase chances for brief heavy rainfall.
Skies will clear this evening with dry conditions expected through the
overnight as temperatures drop into the mid to upper 50s on the plains
with upper 40s to around 50 degrees along the foothills.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical showers and isolated
thunderstorms will produce a 0.05-0.40” total in 10-30 minutes. A
moderate to strong/severe shower/thunderstorm will produce
0.40-1.20” 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 2.25”
total in under 60 minutes.

thunderstorms.
High-pressure continues to build over the District this morning,
slowly moving easterly resulting in upper-level winds shifting
northwesterly this afternoon. This shift in upper-level dynamics will
effectively help storm motions today from the NW to SE between
10-20mph, limiting any long-lasting moderate to heavy rainfall.
However, with dew points still in the mid to upper 50s, a couple of
stronger storms will have the potential to produce outflow boundaries
today, bringing another chance for some erratic/stationary storm
motions leading to another chance for a few isolated heavy showers
this afternoon and into the early evening.
The best chance for storm activity this afternoon and early evening
will be between 2-9pm. The initial round of storms will likely be the
strongest during the afternoon today, bringing the best chance of
impactful rainfall producing storms, possibly severe, with another
chance for an additional round of showers in the evening before skies
clear through the overnight. Temperatures overnight will drop into the
upper 50s to around 60 degrees on the plains with upper 40s to around
50 degrees along the foothills.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical showers and isolated
thunderstorms will produce a 0.05-0.40” total in 10-30 minutes. A
moderate to strong/severe shower/thunderstorm will produce
0.40-0.80” 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 1.60”
total in under 30 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: Conditions start to dry out Tuesday with just a typical
chance for springtime afternoon showers/isolated thunderstorms.
Wednesday is expected to be even drier with minimal, if any, chance
for precipitation at this time across the District.

Internal Message Status
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
MESSAGE 1’S WILL BE ALLOWED TO EXPIRE AT 9:00 PM
Message 1’s will be allowed to expire at 9pm as the threat of
heavy rain has come to an end.
Stronger storms that formed inside the District have dissipated and
are no longer a threat. A few lingering showers are moving off the
foothills currently and are struggling to hold together as the airmass
above the District is fairly stable at this time. A few showers could
persist over the next couple of hours bringing some additional
rainfall, however the threat for any heavy rainfall has ended as
temperatures also have cooled into the 60s.
Skies will gradually clear through the rest of the evening with clear
skies expected during the overnight. Overnight lows will drop into the
upper 50s on the plains with low 50s along the foothills. Excess
moisture at the surface could result in foggy conditions during the
morning hours tomorrow which should quickly burn off after sunrise.
Tomorrows will be similar with another chance for moderate to heavy
rain in the afternoon and early evening as thunderstorms once again
impact the District.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: A few lingering showers will
have potenial to produce T-0.20" total in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: In the event an isolated stronger shower or
thunderstorm develops, 0.20"-0.40” total is possible in 10-30
minutes.
