Another Hot, Dry, and Smoky day.
Smoke from the Alexander Mountain wildfire in the Larimer County
foothills, and now the Stone Canyon wildfire in the Boulder County
foothills will be visible across the skies today as upper-level winds
carry smoke plumes southeast. High temperatures this afternoon will be
in the upper 90s, dewpoints around 30°F, and precipitable water
(PWAT) values around 0.45”. These conditions will support dry
weather today and tonight across the District. Overnight temperatures
will dip into the low to mid 60s with dry conditions persisting
tomorrow morning.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rainfall is not expected in the
District today.
A LOOK AHEAD: The long-range forecast remains somewhat underwhelming
with the arrival of an upper-level disturbance tomorrow. Atmospheric
moisture will increase slightly, resulting in PWAT values up to
0.75” and dew points in the mid 40s. No significant precipitation is
expected with this pattern, but there is a slight chance for isolated
showers and storms tomorrow and Friday.

Hot, Dry, and Smokey
Hot and dry conditions continue across the District today, along
with smoke skies from the Alexander Mountain wildfire in Larimer
County. High temperatures this afternoon will be around 100°F,
dewpoints in the mid 20s, and precipitable water (PWAT) values around
0.40”. These conditions will support dry weather today and tonight
across the District. Overnight lows will dip into the low to mid 60s
with dry conditions persisting tomorrow morning.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rainfall is not expected in the
District today.
A LOOK AHEAD: Tomorrow will be hot and dry with highs in the mid to
upper 90s. The long-range forecast remains somewhat underwhelming with
the arrival of an upper-level disturbance Thursday. Atmospheric
moisture will increase slightly, resulting in PWAT values up to
0.75” and dew points in the mid 40s. No significant precipitation
expected with this pattern, but there is a small chance for isolated
showers and storms during the afternoon and evening.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
Hot and dry across District
A ridge of high pressure over the south-central US will inch into
Colorado today, with west-southwest flow aloft bringing hot, dry
desert air into the region. Some seasonal convection over the high
country far outside of the District is possible, however the District
itself will remain dry. Temperatures will reach the mid 90s with a
slight breeze. Precipitable water (PWAT) values around 0.30" and
dewpoints below 20°F support one of the drier days of the year. Temps
tonight will drop into the low 60s as dry conditions continue.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rainfall is not expected in the
District today.
A LOOK AHEAD: This hot and dry trend will persist throughout at least
tomorrow, and is anticipated to remain unchanged Wednesday as well.
Temps tomorrow have potential to reach triple digits. Low-level
moisture upticks Thursday, returning the chances of storms in and
around the District.

Hot, Sunny and Dry Today
Westerly upper-level flow aloft today will result in hot, sunny, and
dry conditions throughout the day and likely through most of the week.
Temperatures will reach the mid to upper 90s this afternoon with low
60s overnight and into tomorrow. Winds will pick up slightly this
afternoon with gusts up to 20mph at times from the W/NW. Clear skies
this morning with a few scattered clouds in the afternoon and evening.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No precipitation is expected
within the District today or this evening.
A LOOK AHEAD: Slightly warmer tomorrow as high temperatures remain in
the mid to upper 90s. Hot and dry Tuesday & Wednesday with highs in
the upper 90s under mostly sunny skies. Similar conditions to start
the day Thursday, a slight uptick in moisture will bring a slight
chance for a few high-based showers and possibly an isolated
thunderstorm; However, most, if not all precipitation will struggle to
reach the surface.

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 rainfall has come to an end.
After a round of showers and thunderstorms early in the afternoon,
only a few very isolated showers persist west of the District. These
showers/thunderstorms should weaken and dissipate over the next
several hours creating minimal concern over point rainfall amounts.
Mild and dry conditions are expected overnight and into daybreak
tomorrow. Temperatures will drop into the mid to upper 50s for the
plains with low 50s along the foothills. Tomorrow looks to be much
drier with limited convection for the District, with Message chances
looking very unlikely.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: A weak shower would produce
between a trace and 0.10” total in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A stronger shower/thunderstorm develops will have
the potential to produce 0.10”-0.25” total in 10-30 minutes.

MESSAGE 1’S HAVE BEEN ISSUED EFFECTIVEUNTIL 9:00 PM
Storms have already started to impact portions of the foothills just
outside of the District. The best chance for storm activity within the
District will begin over the next hour with a chance for storms
lasting into the evening hours. Storm motions will generally be west
to east between 10-15mph, with some erratic storm motions likely from
outflow boundaries. This will result in some storms having the
potential to anchor in place with a threat for moderate to heavy
rainfall. A quick 0.50”-0.80” in 10-30 minutes is expected rather
than any long lasting rainfall. Storms today may also contain hail up
to 1.0”, gusty winds up to 50mph and frequent cloud-to-ground
lightning. A slight chance of showers lingers past sundown, although
the threat of heavy rainfall will likely subside by 8-9pm this
evening. Overnight temperatures will drop into the low 60s for the
plains with mid to upper 50s along the foothills.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical showers will produce
0.05-0.30" total in 10-30 minutes. A moderate to strong thunderstorm
will produce rainfall rates of 0.30”-0.80” total in 10-
30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A slow-moving thunderstorm, training of
thunderstorms cells or a large
thunderstorm complex may result in up to 1.20” of rain in 30-60
minutes.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
Another chance for isolated afternoon and early evening showers and
thunderstorms
A minimal change to the upper-level flow aloft will keep chances for
afternoon storm activity across portions of the District. Today’s
high temperatures will reach the low 90s in the afternoon under partly
cloudy skies.
Showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop along the higher
terrain foothills by midday with showers/thunderstorms moving into the
District between 1-2pm. A few elevated dew points remain for northern
portions of the District which will keep a chance for some brief
moderate to heavy rainfall today. The largest threat today will be a
quick 0.50” in 10-15 minutes rather than any long-lasting rainfall.
Once again, general storm motions will be from west to east between
10-15mph with a few erratic storms possible forming along outflow
boundaries. The best chance for storms within the District will be
between 2-8pm with a few lingering showers possible after sunset with
skies clearing out by midnight. Overnight will be mild and dry as
temperatures drop into the low 60s on the plains with mid to upper 50s
along the foothills.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical showers and
thunderstorms will produce 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 1.20” total in
30-60 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: The heat returns tomorrow as high temperatures jump back
into the mid to upper 90s. A slight chance for scattered high-based
showers, mainly along the foothills in the afternoon and early evening
with minimal, if any precipitation expected. Hot and dry Monday &
Tuesday with highs in the upper 90s under sunny skies.

A round of storms initiated along the foothills this afternoon
bringing some moderate to brief heavy rainfall with 0.30”-0.75”
total in 10-30 minutes for areas just west of the District. These
storms produced a strong gust front that moved eastwardly through the
District with gusts up to 35mph. This gust front pushed through the
District and resulted in a strong line of storms east of the District.
This line of storms will not move very much as storms pulse up along
the gust. This line of storms could potentially produce an additional
gust front which could move west and back into the District. This will
result in a slight chance for storms to develop within the District,
favoring eastern portions of the District at this time. This potential

moderate to heavy rainfall remains. Storm intensities will decrease
after sundown with a few off and on showers possible through midnight.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical showers and

moderate to strong shower/thunderstorm will produce 0.30”-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 1.20” total in
30-60 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: Not much overall change in the upper-level pattern
tomorrow will bring another chance for afternoon and evening
showers/thunderstorms. Slightly less overall moisture aloft will
decrease chances for moderate to heavy rainfall for the District
tomorrow. Similar high temperatures in the low 90s. The heat returns
Sunday with highs jumping back into the upper 90s. A slight chance for
high-based showers, mainly along the foothills in the afternoon and
early evening. Hot and dry Monday with highs in the upper 90s.
