MESSAGE 1’S WILL BE ALLOWED TO EXPIRE AT 7:00 PM
Message 1’s will be allowed to expire at 7:00pm as the threat of
heavy rainfall has come to an end.
A round of moderate to heavy showers impacted northern portions of the
District this afternoon and have since moved well onto the eastern
plains. Breezy and dry conditions are expected through the rest of the
evening. A slight chance for an additional round of showers late this
evening/overnight, likely bringing minimal additional rainfall across
the District.
Overnight temperatures will decrease into the low 60s for the plains
with mid to upper 50s along the foothills. Slightly drier conditions
move into the region tomorrow, however, a continued chance for a few
late afternoon and early evening showers/thunderstorms. High
temperatures tomorrow will also be similar, in the low 90s.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: A weak to moderate shower will
produce a trace to 0.20” total in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A moderate to strong shower/thunderstorm will
have the potential to produce 0.20”-0.40” total in 10-30 minutes.

MESSAGE 1’S HAVE BEEN ISSUED EFFECTIVE UNTIL 7:00 PM
Storms have started to initiate along the foothills and will start
moving into the District over the next hour. Temperatures today
reached the mid to upper 80s, combined with dew points in the low to
mid 50s, storms today could potentially produce moderate to brief
heavy rainfall.
Storm motions will be from west to east, generally between 10-15mph
with some erratic storm movement possibly along outflow boundaries.
These outflow storms will likely have the most potential for heavy
rainfall with a quick 0.5” in 10-20 minutes rather than any
long-lasting rainfall. Storms may also contain hail up to 1.0”,
frequent cloud-to-ground lightning and gusty winds up to 60mph.
One round of showers and thunderstorms with moderate to heavy rainfall
is expected today, with skies likely clearing out by sundown. A slight
chance for a few overnight showers 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/thunderstorms
will produce a 0.05-0.30" total in 10-30 minutes. A moderate to strong
thunderstorm will produce rainfall rates of 0.30”-0.70” total in
10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A slow-moving stationary thunderstorm, training
of thunderstorms cells or a large thunderstorm complex may result in
up to 1.40” total rain in under 60 minutes.

Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
Isolated to Scattered Afternoon and Evening Showers and Thunderstorms
High pressure ridging continues to transport Monsoonal moisture into
the Four-Corners region, supporting isolated to scattered storms this
week and through the weekend. Today, a trough moving over the west
coast will amplify the ridge over the Central Plains, creating a
capping inversion across the District. This inversion will inhibit
storm development until the mid to late afternoon, resulting in
isolated to scattered storm coverage. High temperatures will be around
90°F, with dewpoints in the low 50s and precipitable water (PWAT)
values around 1.05”. Storm motions will be from west to east around
20-25 mph. Quick storm motions will help limit point rainfall amounts.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Showers and thunderstorms today
have the potential to produce between 0.30”-0.70” in 10-30
minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A strong thunderstorm, or slower moving storm,
may be capable of producing 1.50” or more in 30-60 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: Saturday will be warm with highs around 90°F once again
and slight chances for isolated showers and thunderstorms. Very little
change to this pattern is expected on Sunday as highs hover around
90°F with chances for isolated showers and thunderstorms.

MESSAGE 1’S WILL BE ALLOWED TO EXPIRE AT 10:00 PM
Message 1’s will be allowed to expire at 10:00pm as the threat of
heavy rainfall has come to an end.
A single round of moderate to heavy showers impacted portions of the
District this afternoon and early evening. Shower and thunderstorm
activity has since moved northeastward and out of the District. No
showers remain westward of the district. A very slight chance remains
for an isolated shower to form and move into the District bringing
minimal additional rainfall.
Temperatures overnight will decrease into the low 60s for the plains
with mid to upper 50s along the foothills. Drier conditions move into
the region tomorrow, keeping only a slight chance for a few
afternoon/evening showers and possibly an isolated thunderstorm or
two. High temperatures tomorrow will also increase, likely jumping
back into the upper 80s to the low 90s.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: A weak shower will produce a
trace to 0.10” total in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A stronger shower will have the potential to
produce 0.10-0.25” total in 10-30 minutes.

-------------------------
Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
Scattered to Widespread Thunderstorms today.
Monsoonal moisture and cloud cover will play a significant role in
storm development today. High temperatures will reach the mid 80s with
dewpoints in the low 50s and precipitable water (PWAT) values around
1.00”. Due to early morning cloud cover, convection initiation is
expected to begin during the midafternoon. Slower upper-level steering
winds will support clustered thunderstorms today, moving west to east
around 15 mph. Slower storm movements may result in higher point
rainfall amounts.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Showers and thunderstorms today
have the potential to produce between 0.50”-1.00” in 10-30
minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A strong thunderstorm complex may be capable of
producing 1.50” or more in 30 minutes or less.
A LOOK AHEAD: By Friday, a trough moving over the west coast will
amplify the ridge over the Central Plains, creating a capping
inversion across the District. This inversion will result in highs
around 90°F and isolated storm coverage capable of producing light to
briefly moderate precipitation.

Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
Isolated to Scattered Storms this afternoon and evening.
A more active pattern emerges today as a weak shortwave trough moves
across far northwest Colorado. Isolated to scattered showers and
thunderstorms are likely during the afternoon and evening, with a
modest severe weather threat. High temperatures will be around 90°F
with dewpoints in the upper 40s and precipitable water (PWAT) values
around 0.75”. Storm motions will be from west to east around 15-20
mph broadly across the District.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Showers and thunderstorms today
have the potential to produce between a trace to 0.50” in 10-30
minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A strong thunderstorm may be capable of producing
0.75” or more in 30 minutes or less.
A LOOK AHEAD: Thursday will be similar to Wednesday, with scattered
showers and thunderstorms expected throughout the day. Early
convection may limit afternoon temperatures to the upper 80s across
the plains. Better atmospheric moisture will support slightly higher
rainfall amounts.

WORST CASE SCENARIO: A strong thunderstorm may be capable of producing
0.40” or more in 30 minutes or less.
A LOOK AHEAD: On Wednesday, a weak shortwave trough will move across
far northwest Colorado, bringing scattered showers and thunderstorms
during the afternoon and evening. Temperatures will remain in the 90s.
Thursday will be similar to Wednesday, with scattered showers and
thunderstorms expected throughout the day. Early convection may limit
afternoon temperatures to the upper 80s across the plains.

MESSAGE 1’S WILL BE ALLOWED TO EXPIRE AT 9:30 PM
Message 1’s will be allowed to expire at 9:30pm as the threat of
heavy rainfall has come to an end.
A couple of rounds of moderate to heavy showers impacted portions of
the District this afternoon and early evening. Shower and thunderstorm
activity has since moved eastward and out of the District. A few
showers and isolated thunderstorms persist for areas north of the
District and should remain north as they continue to move eastward. A
very slight chance for a few showers to make it into northern portions
of the District bringing minimal additional rainfall.
Temperatures overnight will decrease into the low 60s for the plains
with mid to upper 50s along the foothills. Drier conditions move into
the region tomorrow, keeping only a slight chance for a few late
evening showers and possibly a thunderstorm or two. High temperatures
tomorrow will also increase, likely jumping back into the 90s.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: A weak shower will produce a
trace to 0.10” total in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A moderate to strong shower/thunderstorm will
have the potential to produce 0.10-0.30” total in 10-30 minutes.

MESSAGE 1’S HAVE BEEN ISSUED EFFECTIVE UNTIL 9:30 PM
A couple of thunderstorms have developed along the higher terrain
foothills and Palmer Divide and are expected to slowly move into the
District over the next hour or two. Temperature have reached the mid
to upper 80s already despite the cloud cover this morning, combined
with dew points around 50 degrees, with pockets of mid 50s, should
provide enough heat and moisture for moderate to heavy rainfall today.
Typical storms motions will be from the SW to NE between 10-15mph,
which could help limit some point rainfall amounts. However,
additional storms will likely develop along outflow boundaries today,
leading to an increased chance of heavy rainfall with localized
flooding this afternoon and early evening. The best chance for
shower/thunderstorm activity will be in the next hour, lasting until
sundown before skies gradually start to clear into the later evening.
Storms today may also contain gusty winds, up to 60mph and medium to
large hail up to 1.0” with severe storms possible, favoring areas
east of I-25 and out on the eastern plains.
Overnight conditions will be mild and dry as temperatures drop into
the low 60s on the plains with mid to upper 50s along the foothills.
Conditions dry out tomorrow with high temperatures jumping back into
the 90s.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical showers/thunderstorms
will produce a 0.30-0.80" total in 10-30 minutes. A moderate to strong
thunderstorm will produce rainfall rates of 0.80”-1.50” 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 2.25” total rain in 60-90 minutes.
