Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program

Isolated Showers and Thunderstorms this Afternoon and Evening
Springtime weather continues today as a series of upper-level disturbances propagate across the Intermountain West. Afternoon highs will reach the upper 60s to low 70s, dewpoints in the mid to upper 30s. Chances for isolated showers and thunderstorms improve this afternoon and evening with minimal precipitation expected. Winds will be from the northwest between 5-15 mph, gusts up to 30 mph. Quick storm motions and limited atmospheric moisture will restrict point rainfall amounts. Skies will gradually clear overnight.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical showers will produce light rainfall of up to 0.10” total in 15-30 minutes.

WORST CASE SCENARIO: A strong thunderstorm has the potential to produce up to 0.20” total rainfall 15-30 minutes.

A LOOK AHEAD: Tomorrow, afternoon highs will reach the mid to upper 60s with winds from the east between 5-10 mph, gusts as high as 20 mph. Chances for isolated showers and thunderstorms will improve during the afternoon and through the evening. Minimal precipitation is expected.
