Internal Message Status
Flash Flood Prediction Program

MESSAGE 1'S CONTINUE VALID FOR PORTIONS OF THE DISTRICT
-Message 1's issued earlier for Adams, Arapahoe/Aurora, Denver/DIA, and Douglas Counties will remain valid until 8pm this evening.
-The strongest thunderstorm activity has exited the District and remained well E of I-25 with weaker rain showers and isolated thunderstorms currently in/around the District. A stronger storm cannot be ruled out over the next few hours before the convective nature of the showers becomes more stratiform and a widespread rain develops this evening.
-Rain will be changing over to snow in the foothills above 8,000' by sunset and the snow line will slowly lower to around 6,000' by tomorrow morning, possibly as low as 5,000' briefly. As temperatures cool this evening and a more "upslope" flow develops the rain will be widespread but light to moderate resulting in minor runoff but no flash flood threat exists.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Weak to moderate thunderstorms will have the potential to produce 0.1-0.5" of rain in 10-30 minutes. Briefly strong thunderstorms will have the potential to produce 0.3-0.9" of rain in 10-30 minutes. Steady moderate to heavy non-thunderstorm rain may produce 0.4-1.2" in 45-75 minutes early this evening.

WORST CASE SCENARIO: Training of thunderstorm cells may produce up to 1.4" in 45-75 minutes.
