Flash Flood Prediction Program

-	NW upper-level flow aloft continues to dominate over the region today, combined with adequate surface moisture will bring a good chance for afternoon and early evening rain shower/isolated thunderstorms. High temperatures today will be in the upper 80's to low 90's across the plains with low to mid 80's along the foothills.
-	Storms will initiate over the higher terrain around midday today and will move out onto the plains between 2-4pm. Rain showers/isolated thunderstorms will generally move relatively quickly today from the W/NW to E/SE between 10-15mph which will help limit point rainfall amounts. A slower moving storm or training of thunderstorm cells cannot be completely ruled out today leading to a better chance for isolated heavy rainfall. Strong thunderstorms may also produce large hail, gusty straight-line winds and frequent lightning.
-	Shower and thunderstorm activity is expected to decrease by sunset but additional isolated rain showers and possibly a thunderstorm will remain possible until 9-10pm.

STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rain showers and weak to moderate thunderstorms will produce a trace to 0.3". Moderate to strong thunderstorms will have the potential to produce 0.3-0.8" in 10-30 mintues. Supplemental QPF is available at https://qpf.udfcd.org

WORST CASE SCENARIO: A large slower moving thunderstorm or training of thunderstorm cells may produce rainfall amounts of up to 1.4" in 45-60 minutes.

A LOOK AHEAD: This pattern will remain in place through the week with temperatures in the upper 80's to low 90's through Friday. A chance for rain showers/isolated thunderstorms during the afternoon/early evening through Friday as well.
