MESSAGE 1'S CONTINUE VALID, HEAVY RAINFALL THREAT DIMINISHING
-Message 1's will continue valid although the threat for heavy rainfall is diminishing now that temperatures are cooling.
-Strong/slow moving thunderstorms concentrated just S and W of the District over Clear Creek County earlier this afternoon and more recently over SE Douglas County. Currently there is a gust front travelling northward from the Douglas County storms but is failing to initiate new thunderstorms with temperatures now in the 80's.
-There is weak thunderstorm activity to the NW of the District at this time and should these storms survive their journey E/SE into the District or interact with the boundary moving northward heavy rainfall may still occur in areas that have had minimal storm activity up to this point. However, with the cooling temperatures thunderstorms will likely not be as strong as earlier in the day but it will not necessarily require a strong thunderstorm to produce brief heavy rainfall.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Weak to moderate thunderstorms will produce 0.1-0.5" in 10-30 minutes. Strong thunderstorms have the potential to produce 0.5-1.5" of heavy rain in 10-30 minutes.

WORST CASE SCENARIO: A nearly stationary strong thunderstorm may result in up to 2.5" in 60 minutes or less.
