Internal Message Status
Flash Flood Prediction Program

MESSAGE 1'S CONTINUE VALID
-Message 1's issued for the entire District will continue valid until 10:00 PM but may be rescinded early if conditions warrant.
-Thunderstorms west of the District diminished upon approach but sent a rain cooled outflow boundary eastward which triggered new thunderstorms over Weld County and southward over parts of Douglas and Elbert Counties. The majority of this thunderstorm activity has remained outside the District boundaries. Storms to the N have initiated a new gust front which is pushing southward and may trigger new storms over the next few hours.
-Thunderstorms if they develop will be slow moving or may anchor briefly resulting in a continued threat for heavy rain should a strong thunderstorm be observed. With cooler temperatures now in place the chance for strong thunderstorms is lower than earlier this afternoon and as temperatures continue to cool into the evening the chances for strong thunderstorms will continue to decrease.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Weak to moderate thunderstorms will have the potential to produce 0.1-0.4" in 10-30 minutes. Strong thunderstorms will have the potential to produce rainfall rates of 0.4-1.2" in 10-30 minutes.

WORST CASE SCENARIO: A slower moving or briefly anchored strong thunderstorm may produce rainfall amounts of up to 2.0" in 45-75 minutes.
