Flash Flood Prediction Program

Time: 813 AM Mon June 21, 2021 Forecaster: Brad Simmons ------------------------- Heavy Precipitation Outlook Flash Flood Prediction Program ------------------------- UNSEASONABLY COOL AND DRY - Temperatures will be unseasonably cool today behind last evenings cold front with highs in the 70's over the plains with 60's in the Front Range foothills. Normal high for Denver today is 85 degrees. The rain shower activity has shifted south of the District with dry conditions expected for the remainder of the day. Cloud cover this morning will dissipate giving way to mostly sunny skies this afternoon. STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No precipitation expected today or tonight. A LOOK AHEAD: Enjoy the cooler than normal temperatures while they last as the cool airmass quickly retreats on Tuesday with highs warming right back into the 90's. Dry Tuesday with abundant sunshine but there will likely be some haze/smoke due to multiple wildfires burning to our west. Temperatures will peak on Wednesday in the upper 90's to around 100 with dry conditions expected but if you are lucky a high based gusty sprinkle or weak thunderstorm may be observed providing a bit of relief from the heat for some in the afternoon. Cooler Thursday behind a weak front with highs in the 80's. There will be more moisture to work with and a very good chance for most areas to see an afternoon thunderstorm or two. Some storms could become strong to severe with the potential for heavy rainfall. MONITOR NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FOR SEVERE WEATHER STATEMENTS.
