| - | Message 1's have been issued for the entire District and will be valid until 10:00 PM. |
| - | A few storms have initiated along the higher terrain towards the west and south along the Palmer Divide. A boundary has set up from north to south from Brighton through Parker and is currently the focus point for stronger storm development this afternoon. Storm motions are generally expected from NW to SE between 5-10mph, however some storm motions today have been erratic as storms pulse up quickly, with additional storms developing off outflow boundaries which has increased the chance for brief heavy rainfall this afternoon and evening. |
| - | The best chance for storms will be from now through 10pm this evening with stronger storms capable of producing heavy rainfall that may lead to excessive runoff. The largest threat today will be a quick 0.5" in 10-15 minutes. The stronger storms will likely be isolated with best chances along and E of I-25 at this time. Storm chances taper off after 10pm as the overnight dries out with mild conditions expected into daybreak Saturday. |
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A slower moving or briefly anchored strong thunderstorm may produce rainfall amounts of up to 1.8" in 45-75 minutes.
