Flash Flood Prediction Program

The heat dome currently centered over the 4-corners region will continue to support hot conditions though the remainder of the week and into the weekend. Today will be hot and partly to mostly sunny with afternoon temperatures climbing into the low to mid 90s, dew points in the low 40s, followed isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms. Storms will roll off the foothills during the early afternoon hours, moving east around 25-30 MPH. Fast storm motions will limit point rainfall amounts. Thunderstorm activity is expected to subside across the Front Range Urban Corridor by the evening.

STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical thunderstorms will produce moderate rainfall of up to 0.25” in 10-30 minutes. Strong thunderstorms have the potential to produce heavy rainfall up to 0.50” in 10-30 minutes.

WORST CASE SCENARIO: Anchored or training thunderstorms have the potential to produce 0.50” to 1.00” in 60 minutes.

A LOOK AHEAD: Very little change in the weather pattern tomorrow with highs in the 90s along with a chance for afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Saturday will be similar, with highs in the mid to upper 90s and isolated showers and thunderstorms. Hot temperatures and isolated to scattered thunderstorm activity will continue into Sunday and early next week.
