Flash Flood Prediction Program

-	Message 1's have been issued for Arapahoe and Douglas Counties and will be valid until 9:00pm this evening. Additional Message 1's may be issued for the remainder of the District later this afternoon.
-	Thunderstorms have developed over south/southeast areas of the District where there was more sunshine which allowed for better surface heating this morning. These storms have the potential to produce heavy rainfall that may lead to excessive runoff. Strongest storms are currently in and around Aurora Reservoir and will be tracking E/NE out of the District over the next 60-90 minutes. Hail may also accompany the stronger thunderstorm cells.
-	Storm motions will generally be from west to east at 15-20mph. Stronger thunderstorms may anchor briefly or have erratic storm movements at times due to outflow boundaries/gust fronts.

STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical rain showers and weak thunderstorms will produce a 0.1-0.3" of rain. Moderate to strong thunderstorms will have the potential to produce 0.3-0.8" in 10-30 minutes.

WORST CASE SCENARIO: A stalled out thunderstorm along an outflow boundary may result in up to 1.6" of rain in 60 minutes or less.
