Flash Flood Prediction Program

Time: 809 AM Sun July 11, 2021 Forecaster: Brad Simmons ------------------------- Heavy Precipitation Outlook Flash Flood Prediction Program ------------------------- SUNNY AND DRY BUT HAZY... - Conditions will be completely dry over the District today with virtually cloud free skies but there will be plenty of haze due to smoke from multiple wildfires to the NW of Colorado. The haze will impact visibility and likely result in some extra color at sunset if anything positive can be said for smoke in the sky. - No precipitation is expected within the District and over the entire state for that matter! One of the few days this summer when the entire state is likely storm free. - Temperatures will be warming back into the upper 80's to lower 90's for highs over the plains with 70's and 80's in the Front Range foothills. STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No precipitation today or tonight. A LOOK AHEAD: On Monday isolated afternoon thunderstorms return to the District with temperatures warming into the mid and upper 90's for highs. Storms that develop Monday will generally produce minimal rainfall and gusty winds. A little cooler Tuesday mainly due to increased cloud cover earlier in the day. An uptick in moisture is expected and will lead to more numerous afternoon and evening thunderstorms. Some storms may become strong to severe and have the potential to produce brief heavy rain.
