- | Message 1's for Adams, Arapahoe, Denver and Douglas Counties will be allowed to expire at 9:00 PM as the threat for heavy rainfall has decreased but rain showers and fast moving weak to moderate thunderstorms will continue overnight. |
- | Fast moving rain showers and weak to briefly moderate thunderstorms will continue likely through the overnight period with some snow for the higher foothills above 9k as a strong late season trough of low pressure continues to move through the District. |
- | The fast storm motions from SW to NE at 30-40mph will greatly reduce point rainfall amounts but training of thunderstorms may still result in the potential for heavy rainfall which will be monitored through the later evening and overnight period. Message 1's may need to be re-issued overnight if a worst case scenario plays out. |
WORST CASE SCENARIO: Training of moderate to strong thunderstorm cells may result in heavy rainfall of up to 1.2" in 45-90 minutes.
