- | Monsoon moisture continues to stream into Colorado from the SSW resulting in multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms today with the potential for heavy rainfall. |
- | Moisture is abundant at both the surface and aloft resulting in efficient rainfall producing storms. Showers and thunderstorms will develop over the higher terrain to the W of the District before noon, spreading out onto the I-25 corridor between 1-2pm. 2-3 rounds of showers and thunderstorms are expected into the evening with additional lighter rain showers likely overnight. |
- | Relatively fast storm motions from SSW to NNE at around 25mph will help to reduce point rainfall amounts from a single storm with training of thunderstorm cells potentially producing extended periods of heavy rainfall that may lead to excessive runoff and possibly flash flooding. Message 1's will likely be issued by around Noon. |
WORST CASE SCENARIO: Training of thunderstorm cells may produce up to 2.6" of rain in 45-60 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: Afternoon and evening thunderstorms with the potential for heavy rainfall will continue on a daily basis through Tuesday of next week with drier air moving into the District on Wednesday.
