| Message 2's issued will continue valid through noon today. The National Weather Service has updated the Big Dry Creek area to a Flood Warning due to excessive runoff leading to localized flooding. The area of impact will be from Thornton, Westminster and downstream to the confluence with the South Platte River near Fort Lupton. This Flood Warning will be in effect through 3pm this afternoon. The National Weather Service has also upgraded the flows into Cherry Creek Reservoir to a Flood Warning as elevated water flows currently moving from the Douglas County area through Arapahoe County and into Cherry Creek. These elevated flows will likely have localized flooding, especially along any paths adjacent to creeks/rivers. This Flood Warning is also in effect through 3pm this afternoon. The MHFD will advise through an IMS any additional Flood Warnings for this event if necessary. |
WORST CASE SCENARIO: Training of moderate rain rain showers or a weak to moderate thunderstorm has the potential to produce rainfall amounts of 0.5-1.5" in 30-60 minutes.
