Flash Flood Prediction Program

MESSAGE 1'S CONTINUE VALID UNTIL 10:00 PM
Message 1’s will continue to be valid until 10pm as the chance of heavy rainfall remains.

After a round of moderate to strong showers and thunderstorms for portions of the District, a few lingering showers persist toward the north. These showers may move into the District over the next few hours bringing some additional rainfall.

Temperatures have decreased behind the first round of showers, however, dew points have increased into the mid 50s for some areas in the District. These dew points would result in efficient rain producing showers into the evening with the possibility of a shower or two strengthening into a thunderstorm which will have good potential for moderate to heavy rainfall.

Later this evening, a very slight chance for a few lingering showers after 10pm with skies gradually clearing through the overnight. Temperatures overnight will drop into the mid to upper 50s for the plains with low 50s along the foothills.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical showers and thunderstorms will produce a trace-0.25” total in 10-30 minutes. A moderate to strong shower/thunderstorm will produce 0.25-0.50” total in 10-30 minutes.

WORST CASE SCENARIO: A strong stationary thunderstorm or training of thunderstorm cells will have the potential to produce up to 1.00” total in 30-60 minutes.
