Internal Message Status
Flash Flood Prediction Program

MESSAGE 1'S ISSUED FOR THE ENTIRE DISTRICT
-Message 1's have been issued for the entire District and are currently valid until 8:00pm this evening.
-Shower and thunderstorm activity is already blossoming over W/NW Boulder County and will fill in over the District through noon. 2-3 rounds of showers and thunderstorms are likely into the evening with stronger storms capable of producing brief heavy rainfall that may lead to excessive runoff. Relatively fast storm motions from SW to NE at 20-25mph will help to keep heavier rainfall brief with training of thunderstorm cells having the greatest threat for a prolonged period of heavy rainfall.
-Strong thunderstorms may also become severe, producing large hail/accumulating hail, gusty winds and frequent cloud-to-ground lightning. Thunderstorm activity is expected to diminish as temperatures cool this evening with a widespread rain forecast to fill in with lighter rainfall rates overnight into Monday morning.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rain showers and weak thunderstorms will produce 0.1-0.3" in 10-30 minutes. Moderate to strong thunderstorms will have the potential to produce 0.3-0.9" in 10-30 minutes.

WORST CASE SCENARIO: Training of moderate/strong thunderstorm cells may result in up to 1.6" of rain in 60-90 minutes.
