- | Message 1's continue valid for the entire District although the threat for thunderstorms is lower as precipitation thus far is favoring moderate to briefly heavy non-thunderstorm rain showers with short lived weak thunderstorms. |
- | With temperatures in the 50's over much of the District precipitation is favoring a general rain with the stronger thunderstorm activity limited to the higher terrain well W of the District and further E onto the plains. The current rain and isolated weak thunderstorms showers are producing rainfall rates of 0.2-0.4" in 10-30 minutes on the heavy end and is resulting in minor runoff. If a moderate or strong thunderstorm is able to develop it will be very capable of producing brief heavy rain that may lead to excessive runoff and flash flooding. |
- | Shower and weak thunderstorm activity is expected to continue to come in waves into the evening with conditions drying out around sunset or shortly after. It may not take as much rain today to produce runoff as the ground is saturated in some areas and smaller creeks and streams may be running high into the evening. |
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A large slower moving thunderstorm or training of thunderstorm cells will have the potential to produce up to 1.6" in 45-75 minutes.
