MESSAGE 1'S ISSUED FOR THE ENTIRE DISTRICT
Message 1’s have been issued for the entire District and will be
valid until midnight.
Thunderstorms are prevalent over the Front Range foothills and upper
level steering winds will push these storms onto the plains as the
evening progresses. These thunderstorms may dissipate on approach but
may also produce an outflow boundary, or a new trigger for
thunderstorm development further eastward within the District. The
scenario will play out over the next few hours…
Should a strong thunderstorm develop, it will be capable of producing
heavy rainfall and hail. With the ground at or near saturation in many
areas of the District it may not take as much rain to produce
excessive runoff and possibly flash flooding.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Weak thunderstorms will produce
rainfall amounts of 0.1-0.4”. Moderate to strong thunderstorms will
produce rainfall rates of 0.4-1.0” in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A slower moving strong thunderstorm or training
of thunderstorm cells may result in up to 1.8” of rain in 45-75
minutes.
