Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FAVORING AREAS NORTH
-
Upper level disturbance moving overhead today will produce multiple
rounds of showers and thunderstorms over the District into the
evening. The first round of storms will act to increase surface
moisture leading to better chances for brief moderate and heavy
rainfall with subsequent rounds of storms later this afternoon and
evening.
-
Moderate to strong thunderstorms will have the potential for brief
heavy rainfall. The strongest storms will most likely be hail
producers with relatively low freezing levels and storms will be fast
moving from SW to NE at 15-25mph helping to reduce point rainfall
amounts.
-
2-4 rounds of showers and thunderstorms are expected to move through
into the evening with prime time for storms from noon today to 2am
Monday.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rain showers and weak
thunderstorms will produce a 0.1-0.3" of rainfall in 10-30 minutes.
Moderate to strong thunderstorms will have the potential to produce
rainfall rates of 0.3-0.8" in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: Training of thunderstorm cells or a slower moving
strong thunderstorm may result in up to 1.5" of rainfall in 45-75
minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: A decrease in overall shower and thunderstorm activity
is expected on Monday but there will be a few afternoon and evening
showers/thunderstorms with cooler temperatures in the 60's.
Thunderstorms Tuesday afternoon and evening will turn into a soaking
rainfall overnight with some snow for the Front Range foothills into
Wednesday morning.
