MESSAGE 1'S CONITINUE VALID UNTIL 10PM FOR PORTIONS OF THE DISTRICT
-
Message 1's will continue valid over NW portions of the District
until 10pm although the threat for heavy rainfall is diminishing.
-
A warm layer of air aloft has kept any moderate to strong storm
development at bay despite moisture levels rising significantly from
this morning as the 6pm sounding in Denver yielded 1.09" of
precipitable water. A surface wind convergence line still exists over
NW portions of the District but is is now washing out and reducing
storm chances.
-
There is still a slight chance for a stronger, slow moving
thunderstorm to develop but now that temperatures are backing off as
the sun sets this threat is much lower than just a couple hours ago.
As time passes this evening the threat for heavy rainfall also
diminishes likely allowing Messages to expire at 10pm.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rain showers and weak
thunderstorms will produce a trace to 0.2" of rain. Moderate to strong
thunderstorms will have the potential to produce 0.2-0.6" of heavy
rain in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A stationary strong thunderstorm will have the
potential to produce up to 1.2" in 30-60 minutes.
