Weather Story

Areas of fog and isolated rain showers can be expected this morning. Showers and thunderstorms will develop over the higher terrain by midday then spread eastward across the urban corridor and adjacent plains this afternoon. Most of the storms will produce moderate to heavy rainfall, small hail and wind gusts to 35 mph; but one or two storms over the Palmer Divide southeast of Denver could produce hail up to one inch in diameter and wind gusts to 60 mph. Heavy rainfall may cause minor urban and small stream flooding, however there is a lower risk of localized flash flooding in areas already saturated by rainfall from the past day or two, or over burn scars if the storms become stationary. A secondary round of less intense showers and thunderstorms can be expected this evening.
