Flash Flood Watch

Today

A Flood Watch is in effect for portions of the northeast and east central Colorado plains, Palmer Divide, and southern Front Range foothills from 2 pm to 10 pm today. Scattered to numerous thunderstorms are expected to develop over the area this afternoon and evening. Heavy rainfall rates of 1–2" in 30 minutes, on top of yesterday's rainfall, may lead to localized flash flooding. Remember to never drive on flooded roads. Turn Around Don't Drown!

Another round of scattered to numerous thunderstorms is expected this afternoon and evening. The main hazard today will be heavy rainfall leading to flash flooding, especially for those areas that have seen rain the past couple of days. Storms will also be capable of producing strong winds and hail. If you encounter a flooded road, make sure you turn around, don’t drown!
