Flood Watch

Locally Heavy Rainfall Today and Friday

A Flood Watch is in effect for portions of the northeast and east central Colorado plains from 3 pm to 10 pm today. Scattered to numerous showers are expected to develop over the area this afternoon afternoon and evening. Heavy rainfall rates of 1-2" in 30 minutes may lead to localized flash flooding with isolated storm totals of 4".

Increasing rain chances will bring a risk for excessive rainfall and flash flooding. The greatest risk of very heavy rain (1-2" in 45 minutes) is over portions of the eastern plains where a Flood Watch is in effect, but localized flooding is also possible in and near burn scars and urbanized areas. Another slight risk is in place for Friday. Stay weather aware, and never drive through flooded roads.
