Discussion

A very moist and unseasonably cool period of weather will continue across the southern Rockies with more heavy showers and thunderstorms. Several inches of rain are likely in and near the foothills over the next 12 hours or so and this will bring major flooding to that region. High temperatures will again stay on the cool side in the Denver metro region struggling to pass the 70 degree mark. As the work week ends and weekend begins, the upper atmosphere flow of air will become more southwesterly and there will be a slight warm up in the region as a result and slightly reduced threat of rain.
