News Link
Forecasts of 1/2 inch of rain for this afternoon will almost certainly produce flash flooding all along the Front Range. The ground is completely saturated from 3 straight weeks of daily rain and all precip hitting the ground now will immediately run off. Here is a photo of a normally dry drainage in the Open Space near my house.


















With 10 days forward of daily rain forecast, there is no end in site. An upslope condition that goes on for 4 weeks has to be a record for Colorado.
