Weather Alert: Flash Floods and Strong Storms Expected Across Denver, Eastern Colorado

Wednesday is the day that a new wave of storms is expected to arrive, and they may bring hail, severe gusts, and flash flooding. The presence of a surge of deep moisture and a weak upper-level flow will create conditions that are ideal for downpours that move extremely slowly. In a short amount of time, storms could generate either one to two inches of rain.

It is conceivable that flash flooding will occur along the whole I-25 corridor as well as some regions of the eastern plains, particularly in places that are prone to flooding.

Never travel on roads that are flooded; if you want to avoid drowning, turn around. An adult can be thrown over by water that is only six inches deep, whereas water that is twelve inches deep can sweep away a car. highways that are flooded are frequently deeper than they appear, and it only takes one mistake to get into major difficulty on these highways. You should make a U-turn and locate an alternative route if you notice that water is covering the roads.

There is a possibility that some storms will deliver severe winds and huge hail. The presence of a moderate amount of deep-layer shear may result in the formation of a few well-organized supercells, particularly to the east of the metropolitan area, which may bring a combination of heavy rain and severe dangers.

Up to Friday, there is a possibility of rain falling every day.
