The National Weather Service issued a flood watch early Friday morning for parts of the state, including Denver, because of possible flash flooding from heavy rainfall.
Forecasters at the National Weather Service in Boulder said it’s still too early to tell where the heaviest rainfall will be, but they expect “several rounds of heavy rain” through Friday night and Saturday morning. Flash flooding could occur in burn areas — the East Troublesome and Cameron Peak burn scars appeared to be the most susceptible early Friday — as well as in urban and rural areas, potentially flooding roadways, creeks and some low-lying land.
Possible areas of heavy rain include portions of the Foothills and mountains and in the Interstate 25 corridor/Palmer Divide, the weather service noted. That rainfall is expected to bring Denverites some relief from the high temperatures earlier this week, with Friday’s high forecast at 73 degrees with a low of 69. The Denver metro could get more moderate rainfall between 9 p.m. Friday and 3 a.m. Saturday, according to the latest forecast.
A 90% chance of rain showers and thunderstorms could bring significant rainfall throughout the day with wind gusts getting as high as 22 degrees. That rain is likely to continue at night, according to the weather service. Periods of rain, heavy at times, will be possible today through Saturday morning. This may lead to areas of flash flooding in the burn scars and other areas this afternoon and tonight.
