- Additional rounds of light to moderate rain, with embedded
pockets of heavy rain, are expected today and into tonight.
Cumulative rainfall totals of mainly 2-5 inches are expected.
Some uncertainty still exists with northern extent of the heavy
rain, but latest model trends suggest the greatest risk for the
high end rain amounts will be southeast of a line from Arapahoe
to Hastings to York. Although most areas will not experience
flooding, isolated to scattered instances of flooding or flash
flooding are possible, especially across areas still saturated
from heavy rainfall last week.
