DENVER – A flash flood warning has been issued for Denver and Adams counties until 8:15 p.m. Sunday. Several advisories have been issued Sunday evening as a flash flood watch remains in effect for Denver and the Front Range as the storms move through.
A heavy rain threat could produce 1 to 2 inches of rain in as little as 45 minutes, with locally higher storm totals possible, according to the National Weather Service.

A few thunderstorms are expected from mid-afternoon through Sunday evening. The heavy rains are expected to end by Sunday afternoon, with the flood watch ending by midnight.
Areas of recent burns are particularly vulnerable, leading to potential flash flooding and debris flows in areas previously devastated by flash flooding earlier this year.
The Cameron Peak and Calwood burn scar areas are included in a flood watch that will go into effect Sunday afternoon.

“The focus of storms today is expected in and near the foothills. The weak front pushing south this morning stalls as it pushes the eastern slopes of the foothills and Front Range mountains,” said the discussion of NWS forecast.
Next week will be drier and warmer, with highs in the mid-80s on Monday and only a small chance for a scattered thunderstorm later in the day.
