0.63” of rain in 20 mins in NW Denver, minor street flooding in central/west Denver #COwx

Nice downpour pushing through downtown right now! Small hail, lightning, 40-50 mph gusts as well. Will be done quick though. #COwx

Rockies delay should be brief, storm moving in now should be done by 6:50-7p

5:47p: Thundershowers/storms moving into the heart of the metro area…brief downpours, small hail, lightning, gusty winds possible with these: Most/all activity should be done by 7p…won’t last long. #COwx

5:05p: Yet another Flash Flood Warning for the Aspen Acres burn scar. 4th-straight day with one there. Avoid the area. Looks like it's mostly over the central and southern part of the scar, after the north side of it saw the majority of the rain earlier this week. #COwx

Well, it's official...Denver just hit 90° for the 28th time this month, setting a new record for most 90-degree days for any month on record. Old record: 27 days (July 1964 + 2012). #COwx

Weekend/Monday blowtorch -> brief cloudy/cool Tuesday -> back to the blowtorch late next week. Reminder: I'm fun at bars. #COwx

Aspen Acres burn scar again will be the focal point of flood concerns today. Already seeing some storms popping up near the scar. Hope this is way too obvious, but I'll say it anyways...avoid that area or anywhere near it. #COwx

30% storm chance today, probably the best chance south of Denver. Isolated hail/wind threat, but most stay dry. Should be done by 7p, evening plans look good to go. #COwx

Another Heat Advisory for Sunday for the Denver area, with highs near 100°. Will probably get extended into Monday also. Yuck. #COwx

Smoke from the Pacific Northwest wildfires is visible along the Front Range this morning. It'll probably stick around today and into the weekend. This *may* help to suppress storm chances this afternoon, especially from I-70 on north. #COwx

Today marks 50 years since Colorado’s deadliest weather disaster: the Big Thompson Canyon flood. 144 people lost their lives, hundreds more lost their homes and businesses after 6-10”+ of rain creating a huge rush of water down the canyon. More here: storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/f50f...

2nd-hottest start to July (or any month) on record in Denver, narrowly trailing July 2012. We'll probably finish a smidge below July 2012...but it'll be close. Depends on exact temps today/tomorrow. #COwx
