Tony Hake’s fascination with weather started as a sixth grader when an F2 tornado struck Thornton about 4 miles from his house and did $10 million damage and injured 42 people. Now he is an amateur meteorologist keeping an eye on the sky.

Temperatures staying down but flash flooding a concern

Add a Comment

August 6, 1:46 PM

by Tony Hake, Denver Weather Examiner

Current warnings as of 8/6/08 at 1:45pm.

Whether the streak of 90+ degree days ends today or not is yet to be determined but it is looking like it will. Moisture in the atmosphere is increasing and a low is settling in helping to keep the temperatures down. Not many are sad to see things cool down.

With that cooling and moisture though is the chance for some severe storms this afternoon. At the current time, the National Weather Service has issued a Flash Flood Watch for most of the Front Range from Colorado Springs to the Wyoming border. The storms that develop this afternoon will be slow moving and have the potential for rainfaill rates in the 2 - 3 inches per hour range.

Area residents should remember this from the National Weather Service:

A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT FLASH FLOODING IS POSSIBLE...BUT NOT IMMINENT...WITHIN THE WATCH AREA. PEOPLE IN THE WATCH AREA SHOULD KEEP AN EYE ON THE WEATHER AND BE PREPARED FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION SHOULD HEAVY RAINS AND FLASH FLOODING OCCUR...OR IF A FLASH FLOOD WARNING IS ISSUED.

For more info: National Weather Service Denver / Boulder office.
