BRIEF HOT PERIOD TO PRECEDE STORMY MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND; LOW-MODERATE FLOOD THREAT INCREASING DUE TO SNOWMELT RUNOFF AND STORM RAINS Look for well above normal temperatures to soar west of the Divide as rivers and mountain stream begin to fill up with snow melt waters. Temperatures may climb into the 90s and remain above freezing at night. Small streams will be at risk of flooding, especially in the upper Colorado River Valley. East of the Divide thunderstorm activity will increase as winds shift to a southeasterly direction through a deep layer. By the start of the Memorial Day weekend daily rounds of strong to severe thunderstorms could develop along the Front Range from Pueblo to Fort Collins. This flooding threat depends on moisture from the Gulf of Mexico making it into eastern Colorado as the second Pacific storm system digs into the Great Basin states. We’ll have more to say on Monday as this threat becomes clearer on its realization.
