High pressure and ample moisture remain in place which means the running forecast remains largely the same...afternoon and evening convection. Slow storm motions remain in the forecast so, as we've seen over the last several days, the stronger showers and storms will cause plenty of heavy rain. Those areas susceptible to flooding will remain under the gun as will burn scars like the Babylon, Ferris and Gold Mountain burn scars. Outside of the rain, gusty outflow winds will also be possible with gusts of 40 to 50 mph not out of the question. To round it out, lightning will be common with some small hail also possible. The CAMs are hinting at a slight downturn in convection tomorrow and Tuesday but not sold on those solutions, however, as CAPE, instability and available moisture remains high across the CWA.

Highs remain anywhere from 5 to 10 degrees above climatological norms with 100s still in the forecast for many lower elevations. Overnight lows will drop, obviously, but still remain above normal and without much relief, the going Heat Advisory remains in effect for the Grand Valley and Lower Yampa River Basin through Tuesday morning.
Looking ahead, a shortwave is progged to move across the area Wednesday and if this should occur, some stronger thunderstorms will be possible with large hail and/or strong outflow winds. Keep an eye on the latest forecast. After that, high pressure may build in to our west. Flow around the high will cause moisture to slowly decrease which will temper convection across the region.
