FLASH FLOODING Threat Through Tonight

Forecasters say 3.5 to 6 inches could fall from Omaha to Hebron, with severe storms and 60 mph wind gusts possible south of I-80.

  • On Wednesday, Colorado faces a significant rain event as remnants of Hurricane Polo merge with another storm system, potentially marking the state's most widespread rainfall since May 2023, the National Weather Service reported.
  • Remnants of Hurricane Polo, moving from the eastern Tropical Pacific and northern Mexico, will merge with a storm system entering the Southwest United States, creating a surge of tropical moisture into Colorado.
  • Forecasters expect up to 2.5 inches of rain across the southern Front Range and Palmer Divide, with locally 3 to 4 inches possible in the state's southern tier, according to the National Weather Service.
  • A Flood Watch remains in effect for the Palmer Divide and nearby plains, including Elbert and Lincoln counties, through Thursday morning; officials warn motorists to "turn around, don't drown" if encountering flooded roadways.
  • The storm system pushes out Thursday, setting the stage for warmer and drier weather heading into Friday and the weekend as conditions improve across Colorado.
