The surge in monsoon moisture poses risks of severe weather and flash flooding, particularly east of Denver where soils are already saturated from recent rainfall (BoulderCAST, 2026). Slow-moving storms with steering winds under 15 mph could lead to localized flooding, especially in areas along I-70 toward Kansas. Severe weather risks include hail and damaging winds during the early afternoon hours. Cooler temperatures in the mid-70s to low-80s may limit instability in the Denver-Boulder metro area, potentially reducing storm intensity locally.
