Denver experienced severe storms on Monday, June 1, 2026, resulting in flash flooding and hail.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS), 2.28 inches of rain fell in some areas, surpassing Denver's typical June average of 1.94 inches.
The storms triggered a Flash Flood Warning for parts of Adams, Arapahoe, and Denver counties, with radar indicating between 1.5 and 2 inches of rain near Buckley Space Force Base.

Why It's Important?

The storms have caused significant disruptions, including flash flooding in urban areas, inundating roads, small creeks, and low-lying regions. Motorists were advised to avoid flooded roads and seek higher ground. Large hail and gusty winds posed additional risks, with potential damage to vehicles, property, and infrastructure. The ground stop at Denver International Airport highlighted the impact on air travel. The ongoing risk of isolated flash flooding and severe weather conditions remains a concern as the storm system moves eastward.
