Virtually all of the Front Range, from Wyoming south to below Pueblo, is under a flash-flood watch this afternoon.
The National Weather Service predicts thunderstorms will move in from the west, bringing heavy amounts of rain and some lightning. Wind gusts could reach 40 mph.
In northern Colorado, particularly in the Fort Collins area, the ground is still saturated from Thursday’s storms. Any additional rain today would not be absorbed. Rather, it would flow across the ground into drainage systems, ditches and rivers, which can overflow quickly.
Citizens are advised to seek higher ground and to avoid driving through pools of water.
