UPDATE: 11:45am: Here is a forecast of rainfall in Colorado from now until 3am MDT. That dark area is 2.5 to 3 inches. Given that heavy rains have already fallen, this is enough to cause significant problems. Thunderstorms, at this moment, are just starting to form over the foothills west of Boulder.
Please monitor the weather if you live along a small stream or near one of the burn areas.

Yesterday,
I posted about the heavy rain threat developing in parts of Colorado. The threat looks even more serious this morning.
Already two to three inches have fallen in the last 30 hours in the foothills west of Boulder and Ft. Collins (see map below):
More heavy rain, an additional four inches, are forecast for the region over the next five days.

As a result, the NWS has issued flash flood watches for the foothills and a number of other areas in the region.
Residents are
already being put on the alert that evacuations are possible, especially in the burn areas due to mudslides.
