Storms haven't stopped rolling over the state, with strong storms early Monday morning.

Additional storms throughout the day will primarily carry hail and heavy rainfall - heavy enough that there's a flood watch issued for most all of northeastern Colorado (including metro areas) through this evening.

The issues today being:

Ample moisture and instability will result in numerous slow
moving showers and thunderstorms today and this evening.
Rainfall rates will be up to an inch in 30 minutes or less
with the stronger storms. Locations around Eastern Larimer
and Weld counties will be extremely susceptible to flooding
following last evenings heavy rain.

So, we may be looking at more 'waterfront properties'.

Here's a walk-through of the estimated storm position and timing throughout the day.

In addition to the heavy rainfall, there may be the accumulation of hail as we saw yesterday, too.

Putting it all together, we clearly have a wet day on tap. The next three begin to see the rain potential drop as temperatures recover.
