Flash Flood Watch issued by NWS for foothills portion of Boulder County. Snowmelting with additional rainfall in the Fourmile burn area could lead to flooding issues later today. An additional 1″-1.50″ of liquid equivalent is possible through today.

From the Windsor Beacon (David Persons):

State officials have notified area municipalities that it’s possible the Poudre could run as fast as 6,000 cfs. That’s about 22 percent more water and would equal the volume of the April 30-May 1, 1999, flood, widely recognized as a major 10-year event for the town.
