What happened
On Thursday, August 13, 2026, severe storms developed along Colorado's Front Range, prompting flood advisories for parts of the Denver metro area. The affected areas include Evergreen in the Jefferson County foothills and Englewood in the southern part of the metro area. These advisories indicate the potential for excessive runoff and minor flooding of small creeks and streams, particularly in low-lying areas and underpasses. The storms are characterized by heavy rain and lightning, with the possibility of hail, although no hail has been reported so far. The severe weather is also causing disruptions at Denver International Airport, where the FAA has implemented a ground delay until 10 p.m. The storms are expected to move across Aurora and then out to the Eastern Plains, with the severe weather threat diminishing later in the evening. However, rainy conditions may persist into the night, affecting travel and outdoor activities in the region. Residents are advised to stay alert and take precautions against potential flooding as the storms continue to develop throughout the day.
