.DISCUSSION...

Tomorrow the monsoon tap opens a bit more and it will remain open
for the Weekend. The current thoughts for tomorrow is most of the
storms forming up in the Pikes Peak region, however this will be
reevaluated tonight (one isolated storm forming in the wrong place
could cause flash flooding over the burn scar.

There is a higher confidence for more widespread thunderstorms on
Sunday, however. Timing for both days would see thunderstorms
develop during the early afternoon, around 1400-1500.

Looking farther out, The monsoon trend continues for Monday -
Wednesday. The high pressure remains south, so the monsoon
moisture is able to make it to Colorado. Roughly the same
thunderstorm development time of 1400-1500. Lightning and flash
flooding will be the biggest concerns each day.
