Denver broke a 75-year daily record for rainfall on Sunday: NWS
DENVER (KDVR) — Denver broke a daily record for rainfall during Sunday's dreary weather that was set 75 years ago. Colorado has had a soggy Memorial Day weekend, filled with rain, hail and even tornadoes on the northeast Plains Friday just as the weekend was getting started. Denver's weather was not as severe, with some hail reports around the area from Grant and Shawnee on U.S. 285 to Centennial. Memorial Day forecast: More showers, storms and cooler temps Denver did however see seemingly never-ending rain on Sunday, which added up to be a record-breaking amount at Denver International Airport, according to the National Weather Service in Boulder. The National Weather Service measured 1.39 inches at DIA on Sunday, breaking the previous daily record for May 26 of 1.31 inches set all the way back in 1950. Sunday's rainfall was also a staggering departure from normal, as the average rainfall for May 26 is just .07 inches. Lone Tree and Aurora also saw some heavy rain, with the National Weather Service measuring 1.58 and 2.10 inches in each area, respectively. Pinpoint Weather Meteorologist Travis Michels on Monday said Denver isn't finished with the rain yet. The second half of Monday could see more showers and storms before wrapping up around sunset. After that, there are rain chances every day through Friday.

Events to road conditions: Potential impacts with Pinpoint Weather Alert Day Tuesday
DENVER (KDVR) — With a Pinpoint Weather Alert Day on Tuesday, snow and rain could have an impact on events and even driving, depending on where you are headed. Whether you have tickets to the Rockies game or a Red Rocks concert, there are several events scheduled for Tuesday, as forecasts are showing the potential of almost an inch of rain accumulating in the metro. View the latest Weather Alerts in Denver and across Colorado on FOX31 'This is one of those forecasts that's just not going to be the best conditions,' Pinpoint Weather Meteorologist Travis Michels said. 'It's not like little rain at Red Rocks. It's going to be steady rain and then maybe even seeing some flakes out by the foothills, which would not be fun to enjoy a concert in town.' With a full lineup of concerts this week, FOX31 checked in with the city to see if there are any planned changes to the Red Rocks concert on Tuesday. We are told that ticket holders will be notified if there are any delays or cancellations. Plus, there will be information about weather impacts at 'It's an interesting forecast,' Michels said. 'I'll say that with the temperatures that we're going to get above seven, 7,500 feet, they can get more snow there.' CDOT tells FOX31 its teams will be ready across the state for Tuesday's weather. With one to two feet totals likely over Berthoud, Loveland, eastern Kenosha, Wilkerson, Wolf Creek, and La Veta Passes, CDOT Communications Director Matt Inzeo says, Tuesday and Wednesday look especially difficult for travel. These areas will see the most rain during Tuesday's storm 'While this isn't a timeframe that sends people from the Front Range up to ski, travel from or through the high country will see delays and hazardous conditions,' Inzeo said. 'Our teams will be in snow shift throughout this storm in all of the affected areas, with particular focus on all of those high mountain passes.' While Denver won't see snow, it could get a good amount of rain — almost an inch, which Michels says would be equivalent to almost 10 inches of snow if it were cold enough in the city. 'We can see puddling, creeks and streams can overflow,' Michaels said. 'We're talking about those little spots on the street that tend to always puddle up with the water. That's going to be an issue for Tuesday.' FOX31 reached out to the Rockies ahead of Tuesday's scheduled game. If we receive any information about delays or cancellations, we will share updates here.

These areas will see the most rain during Tuesday's storm
DENVER (KDVR) — A storm is bringing heavy rain and snow to parts of Colorado during the first week of May. A Pinpoint Weather Alert Day has been issued for Tuesday for heavy rain along the Front Range and snow in the foothills and mountains starting as early as mid-morning and lasting into the night. Denver weather: Timing, totals, impacts of incoming days of heavy May rain While Denver won't see snow, it could get a good amount of rain — almost an inch, which would be equivalent to almost 10 inches of snow if it were cold enough in the city. Here's which areas will see the most rain from Tuesday morning through Wednesday night: Estes Park: 2 inches Georgetown: 2 inches Conifer: 2 inches Castle Rock: 1.6 inches Boulder: 1.4 inches Monument Hill: 1.4 inches Parker: 1.3 inches Denver: 0.9 inches Fort Collins: 0.9 inches Limon: 0.9 inches Pinpoint Weather Meteorologist Travis Michels said Denver's average rainfall in May is 2.16 inches. If it rains nearly an inch in Denver, that would be about half of May's total in a day, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Michels said that from the beginning of the year through Sunday, Denver was short 0.93 inches of rain, so an inch would put Denver back to where it should be for the year. What is severe weather season in Colorado? On average, 1 inch of rain amounts to 10 to 12 inches of snow. While there will be a lot of rain in the area, it's nothing out of the ordinary during the severe weather season. Michels said it's a decent amount of rain for a day, but the rainfall record for May 6 is 3.27 inches. Many areas across Colorado will receive rain, but there's also snow in the forecast. Dillon could see as much as half a foot of snow, with flakes falling across western Colorado. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
