Weather Underground Forecast for Sunday, May 19, 2013.

Severe thunderstorm activity will persist for the Plains on Sunday as a broad low pressure system continues trekking through the region. The system will move from the Northern Plains and into the Great Lakes, creating two frontal boundaries. The warm front associated with this system will extend eastward over the Great Lakes and into the Northeast, kicking up scattered showers and thunderstorms into Sunday night. At the same time, a cold front extends southward from this system which will move off the Central Rockies and into the Central and Southern Plains. Counter-clockwise flow around this broad system will pull moisture and energy into the Plains from the Gulf of Mexico. This will support moderate to heavy showers and thunderstorms in between these two fronts. This system has a history of severe thunderstorm development across the Northern and Central Plains, thus, there is a moderate risk of severe thunderstorm development with large hail, damaging winds, and multiple tornadoes. These severe thunderstorms will most likely develop across central and eastern Oklahoma, through eastern Kansas, and into western Missouri. A slight risk of severe storm development remains in effect from northern Texas, through southern Minnesota and Wisconsin on Sunday. At the same time, the back side of this system will continue spreading moisture over the Intermountain West and Rockies. This will trigger more showers with isolated thunderstorms over the region through Sunday evening.

Meanwhile in the East, a trough of low pressure slowly moves over the East Coast and maintains shower and thunderstorm activity for the Mid-Atlantic states through the Northeast.

        The event began when heavy thunderstorms on the 18th caused
        some street flooding and power outages... followed by steady
        rain on the 19th and 20th. Rain amounts across Metro
        Denver totaled 3 to 4 inches. Rainfall totaled 3.71 inches
        at Stapleton International Airport where north winds gusted

        to dime size. Wind gusts to 77 mph were recorded in
        Brighton. Numerous trees and power poles were downed by
        the winds. One power pole fell onto spectators at a High
        School graduation ceremony in Commerce City... injuring 6
        people. In Fort Lupton... trees fell onto 2 parked cars...
        knocking out the windshields. Hail to 3/4 inch in diameter
        was reported in Littleton. A thunderstorm wind gust to 52
        mph was recorded at Stapleton International Airport.
      In 1995... a slow moving tornado... which was mainly discernible
        by its dust and debris cloud... was spotted 2 miles northeast
        of Denver International Airport or about 10 miles
        northwest of Bennett. No damage was reported.
      In 2007... lightning struck a 33-ft statue of jesus at mother
        cabrini shrine... in the foothills west of Golden. The blast

        damaged a foot. It cost an estimated $200000 to repair.
      In 2009... lightning struck the roof of a residence in Highlands
        Ranch. The home was not a total loss... but the fire caused
        extensive damage.
      In 2010... a thunderstorm produced hail up to 7/8 inch in
        diameter in Thornton.
19-20 in 1864... a devastating major flash flood occurred on the
        normally dry and Sandy Cherry Creek in Denver. The flood
        was caused by heavy thunderstorm rainfall and hail over the
        Palmer Ridge to the south of the city in both the Cherry
        Creek and Plum Creek basins. Nineteen deaths occurred along
        the South Platte river and Cherry Creek in Denver. The
        torrent swept cattle and sheep along with large trees and
        houses before it washing out several bridges... and moving
        large structures from their foundations. All city records
        were destroyed when city Hall washed away. The Rocky
        Mountain news building... built on stilts in the middle of the
        creek... was totally destroyed by the raging waters... which
        were as deep as 5 feet on the morning of the 20th. Once
        the flood waters receded... much sand and gravel was left
        behind. Property damage from the flood was estimated at
        nearly one million dollars. This was the first major
        flood of record in the city.
