Clearly we are in a wet pattern around Denver, the Front Range and Plains and this phase is far from wrapping up. Additional rain is on the way today, with scattered showers and thunderstorms for the next week. This is, in part, due to the development of El Niño as discussed here:

Does this pattern continue throughout June? We discussed that with our members in our monthly outlook:

Additional rainfall on the burn scars or already soggy-soiled locations may lead to isolated flash flooding.

There's additional rain on the way, and this image shows an estimate of additional rainfall for the week ahead. Some will pick up another one to two inches!

From that planner, you can see a general decrease in the rain chances throughout the next three days. This animation shows the estimated radar picture for the next several days across Colorado.

We do see a rebound going through the week ahead but considering the average highs are near 80°, it's still relatively cool.
