I've been watching the NWS website this evening and noticed that big storm up north of here. Looks really ugly up by Greely. Down here in Pueblo we are getting some areas with flash flood warning, so far have only gotten one rain episode. Am monitoring the radio this evening and the local ham club is activating their local emergency comm service, just in case things get bad. Are expecting more weather but right now looks like Denver area is the one getting hammered. Any forum members up there be safe and watchful........

Spotters have been going nuts around here, a few in Longmont because of the tornado siren going off. I've been getting heavy rain for about the last 2 hrs, my radar software is showing about 1 to 3 inches total in areas and peaking to 5 and 6 inches.

--UPDATE--
Now hearing of 6-12 inches of rain from spotters in Greeley area.
