The stormy weather also impacted travel at Denver International Airport. A ground delay was posted by the FAA for the airport for several hours.

A flood advisory means there could be excessive runoff, heavy rainfall, minor flooding of small creeks and streams. Highway and street underpasses and low-lying areas could see some flooding.
