RECORD BREAKING HEAT OVER THE PLAINS WITH CALM AND HAZY CONDITIONS
-
A heat wave continues meandering into Colorado from the four-corners
region today, suppressing convection with broad subsidence and single
digit relative humidity values across The District.
-
Today will be hot, dry, and smokey across The District as plumes of
west coast wildfire smoke continue to inundate Colorado. Expect
temperatures to climb into the upper 90's possibly reaching 100°F
this afternoon, with calm and hazy conditions aloft.
-
Dry and hazy conditions continue this evening and overnight with
temperatures bottoming out around the mid 60's.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No precipitation is expected
today or this evening.
A LOOK AHEAD: The heat wave should begin to recede early Saturday,
followed by an increase in moisture and cloud cover ahead of a cool
front expected to sweep across the state Saturday evening.
Temperatures will still be relatively warm on Saturday, reaching the
low 90âs with a chance of isolated late afternoon showers and
thunderstorms. The weak cool front is also expected to displace
lingering wildfire smoke through the weekend. The cooling trend will
continue on Sunday, with high temperatures reaching the mid 80âs
with another round of afternoon to evening isolated showers and
thunderstorms.

NEAR RECORD HEAT OVER THE PLAINS WITH CALM AND HAZY CONDITIONS
-
A heat wave begins meandering into Colorado from the four-corners
region today, suppressing convection with broad subsidence and very
low relative humidity.
-
Today will be hot, dry, and smokey across The District as plumes of
west coast wildfire smoke continue to inundate Colorado. Expect
temperatures to climb into the mid-90s this afternoon, with calm and
hazy conditions aloft.
-
Dry and hazy conditions continue this evening and overnight with
temperatures dipping into the upper 50's.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No precipitation is expected
today or this evening.
A LOOK AHEAD: Friday will be another hot and dry day with temperatures
expected to reach the mid to high 90âs, shattering the daily record
of 93°F set in 2018. Ridging over the intercontinental mountain west
region will continue to transport West Coast wildfire smoke into
Colorado through the overnight hours on Friday. Early on Saturday, a
weak cool front is expected to clear most of the smoke east of the
Continental Divide. The heat wave should begin to recede on Saturday,
followed by an increase in moisture and partly cloudy skies across The
District. Temperatures will still be relatively warm Saturday
afternoon, reaching the upper 80âs to low 90âs with a chance of
isolated late afternoon showers and thunderstorms.

HOT, HAZY AND DRY CONDITIONS CONTINUE
-
High-pressure continues to dominate over the region leading to
another hazy and dry day today.
-
High temperatures will reach the upper 80's to around 90 degrees on
the plains with low to mid 80's along the foothills this afternoon
under mostly sunny skies.
-
Overnight will be mild as temperatures drop into the mid 50's to
around 60 on the plains with upper 40's to low 50's along the
foothills.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No precipitation is expected
today or this evening.
A LOOK AHEAD: Once again, not much change in the overall pattern
through this week with dry conditions and at or above record breaking
heat expected through the rest of the week. Low to mid 90's Thursday
will flirt with the record high of 94 degrees set in 1994 at DIA.
Similar conditions Friday with highs expected to reach the mid to
upper 90's with a good chance for record breaking heat (93 degrees at
DIA in 2018). Slightly cooler heading into the weekend as highs reach
the upper 80's to around 90 on Saturday. A very slight chance for
widely scattered afternoon rain showers/isolated thunderstorms,
however, most areas will likely remain dry.

reach the low 90's, which will likely flirt with breaking the record
high of 94 degrees set in 1959. low to Mid 90's Thursday will most
likely beat the record high of 94 degrees set in 1994 at DIA. Similar
conditions Friday with highs expected to stay in the mid to upper 90's

ANOTHER HOT, HAZY AND DRY DAY TODAY
-
Not much change in the overall pattern today resulting in continued
hot, hazy and dry conditions throughout the day.
-
Smoke from the W and NW will be on the increase today leading to
continued hazy conditions this afternoon and into this evening. High

conditions and record breaking heat into the later part of the week.
Slightly cooler tomorrow as a weak cold front moves through overnight
effectively dropping highs into the upper 80's to low 90's with
continued dry conditions. Slightly warmer Wednesday as high
temperatures reach the low 90's, which will likely flirt with breaking
the record high of 94 degrees set in 1959. Mid 90's Thursday will most
likely beat the record high of 94 degrees set in 1994 at DIA. Similar
conditions Friday with highs expected to stay in the mid 90's with

DRY WITH SEASONAL TEMPERATURES
-
Conditions over the District will be dry today with seasonal
temperatures. Highs will reach the upper 70's to lower 80's over the
plains with upper 60's and 70's in the Front Range foothills. Normal
high for Denver today is 84 degrees. Skies will be sunny to mostly

activity remaining to the S over the crest of the Palmer Divide
leading to dry conditions over the District.

drop into the mid to upper 50's for the plains with low 50's along the
foothills.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical rain showers will

Internal Message Status
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
MESSAGE 1'S ISSUED FOR THE ENTIRE DISTRICT
-
Message 1's have been issued for the entire District and will be
valid until 8:00pm. An upper level disturbance is on the approach and
is expected to produce 1-2 rounds of thunderstorms this afternoon.
Stronger thunderstorms will be capable of producing brief heavy
rainfall, gusty winds and hail.
-
Steering winds from SW to NE at 15-20mph will keep storms moving
along at a brisk pace but stronger storms will be capable of producing
heavy rainfall that may lead to excessive runoff. Favored areas for
stronger storms looks to be along and E of I-25 where moisture is
deeper. Storms are currently starting to fill in over NW portions of
the District and will spread to the SE as the afternoon progresses.
-
After 7 or 8pm the main round or two of storms is expected to have
pushed eastward with lingering more isolated light rain showers
remaining possible until around 10pm. Beyond 10pm dry conditions are
expected for the remainder of the evening/overnight period.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Weak thunderstorms will produce
0.1-0.4" of rainfall in 10-30 minutes. Moderate to strong
thunderstorms will have the potential to produce heavy rainfall of
0.4-1.2" in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: Training of strong thunderstorm cells or a slower
moving large thunderstorm may result in up to 2.4" of rainfall in
60-90 minutes.
