High-pressure will increase over the Pacific Northwest today resulting in northwesterly upper-level flow aloft across Colorado. This northwesterly flow will usher in mild and dry conditions across the District today. High temperatures will reach the upper 70s to around 80 degrees this afternoon. Mild and dry conditions remain through the evening hours with mostly clear skies. Overnight will be clear as temperatures drop into the upper 40s to around 50 degrees on the plains with mid 40s along the foothills.

STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No precipitation is expected today or this evening.

A LOOK AHEAD: The high-pressure ridge to the northwest will slowly move eastward through the week, likely keeping mild and dry conditions for Colorado. Tomorrow’s temperatures will be slightly warmer, in the upper 70s to low 80s under sunny skies. Warmer Wednesday as high temperatures reach the mid to upper 80s with continued sunny skies. Similar conditions remain in place Thursday with continuing to be mild and dry as high temperatures reach the low 80s.
