- | Similar conditions as yesterday as high temperatures reach the upper 80's to low 90's across the District today with a slight chance for isolated high-based rain showers/isolated thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. |
- | High-based thunderstorms will first become possible over the foothills and Palmer Divide between 12-2pm. After 2pm thunderstorms will become more likely over the plains with best chances for thunderstorm activity through 9 or 10pm this evening. |
- | Surface moisture will be relatively dry through the early afternoon with dew points in the upper 30's to low 40's. With upper 80's to low 90's this will result high-based thunderstorms with gusty winds likely along with light to isolated moderate pockets of brief rain showers. Storm motions will be relatively fast from W to E between 10-20mph, which will limit point rainfall amounts across the District. |
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A large strong thunderstorm or a slower moving strong thunderstorm will have the potential to produce 0.3-0.6" in 10-30 minutes and up to 1.0" in 60 minutes or less.
A LOOK AHEAD: Temperatures will remain well above average over the next few days with the potential for afternoon and evening rain showers/isolated thunderstorms into the weekend. Best chance for heavy rain appears to be Saturday at this time, with conditions finally drying out completely over the region Sunday.
