- | Temperatures will continue to warm today with highs topping out in the lower 90's over the plains with 70's and 80's in the Front Range foothills. Normal high for Denver today is 87 degrees. |
- | NW flow aloft has pushed much of the available moisture for storms to the S resulting in a dry day over the majority of the District with possibly a weak storm over the foothills this afternoon. Skies will trend sunny to mostly sunny over the plains today becoming partly cloudy at times over the higher terrain. |
- | Showers and weak thunderstorms if they are able to develop over the foothills will be between 2-7pm producing gusty winds and minimal rain. Since the best chances for any moisture will be outside the District boundaries the QPF table will be omitted today as no meaningful moisture is expected within the District itself. |
A LOOK AHEAD: Flow aloft becomes more westerly on Wednesday and will begin to import better mid and upper level moisture into the state resulting in isolated afternoon thunderstorms. Storms that develop tomorrow will mainly produce gusty winds and minimal rain. Temperatures will tack on a degree or two over the plains with most areas well into the 90's. Thunderstorm chances increase on Thursday and peak on Friday or Saturday. Thunderstorms Thr-Sat will have the potential for moderate to heavy rainfall.
