Today will be partly sunny with afternoon temperatures in the low to mid 90s, dew points in the upper 40s to around 50°F, followed by a chance for afternoon to evening showers and thunderstorms. Storm activity will be broadly limited to complex terrain during the afternoon. Showers and thunderstorms may develop across portions of the District later this evening. Storm motions will be from south to north, moving around 20-25 mph. Quick storm motions will help limit point rainfall amounts. Storm activity is expected to move out of the District late tonight. |
WORST CASE SCENARIO: Training or strong thunderstorms have the potential to produce 0.50” to 1.00” total in 30-60 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: As upper-level conditions continue to shift east tonight, the remnants of a tropical system will expand across the state. This wave of moisture will support cooler temperatures and rainy conditions through the end of the week and possibly into the weekend. Storm activity continues tomorrow across the Plains with high confidence for heavy rain. Afternoon temperatures will reach the upper 70s to low 80s. There is still some uncertainty about details and timing through the weekend, which will depend on the track of this system. We will continue to monitor conditions as they develop over the coming days.
