-	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 90’s 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 80’s with another round of afternoon to evening isolated showers and thunderstorms.
