Westerly upper-level flow aloft shifts northwesterly throughout the day ahead of building high-pressures from the southwest. Today’s high temperatures will be slightly warmer, reaching the low to mid 80s this afternoon under mostly sunny skies. Currently dew points are in the low 40s and will mix out into the upper 30s this afternoon. This will result in relative humidity values around 20% limiting any potential precipitation across the region. Winds will be calm today from the north/northwest between 5-10mph. This evening will continue to be mild with partly cloudy skies. Overnight temperatures will drop into the upper 50s to around 60 degrees on the plains with low to mid 50s along the foothills.

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

A LOOK AHEAD: Tomorrow will start to dry out at the surface with more typical dew points in the upper 30s to low 40s in the afternoon. A very slight chance for afternoon showers and isolated thunderstorms will be possible, although with decreased dew points and high temperatures in the upper 80s, high-based storms will be likely with minimal rainfall expected at this time. Wednesday will be similar with another very slight chance for high-based afternoon and evening showers/isolated thunderstorms with minimal precipitation as most struggle to reach the surface during peak daytime heating. This will likely result in gusty conditions rather than any meaningful rainfall for the plains with a slightly better chance for rainfall along the foothills areas at this time.
