| Today will be an active day across the Front Range Urban Corridor as a strong cold front approaches from the north. High temperatures will reach the mid 80s, dew points in the low 50s, precipitable water (PWAT) values around 1.00 inch support an environment favorable for scattered to widespread showers and thunderstorms. Storms are expected to initiate during the early afternoon hours along the foothills before moving into the District. Thunderstorms and heavy rainfall will persist into the evening and perhaps overnight hours as the cold front works its way across the High Plains. |
WORST CASE SCENARIO: Training or anchored thunderstorms have the potential to produce 1.75” to 2.50” in 60 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: Chances for showers and thunderstorms along with locally heavy rainfall will continue through Wednesday with cooler temperatures in the upper 60s to low 70s.
