- | Mid level moisture advection from the Pacific will create conditions for light to moderate rainfall this afternoon and early evening. Current temperatures are in the low to mid 70's across the District and will continue to climb into the upper 80's to low 90's by this afternoon. |
- | A round of scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms is expected primarily across the foothills and Palmer Divide today. There is a slight chance an isolated shower or two rolls off the foothills and into the District between 3pm to 7pm. |
- | By sunset, rain shower activity will decrease with skies clearing through the overnight hours. Overnight lows will drop into the low 60's on the plains with upper 40's across the foothills. |
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A stronger thunderstorm or training of thunderstorm cells may result in up to 0.2" of rainfall in 10-30 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: Tomorrow, highs will reach the upper 80's to low 90's with scattered afternoon thunderstorms. A cool front will sweep across the plains overnight on Friday, positioning a cooler airmass over the state. High temperatures on Saturday will reach the upper 70's to low 80's as cloud cover increases throughout the day. Widespread showers and thunderstorms will begin to develop Saturday afternoon, persisting into the evening. Light rain showers may linger overnight and into Sunday morning. The Front Range Urban Corridor will continue cooling on Sunday, with highs in the mid 70's with showers and thunderstorms through the overnight hours.
