| The springtime pattern continues across the Front Range Urban Corridor as another upper-level trough sweeps across the state today. Afternoon highs will reach the upper 50s to low 60s, dew points in the upper 30s to low 40s, and precipitable water (PWAT) values around 0.5”-0.6”. Chances for isolated showers and thunderstorms will gradually improve throughout the day, becoming scattered to widespread by the late afternoon. Storm motions will be from west to east around 20-25 mph. Storms will begin clearing after sunset, with precipitation fully concluding by the mid to late evening. |
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A strong thunderstorm, or training of thunderstorm cells, will have the potential to produce 0.50” to 0.80” total in up to 60 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: Warmer temperatures are expected Wednesday as sunny morning skies allow afternoon highs to reach the upper 60s to low 70s. Dewpoints will be in the upper 20s to low 30s, supporting slight chances for afternoon to evening showers and thunderstorms.
