| - | An increase in mid and upper level moisture will lead to a chance for showers and weak thunderstorms over the District today. Temperatures will continue to run above seasonal averages with readings in the upper 70's to lower 80's over the plains with 60's and 70's in the Front Range foothills. Mostly sunny skies early will become partly to mostly cloudy as convective clouds develop this afternoon. |
| - | Most of the shower and weak thunderstorm activity today will remain over the mountains, foothills, and higher terrain of the Palmer Divide with lesser chances over the plains between 2-8pm. The storms that develop today will be high-based as surface moisture is lacking resulting in minimal rainfall and gusty winds. Many areas along the I-25 corridor will likely end up dry or experience just a few gusty sprinkles. |
| - | After 8pm conditions are expected to dry out with overnight lows dropping into the 40's foothills and upper 40's to lower 50's plains into Wednesday morning. |
A LOOK AHEAD: Shower and thunderstorm activity is expected to retreat back into the higher mountains on Wednesday leaving the I-25 corridor on the dry side. Temperatures will remain either side of 80 degrees for highs over the plains with readings about 10 degrees cooler in the foothills.
