- | Warm and windy today as high temperatures reach the mid to upper 70's on the plains with mid to upper 60's along the foothills. Isolated areas of patchy fog this morning as dew points remain in the low 50's from overnight rain showers. Conditions today will dry out rapidly at the surface as strong W/SW winds with gust up to 40mph will push all the surface moisture eastward where a good chance for severe weather will occur once again for Colorado's Eastern Plains. |
- | Cannot completely rule out an isolated rain shower/thunderstorm this afternoon over the District, however, the heavy rainfall threat will remain minimal as storm motions will be fairly brisk between 20-30mph from W/SW to E/NE helping limit point rainfall amounts. Largest threat for storms today will be gusty winds, lightning and hail up to 1". Best chance for storm development today will be from 2-6pm with skies clearing through the evening and into the overnight. |
- | Overnight lows will decrease into the upper 40's to low 50's on the plains with low to mid 40's along the foothills with mild conditions. |
WORST CASE SCENARIO: An anchored thunderstorms or training of thunderstorms could produce 0.3-0.6" of rainfall in 30-60 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: High pressure starts to build over the region tomorrow leading to dry conditions starting the week with temperatures in the upper 70's to low 80's through Wednesday. A slight chance Wednesday afternoon for widely scattered high-based thunderstorms with no heavy rainfall threat at this time.
