A drying pattern emerges today as a ridge of high pressure continues building across the Central US. Today will be mostly sunny with high temperatures in the low to mid 80s. Dew points will be in the mid 30s with PWAT values between 0.50” and 0.60”. Westerly upper-level flow will support downslope winds, inhibiting storm development across the District.

STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No Rainfall is expected across the District today.

WORST CASE SCENARIO: None

A LOOK AHEAD: Friday will be sunny and breezy with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s. A cold front is expected to traverse the state Friday, but limited moisture will inhibit storm development across the area. Instead, gusty winds are likely Friday and Saturday as the frontal passage makes its way across the High Plains. Looking ahead to the weekend, skies will be sunny with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s.
