-	An upper-level disturbance will continue to work it's way across the intermountain west today, creating a favorable environment for isolated to widely scattered showers and thunderstorms across the District.
-	With a jet streak positioned across the Colorado/Utah border, upper level steering winds will support fast-moving storms. High temperatures today will reach the upper 70s to low 80s, surface dew points in the mid to upper 40's -- much lower than yesterday. With an increase in storm motions and lower surface dewpoints, storms will produce light to moderate rainfall today.
-	As showers and thunderstorms taper off into the evening, skies will gradually clear through the overnight with cool and mild conditions expected into Friday. Overnight lows will drop into the low to mid 50's on the plains with upper 30's to low 40's across the foothills.

STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical rain showers/isolated thunderstorms will produce a trace to 0.2" in 10-30 minutes. A moderate to strong thunderstorms can produce 0.2-0.5" in 10-30 minutes.

WORST CASE SCENARIO: A strong thunderstorm or training of thunderstorm cells has the potential to produce up to 0.5"-0.8" in 10-30 minutes.

A LOOK AHEAD: The warming trend continues Saturday with high temperatures reaching the low to mid 80s with another round of isolated showers and thunderstorms. High pressure ridging will build across the Great Plains next week, transporting warm, dry air into the state. As a result, Sunday and Monday will be sunny and uneventful with highs reaching the upper 80s to low 90s.
