- | NW flow aloft today will bring in drier air both at the surface and upper-level. This will decrease rain chances across the District today as high temperatures reach the upper 80's to low 90's on the plains with upper 70's to low 80's along the foothills. |
- | A weak cold front will move in this afternoon resulting in a slight chance for a brief high based rain shower/isolated thunderstorm, with the largest threat being gusty wind and lightning. With NW upper-level flow and surface dew points dropping into the low 40's today will result in a decreased chance for rainfall, although a brief isolated moderate rain shower cannot be completely ruled out, favoring eastern portions of the District. |
- | Today should be both the warmest and driest day of the week. Overnight lows will drop into the upper 50's to mid 60's with mostly clear skies. |
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A strong, slow moving thunderstorm formed off an outflow boundary has the potential produce up to 0.5" in 30-60 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: Cooler tomorrow with high temperatures in the low to mid 80's with a slightly better chance for afternoon rain showers/isolated thunderstorms, with minimal, if any threat for heavy rainfall at this time. This pattern will continue through the rest of the week and into the weekend with highs in the 80's along with a chance for afternoon rain showers/isolated thunderstorms through Sunday.
