This fall dry spell will continue today. Clear skies will persist as an upper-level ridge begins to takes its hold over Colorado, delivering a hot, dry airmass in the process. Afternoon highs will push into the upper 80s District-wide today, then a cool night that bottoms out in the mid 50s will follow.

STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No rainfall is expected within the District today.

A LOOK AHEAD: Tomorrow will be the peak of the ridge's strength, with an orientation that favors near 90°F afternoon temps that will drop off overnight as a cold front sweeps through. Friday and Saturday will be a few degrees cooler before Sunday threatens to break 90°F again. Chances of rainfall through the beginning of next week are essentially zero.
