| - | Flow aloft will be westerly this morning, becoming northwesterly by the afternoon. Very hot temperatures in the mid to upper 90's are expected again today, with dew points in the upper 40's to low 50's. These conditions will favor isolated showers across the District. Thunderstorm activity will produce minimal precipitation, with a very low chance for moderate to heavy rainfall. |
| - | Storms will begin developing over the foothills around noon and are expected to move east across the District. Prime time for storms today is from 12pm to 8pm. Typical thunderstorms will produce light to briefly moderate rainfall, mostly favoring areas in and around the foothills. |
| - | Skies will gradually clear this evening with mild and dry conditions expected through the overnight and into Wednesday. Overnight lows will dip into the low to mid 60's on the plains with low to mid 50's along the foothills. |
WORST CASE SCENARIO: Thunderstorms anchoring to the foothills or outflow boundary will have the potential to produce moderate to briefly heavy rainfall of 0.4-0.8" in 10-30 minutes and up to 1.5" in 45-60 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: Hot conditions with afternoon showers and thunderstorms will continue this week as a heat dome remains parked over the four-corners region. Similar conditions are expected Wednesday and Thursday as high temperatures remain in the 90's with a round of afternoon showers and thunderstorms. This pattern is expected to continue through the remainder of this week and into the weekend.
