Highs today will be in the upper 80s to low 90s, with a chance of tying the record high of 92°F set back in 1892. Precipitable water values are lower than yesterday, 0.50” to 0.60”, and lower dew points with mid to upper 30s. These values should suggest again that Message level rainfall should be possible, but due to the upper atmosphere being very dry and the high pressure system over the Intermountain West will limit any storms/precipitation from developing. Lows tonight will drop the upper 50s to low 60s in the plains and mid to upper 50s for the foothills.

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

A LOOK AHEAD: Not much is in the cards for change precipitation wise for the next several days, the only event in sight is a cold front Tuesday cooling the afternoon temperatures to just above normal values, around the upper 70s to low 80s. Wednesday may see another record high for The District and a tying of the record for the latest 90° day for the year. Fall-like conditions should continue to settle in the coming weeks.
