| - | Surface moisture has surged out of the ESE this evening, with dew points now in the 40s to near 50 over the southern and eastern portions of the District. |
| - | Widely-scattered shower and thunderstorm activity may persist across portions of the District through roughly 11:00pm at the latest. Most showers and storms will remain high-based, and only produce light rainfall amounts and gusty winds. |
| - | There is a low potential that a stronger, slow-moving thunderstorm could form and produce moderate to briefly heavy rainfall. |
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A slow-moving thunderstorm anchored to a surface boundary or training of storm cells results in rainfall up to 1.20" in 30-60 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: Upper-level high pressures nudges E on Saturday, drawing moisture N into Colorado. We'll see a better chance for afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms as a result, with temperatures in the low to mid 90s expected.
