A minimal overall change to the upper-level flow aloft as northwesterly wind brings generally dry conditions across the District today. High temperatures will reach the mid to upper 80s on the plains with around 80 degrees for areas adjacent to the foothills. Mostly sunny skies throughout the morning with clouds increasing in the afternoon. A slight chance for a few high-based showers and possibly a thunderstorm or two along the higher terrain and into the foothills with minimal rainfall expected within the District boundaries. A few sprinkles to light rain cannot be completely ruled out if storms persist off the foothills, however, there will be a better chance for gusty winds rather than any meaningful precipitation. Skies will clear out during the evening hours with mild and dry conditions through the overnight. Overnight temperatures will drop into the mid to upper 50s on the plains with low to mid 50s along the foothills. |
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A moderate to strong shower/thunderstorm will have the potential to produce 0.05”-0.25” total in 10-30 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: Very little change tomorrow will bring similar conditions for the District. Slightly warmer high temperatures with highs flirting with 90 degrees by the afternoon. Sunday will likely be mild and dry throughout most of the day. A slight chance for a few high-based showers and possibly a thunderstorm or two in the afternoon, mainly along the foothills. Minimal, if any, precipitation will be expected inside the District throughout the day Sunday.
