- | Another well above average temperature day with highs well into the 80's on the plains with mid to upper 70's along the foothills this afternoon. Best chance for rain shower/isolated thunderstorm activity today will be from noon until 8pm with a few lingering rain showers possible through the evening and into the overnight with minimal precipitation expected. |
- | With high temperatures in the 80's with dew points dropping to the low 30's this afternoon will result in a couple of rounds of high-based rain showers with minimal precipitation expected as most rainfall will struggle to reach the surface. However, if moisture does increase at the surface this afternoon, a few stronger storms have the potential to develop this evening bringing isolated moderate to heavy rainfall. A few isolated thunderstorms cannot be completely ruled out also, favoring the foothills and areas northward towards the Colorado/WY border through the afternoon and evening at this time. |
- | Rainfall chances for the District taper off after midnight as overnight lows drop into low to mid 50's on the plains, with mid to upper 40's along the foothills. Mild and dry conditions are expected through daybreak Wednesday. |
WORST CASE SCENARIO: An increase in surface moisture has the potential to produce moderate to strong thunderstorm, or training of thunderstorms with the potential for moderate to brief heavy rainfall of 0.4-1.2" in 30-60 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: An uptick in moisture Wednesday will result in a better chance for widespread afternoon/eve rain/thunderstorms with a low chance at this time for a heavy rainfall threat. A break in the pattern Thursday with mostly dry conditions throughout the day, with a chance for late evening rain showers with off and on rain showers through the day Friday with a chance for rain/mix and possibly some snow Friday evening and into Saturday morning.
