| - | Isolated thunderstorm activity is expected across the District today. Highs this afternoon will reach the mid 90's, dewpoints in the mid 40's to low 50's. Best chances for thunderstorms today will be across the foothills between noon through 7pm. |
| - | Showers and thunderstorms are expected to initiate across higher terrain around noon. Storms will move east-southeast around 10-20 mph as they traverse the plains. High-based storms will produce light to briefly moderate rainfall and gusty winds. |
