- | Not much has changed to the overall weather pattern as NW upper-level flow will continue to dominate over the region today leading to high temperatures in the low to upper 90's across the plains with low to upper 80's along the foothills |
- | A weak disturbance will move in this afternoon bringing a chance for a few scattered high-based rain showers/thunderstorms, although it is likely that any precipitation will struggle to reach the ground today resulting in a good chance for gusty winds and dry lightning under cells that do produce rain that evaporates before making it to the ground. Storm movement will be from the NW to SE at 10-20mph which will also help limit any point rainfall amounts under cells that are capable of producing light to moderate rainfall. Best chance to see any storm development will be from 3-8pm with skies clearing out after sunset. |
- | Overnight lows will drop into the low to upper 60's across the plains with mid to upper 50's along the foothills. |
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A large, slower moving thunderstorm formed off an outflow boundary may produce rainfall amounts of up to 0.8" in 45-60 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: Hot temperatures will continue through the weekend with highs expected to remain in the 90's. Another chance for rain/isolated thunderstorms Thursday afternoon and early evening, although the threat for any heavy rainfall will be minimal at best. Precipitation chances dwindle heading into the weekend, although a 10-20% chance for afternoon/early evening rain/isolated thunderstorms well persist through Sunday.
