| - | Thunderstorm activity is expected to be relatively light and isolated today. Highs this afternoon will reach the upper 80's to low 90's, dewpoints in the mid 40's. |
| - | Isolated afternoon thunderstorms that develop will be high-based producing mainly light rainfall and gusty winds. Best chances for thunderstorms today will be over the foothills and Palmer Divide between 2-8pm. |
| - | Dry conditions are expected for the remainder of the evening and overnight period. |
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A stronger thunderstorm is able to develop with the potential to produce rainfall rates of 0.2-0.5" in 10-30 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: High pressure ridging continues across the intermountain west, transporting monsoonal moisture into the state throughout the weekend and into next week. Sunday will be similar with highs in the upper 80s to low 90s and a slight chance for isolated afternoon thunderstorms. Temperatures return to the mid 90’s next week as a heat wave builds into Colorado.
