Flash Flood Prediction Program

ANOTHER WARM, SUNNY, AND DRY DAY TODAY
-High-pressure starts to build today leading to another day with temperatures well above the seasonal low 70's with highs this afternoon reaching the upper 70's to low 80's on the plains with low to mid 70's along the foothills. Mostly sunny skies to start the day with clouds increasing this afternoon.
-Winds will be mild and variable across the District this morning and will pick up slightly this morning from the NE at 10-15mph gusting to 20mph at times with winds decreasing after sunset. Winds will be strongest this afternoon, from noon-6pm favoring the eastern portions of the District and will weaken into this evening, becoming light and variable through the overnight.
-A few high-based rain showers will be possible along the Palmer Divide this afternoon and early evening. However, most precipitation will struggle to reach the surface, with no precipitation expected within the District boundaries. Overnight lows will dip into the upper 40's to low 50's across the District, along with mild conditions into Monday morning.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No precipitation is expected today or this evening.

A LOOK AHEAD: Monday will start off mild and dry with mostly sunny skies as high temperatures increase well into the 80's along the plains. A very slight chance for scattered high-based rain showers/isolated thunderstorms in the afternoon and early evening, with minimal precipitation expected at this time as most rain showers evaporate before reaching the surface. Similar conditions Tuesday with another chance for scattered high-based rain showers/isolated thunderstorms in the afternoon/evening. An uptick in moisture Wednesday will bring a better chance for some impactful rain showers with likely a low chance for a heavy rainfall threat at this time.
