Flash Flood Prediction Program

Time: 857 AM Wed August 11, 2021 Forecaster: Brad Simmons ------------------------- Heavy Precipitation Outlook Flash Flood Prediction Program ------------------------- CONTINUED HAZY, HOT AND DRY - Haze will continue to be a factor today but some improvement is expected over the coming days... Conditions will be dry under sunny to mostly sunny skies. Any shower or thunderstorm activity today is expected to remain well to the SW of the District. - Highs this afternoon will peak in the low to mid 90's over the plains and we could tie the record high at DIA. Normal high for Denver today is 88 degrees and the record high is 97 set just last year. STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No precipitation today or tonight. A LOOK AHEAD: On Thursday moisture will slowly be on the increase leading to a chance for isolated afternoon and evening thunderstorms. Showers and generally weak to moderate thunderstorms will favor the higher terrain and Palmer Divide. Heavy rainfall is not expected. Temperatures Thursday will back off into the upper 80's to lower 90's over the plains, mainly due to more cloud cover earlier in the day. A little cooler for Friday with temperatures remaining in the 80's for highs over the plains. There will be a much better chance for scattered afternoon/evening thunderstorms over the District with some storms producing a much needed wetting rain. Heavy rainfall threat Friday appears low at this time. MONITOR NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FOR SEVERE WEATHER STATEMENTS.
