| - | Mid to upper-level monsoonal moisture continues to move into the region today leading to another chance for moderate to brief heavy rainfall this afternoon and early evening. Currently temperatures already in the mid to upper 70's and will increase into the mid 80's to around 90°F this afternoon. Breezy winds out of the SSW will remain throughout the day with gusts between 25-35mph at times. |
| - | Scattered rain showers/thunderstorms likely this afternoon, best chance will be between 1-9pm with 1-3 rounds of rain showers and isolated thunderstorms expected into the early evening. Storm motions will be fairly brisk from the SSW to NNE between 15-25mph, helping limit point rainfall amounts, however, training of thunderstorms today could lead to an increase chance for longer lasting moderate to briefly heavy rainfall. Storm today will also produce gusty winds along with hail up to 1" in diameter resulting in a very low chance for storms to become severe this afternoon. |
| - | By sunset, rain shower activity and breezy conditions decrease as skies gradually clearing through the overnight and into Monday morning. Overnight lows will drop into the upper 50's to low 60's on the plains with low to mid 50's along the foothills. |
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A stronger thunderstorm or training of thunderstorm cells may result in up to 1.0" of rainfall in 45-60 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: Conditions dry out Monday as high-pressure starts to build back over the region. This will lead to similar high temperatures in the upper 80's to low 90's across the District along with continued breezy conditions throughout the day. A cold front moves through Tuesday, effectively dropping high temperatures into the 80's with a slight chance for a few rain showers/isolated thunderstorms, mainly along the Palmer Divide at this time. A better chance for rain showers for the District Wednesday, however the threat for heavy rainfall remains minimal at best.
