Mostly Sunny with slight chances for Isolated Showers
Temperatures across the Front Range Urban Corridor will rebound today as high pressure ridging resumes over the Intermountain West. Afternoon highs climb into the mid 70s, dewpoints in the mid 30s. Skies will be mostly sunny with slight chances of afternoon and evening isolated showers, mostly along complex terrain. Skies will be clear overnight with mostly dry conditions expected tomorrow.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: If showers develop, they could produce light rainfall of up to 0.05” total in 15-30 minutes.

WORST CASE SCENARIO: Stronger showers blowing off the foothills have the potential to produce up to 0.10” total rainfall 15-30 minutes.

A LOOK AHEAD: The warming trend continues Friday as temperatures reach the low 80s. Winds will be from the west-southwest between 5-10 mph, with slight chances for isolated afternoon to evening showers. Saturday will be similar with highs around 80°F and better chances for showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening.
