WARMER WITH ISOLATED AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
-Drier air will be moving into NE Colorado today allowing for more sunshine than previous days and temperatures warming into the upper 50's to lower 60's over the plains.
-A weak disturbance moving through this afternoon and evening will result in a chance for isolated rain showers and thunderstorms from 2-8pm. Showers and weak thunderstorms will move from W to E fairly quickly at 25-35mph. Best chances for shower and thunderstorm activity will be over southern and eastern portions of the District.
-Rainfall amounts are expected to be light but a brief moderate shower or small hail cannot be ruled out from thunderstorms. Thunderstorms may also produce gusty winds in excess of 40mph.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rain showers and weak thunderstorms will produce a trace to 0.2" in 10-30 minutes.

A LOOK AHEAD: Conditions are looking dry over the District on Friday under sunny to mostly sunny skies. The warming trend will continue with highs well into the 60's over the plains.
