| - | Northwesterly upper-level flow aloft today will create warm conditions as high temperatures reach the low to mid 80's, dew points in the low 50's, by this afternoon. An upper level disturbance moves through the region today supporting a chance for afternoon rain showers/isolated thunderstorms. |
| - | Storm chances today will be low today as PW values across the District will reach 0.75-0.90 inches. However, a chance remains for a few rain showers/isolated thunderstorms this afternoon with the best chance between 1PM-7PM. Thunderstorm activity will favor the foothills, areas near the Palmer Divide, and east of the District today. Storm motions will be slow today, between 5-10mph from the NW to SE. |
| - | Overnight, skies will gradually clear with mild conditions expected. Lows will drop into the upper 50's to low 60's be daybreak Saturday. |
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A slow-moving or anchored rain shower/thunderstorm will have the potential to produce 0.6"-1.2" in 10 to 30 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: High pressure ridging remains the dominate pattern over the intermountain west, creating warm conditions across the District throughout the week. Tomorrow, high temperatures reach the mid to upper 80s with a slight chance for isolated afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Wednesday will be similar with highs in the mid to upper 80s and a slight chance for isolated thunderstorm activity. By the end of the week, an upper-level disturbance over the Pacific Northwest will transport a plume of moisture into the region, supporting increased thunderstorm activity. On Thursday and Friday, scattered showers and thunderstorms are likely as high temperatures remain in the mid 80s.
