- | Southwest flow aloft will still dominate across the region today along with warm southerly surface winds will result in temperatures to reach the mid to upper 80's across the District. |
- | Lingering low-level moisture remains for showers/thunderstorms to develop across the District this afternoon. Storms will initially develop over the foothills by midday, before spreading onto the plains during afternoon, with a chance for a couple of rounds into the early evening. Storm activity should quickly taper off this evening with the loss of daytime heating. |
- | Moisture will be plentiful once again today with dew points projected in the upper 40's to low 50's this afternoon. Storm movement will be from W/SW to E/NE with typical storm motions at 10-15mph, but some storms could stall over an area for a short period of time due to outflow boundary development. If a stronger thunderstorm manages to develop, then the potential will exist for localized moderate to heavy rainfall. |
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A strong thunderstorm stalls over an area, resulting in heavy rainfall of up to 1.4" in 45-75 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: High-pressure begins to build over the region Tuesday leading to drier conditions, although there will be a slight chance for afternoon/evening showers and thunderstorms each day through the rest of this week. Surface moisture should decrease as high-pressure builds resulting in a less chance for heavy rainfall for the remainder of this week, however, only a slight uptick in available surface moisture could result in moderate to heavy rainfall chances.
