- | Warm temperatures continue today before high-pressure starts to break down as a small disturbance moves over the region resulting in a chance for showers/isolated thunderstorms this afternoon and early evening. Mostly sunny skies today will bring temperatures into the low 90's over the plains, with low to mid 80's for the foothills |
- | Relatively wide temperature/dew point spreads this afternoon suggests high based storms, resulting in gusty winds and light showers off the foothills with storm intensities increasing east of I-25 where slightly better surface moisture will be present allowing for a better chance of moderate showers favoring the eastern portion of the District with the threat for heavy rain remaining low |
- | Today's showers and thunderstorms will track from W/SW to E/NE at around 10-15mph, with the best chance for a storm over the District occurring between 1pm-8pm. |
WORST CASE SCENARIO: Surface moisture remains higher than expected, allowing a strong thunderstorm to produce rainfall up to 0.60" in 10-30 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: As high-pressure starts to break down, upper level flow becomes more favorable over the District Sunday and Monday resulting in a good chance of showers and thunderstorms as moisture also increases over the region. Sunday will have a slight chance of storms becoming severe, favoring northeastern Colorado, although a strong to severe storm in the District can't be ruled out at this time.
