-	Today will be dry and warm with sunny skies as broad scale subsidence moves into the Colorado territory. Very dry conditions with dewpoints around 30°F are expected across The District as well. These conditions will obstruct development of showers and thunderstorms today and tonight.
-	A warming trend across the state begins as a high-pressure system builds over the Desert Southwest. Temperatures are expected to reach the upper 80’s to low 90’s across The District today.
-	Skies will remain mostly clear through this evening and overnight. Dew points will increase slightly after dark to around 35°F, but synoptic scale subsidence will once again inhibit development of showers in the area.

STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No precipitation is expected today or this evening.

A LOOK AHEAD: Tomorrow looks similar, with temperatures once again reaching the upper 80’s to low 90’s under clear skies and gusty winds. Downslope winds and extremely dry conditions are expected to increase the fire weather risk across parts of north and central Colorado on Thursday. A dip in the upper-level jet will pass over northern Colorado early on Friday, dragging a weak cool front across the plains. This front will bring slightly cooler temperatures to the area, lowering Friday’s high temperature to the mid 80’s. While no precipitation across The District is expected at this time, a small moisture increase on Friday will reduce fire weather conditions across the state.
