| South to southwesterly flow aloft will result in generally dry conditions today. High temperatures this afternoon will reach the low to mid 90s. A slight chance for a few high-based showers/isolated thunderstorms along the foothills & Palmer Divide this afternoon and early evening. A very slight chance is that one or two of these showers will move into the metro area, however, with relatively dry conditions most, if not all precipitation will struggle to reach the surface this afternoon and evening. The best chance for any shower activity will be between 4-8pm. |
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A strong, stationary thunderstorm, or training of thunderstorm cells will have the potential to produce up to 0.60” total in under 60.
A LOOK AHEAD: Hot again tomorrow with temperatures remaining in the low to mid 90s. Another slight chance for a few isolated showers along the foothills in the afternoon and early evening. Once again minimal, if any, rainfall expected inside the District. A better chance for more widespread showers/thunderstorms Sunday with a slight chance for moderate to heavy rainfall within the District.
