Flash Flood Prediction Program

Time: 959 AM Wed May 22, 2024 Forecaster: Laura Smith ------------------------- Heavy Precipitation Outlook Flash Flood Prediction Program ------------------------- Warm and sunny conditions emerge across the District today Warmer temperatures are expected today as sunny morning skies allow afternoon highs to reach the low to mid 70s, dewpoints in the low 20s. Uneventful conditions are expected throughout the day and overnight as a dry airmass works its way across the region. Overnight, skies will remain clear with low temperatures dipping into the upper 40s. STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No rainfall is expected today. WORST CASE SCENARIO: An isolated shower develops across the foothills and produces a trace to 0.05” of rainfall in up to 60 minutes. A LOOK AHEAD: The warming trend continues Thursday with sunny skies and highs in the upper 70s to low 80s. Dry air and poor upper-level support will continue to inhibit storm development across the Plains. However, a slight chance for light isolated afternoon showers are possible across complex terrain.
