HOT SUMMERTIME CONDITIONS WITH ISOLATED AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS
The heat dome currently centered over the 4-corners region will be responsible for hot conditions though the remainder of the week. Today will be hot and partly to mostly sunny with afternoon temperatures climbing into the upper 90s, possibly exceeding 100°F in some areas. There is a chance for isolated showers and thunderstorms this afternoon through evening, with storm motions from west to east. Thunderstorm activity is expected to subside across the Front Range Urban Corridor by mid-evening.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical thunderstorms will produce moderate rainfall of up to 0.25” in 10-30 minutes. Strong thunderstorms have the potential to produce heavy rainfall up to 0.50” in 10-30 minutes.

WORST CASE SCENARIO: Anchored or training thunderstorms have the potential to produce 0.50” to 1.00” in 60 minutes.

A LOOK AHEAD: Temperatures remain in the 90s tomorrow along with a chance for afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Thursday will be similar, with highs in the mid 90s and afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Hot temperatures and isolated to scattered thunderstorm activity will continue through the remainder of the week and into the weekend.
