- | High-pressure will start to build today leading to generally dry conditions with a very slight chance for some isolated rain showers/thunderstorms along the foothills. High temperatures this afternoon will reach the mid to upper 70's on the plains with low 70's along the foothills. |
- | A few isolated rain showers/thunderstorms will initiate along the Continental Divide around midday, with a few of those storms moving eastward and onto the foothills this afternoon. N/NW winds aloft should help limit any storms from moving onto the plains as most storms will keep anchored to the higher terrain. Best chance for storms will be from 1-5pm with conditions drying out into the evening as skies clear into the overnight. |
- | Overnight will be mild, with temperatures dropping into the low 50's. |
WORST CASE SCENARIO: An anchored foothill rain shower or moderate thunderstorm could produce 0.2-0.5" in 45-60 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: High-pressure will hold through the rest of the week with generally dry conditions although a few high-based storms with minimal precipitation cannot be completely ruled out. High temperatures will only increase through the weekend with 80's expected Thursday/Friday with highs around 90 degrees for Saturday. Saturday will also bring a chance for afternoon rain showers/thunderstorms although the threat for heavy rainfall looks minimal at this time.
