| High pressure continues to intensify over the Four-Corners region, supporting hot, sunny, and mostly dry conditions across the District. Today will be hot and sunny with temperatures climbing into triple digits. Dewpoints will be around 30°F with precipitable water (PWAT) values around 0.40”. These conditions will encourage dry weather with mostly sunny skies, becoming partly cloudy by the evening. A few isolated showers are possible across the foothills later this afternoon and evening but are expected to dissipate before reaching the Plains. |
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A slow-moving thunderstorm may be capable of producing 0.20” or more in 30 minutes or less.
A LOOK AHEAD: Very little change to this pattern is expected Saturday and Sunday as the heatwave remains firmly anchored over the Intermountain West. High temperatures will once again reach or exceed 100°F.
