| - | Flow aloft turns more westerly across Colorado Wednesday, which will continue the trend of summer-like temperatures along the Front Range. Look for afternoon highs in the mid 80s today with plenty of sunshine expected this morning. |
| - | Similar to previous days, enough moisture remains for isolated showers and thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. Today’s storms will be high-based and produce little rainfall, with gusty outflow winds and lightning being the greatest hazards. |
| - | Today's storms will track in an easterly direction at 15-20mph, with the best chance for a storm over the District occurring between about 2pm-7pm. |
WORST CASE SCENARIO: An isolated stronger thunderstorm or training of storm cells over the same area results in rainfall up to 0.40" in 60-90 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: Temperatures peak across the region on Thursday, with building SW flow aloft ahead of a Pacific trough of low pressure. Afternoon highs will be in the mid to upper 80s, with continued chances for isolated, high-based storms.
