- | Warmer today with high temperatures reaching the upper 80's to low 90's across the District with a slight chance for isolated high-based rain showers/isolated thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. |
- | High-based thunderstorms will first develop over the foothills and Palmer Divide between 12-2pm. After 2pm thunderstorms will be possible over the plains with best chances for thunderstorm activity through 8 or 9pm this evening. |
- | Surface moisture will be relatively dry through the early afternoon with dew points in the mid to upper 30's. With upper 80's to low 90's this will result high-based thunderstorms with gusty winds likely along with light to isolated moderate pockets of brief rain showers. Storm motions will be relatively fast from W to E between 10-15mph, which will limit point rainfall amounts across the District. |
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A strong thunderstorm or a slower moving thunderstorm will have the potential to produce 0.2-0.5" in 10-30 minutes and up to 1.0" in 60 minutes or less.
A LOOK AHEAD: Similar conditions in place for Thursday as high temperatures remain in the upper 80's to low 90's. Another chance Thursday afternoon for afternoon rain showers/isolated thunderstorms. A cold front moves in overnight Thursday resulting in much cooler temperatures Friday in the low 80's along with an increased chance for rain showers/thunderstorms Friday afternoon and evening.
