Spring weather continues across the District as an upper-level cut off low and its associated moisture plume moves over the four-corners region today. Warmer temperatures are expected today with highs in the upper 60s to low 70s, dewpoints in the upper 30s to low 40s. Chances for scattered showers and thunderstorms will improve by the afternoon and evening. Storm motions will be from the southwest around 20 mph. Chances for showers and thunderstorms will gradually decline overnight. |
WORST CASE SCENARIO: Stronger showers blowing off the foothills have the potential to produce up to 0.25” total rainfall 15-30 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: On Sunday, the cut-off low will begin shifting east, supporting chances for showers and thunderstorms Sunday afternoon and evening. Afternoon temperatures will be in the mid to upper 60s with dewpoints in the upper 30s to low 40s. Storm motions will be from the north around 20 mph.
