HOT SUMMERTIME CONDITIONS WITH ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS
Afternoon highs will reach the low to mid 90s with dew points in the low 30s today. Storm activity will be broadly limited to complex terrain. With dew point depressions around 60°F, any storms that happen to roll onto the plains will only produce virga.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No Rainfall is expected across the District today.

WORST CASE SCENARIO: A stray shower rolls off the foothills onto the plains and produces a trace to 0.25” in 30-45 minutes.

A LOOK AHEAD: The heat dome begins to meander east today, followed by a wave of unsettled weather through the end of the week. Tomorrow, afternoon temperatures will reach the low to mid 90s with a chance for afternoon to evening showers and thunderstorms. As upper-level conditions continue to shift east overnight, the remnants of a tropical system will move into the state. This wave of moisture will support cooler temperatures and rainy conditions through the end of the week and possibly into the weekend. There is still some uncertainty about details and timing, which will depend on the track of this system. We will continue to monitor conditions as they develop over the coming days.
