Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
Warmer today with dry conditions expected through the evening
Westerly upper-level flow aloft shifts northwesterly throughout the
day ahead of building high-pressures from the southwest. Today’s
high temperatures will be slightly warmer, reaching the low to mid 80s
this afternoon under mostly sunny skies. Currently dew points are in
the low 40s and will mix out into the upper 30s this afternoon. This
will result in relative humidity values around 20% limiting any
potential precipitation across the region. Winds will be calm today
from the north/northwest between 5-10mph. This evening will continue
to be mild with partly cloudy skies. Overnight temperatures will drop
into the upper 50s to around 60 degrees on the plains with low to mid
50s along the foothills.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No precipitation is expected
today or this evening.
A LOOK AHEAD: Tomorrow will start to dry out at the surface with more
typical dew points in the upper 30s to low 40s in the afternoon. A
very slight chance for afternoon showers and isolated thunderstorms
will be possible, although with decreased dew points and high
temperatures in the upper 80s, high-based storms will be likely with
minimal rainfall expected at this time. Wednesday will be similar with
another very slight chance for high-based afternoon and evening
showers/isolated thunderstorms with minimal precipitation as most
struggle to reach the surface during peak daytime heating. This will
likely result in gusty conditions rather than any meaningful rainfall
for the plains with a slightly better chance for rainfall along the
foothills areas at this time.
