No meaningful precipitation is expected but there could be a few isolated sprinkles over the foothills and adjacent plains but most areas will be completely dry today. - Surface winds will vary from SW to NW in the 5-15mph range with occasional higher gusts. STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No meaningful precipitation expected, mainly just a trace in areas that experience a light rain shower or sprinkle. A LOOK AHEAD: Temperatures will continue in the upper 80's to lower 90's for highs over the plains on Sunday. There will be a build up of clouds during the afternoon and an isolated rain shower or weak thunderstorm cannot be ruled out, favoring the foothills and Palmer Divide. Ay storms that do manage to develop will produce minimal moisture. MONITOR NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FOR SEVERE WEATHER STATEMENTS.
