Time: 957 AM Wed May 8, 2024 Forecaster: Laura Smith ------------------------- Heavy Precipitation Outlook Flash Flood Prediction Program ------------------------- Dry conditions today with Isolated showers overnight. Today will be dry and sunny with afternoon temperatures in the upper 50s to low 60s, and dew points in the teens. Atmospheric moisture will increase overnight as a cold front washes over the Plains, supporting slight chances for a few isolated showers across the District during the early morning hours tomorrow. Dewpoints will still be relatively low early tomorrow morning, therefore any precipitation that does manage to reach the ground will be minimal. Showers will be westerly around 20-25 mph. STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical showers will produce light rainfall of up to 0.05” total in 15-30 minutes. WORST CASE SCENARIO: Stronger showers blowing off the foothills have the potential to produce up to 0.10” total rainfall 15-30 minutes. A LOOK AHEAD: Elevated moisture following the cold front will improve chances for isolated showers and thunderstorms throughout the day, becoming scattered by the afternoon and evening. Isolated storms are possible Thursday overnight, gradually decreasing in coverage during the early morning hours.
