Time: 921 AM Sun September 1, 2024 Forecaster: Tim Tonge ------------------------- Heavy Precipitation Outlook Flash Flood Prediction Program ------------------------- Warm and dry again across District Wash, rinse, and repeat! Another lovely dry day is in store for the District today, and Labor Day weekend plans will go off without a hitch. The high-pressure ridge has centered itself over Larimer and Weld counties in northern Colorado, where it will remain for the day. This ridge is exceptionally dry, and afternoon dewpoints will be in the low 30s while the ridge's general sinking motion will suppress all convection today. The strengthening of an upper-level low over northern Mexico will force the development of stronger winds this afternoon and evening, but otherwise the skies will be mostly cloud-free through the afternoon, evening, and overnight. STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No rainfall is expected within the District today. A LOOK AHEAD: The ridge will start to break down tomorrow, and moisture will increase west of the Continental Divide as a result. A stray shower or two late tomorrow afternoon may squeak across the Divide, but any rainfall near the District is still expected to be zero. An approaching trough will allow more moisture to arrive, increasing storm odds slightly for Tuesday. The trough will arrive Wednesday, delivering a cold front in the evening and an increased chance for showers and thunderstorms Wednesday and Thursday.
