Time: 907 AM Wed July 31, 2024 Forecaster: Laura Smith ------------------------- Heavy Precipitation Outlook Flash Flood Prediction Program ------------------------- Another Hot, Dry, and Smoky day. Smoke from the Alexander Mountain wildfire in the Larimer County foothills, and now the Stone Canyon wildfire in the Boulder County foothills will be visible across the skies today as upper-level winds carry smoke plumes southeast. High temperatures this afternoon will be in the upper 90s, dewpoints around 30°F, and precipitable water (PWAT) values around 0.45”. These conditions will support dry weather today and tonight across the District. Overnight temperatures will dip into the low to mid 60s with dry conditions persisting tomorrow morning. STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Rainfall is not expected in the District today. A LOOK AHEAD: The long-range forecast remains somewhat underwhelming with the arrival of an upper-level disturbance tomorrow. Atmospheric moisture will increase slightly, resulting in PWAT values up to 0.75” and dew points in the mid 40s. No significant precipitation is expected with this pattern, but there is a slight chance for isolated showers and storms tomorrow and Friday.
