Time: 859 AM Thu May 23, 2024 Forecaster: Laura Smith ------------------------- Heavy Precipitation Outlook Flash Flood Prediction Program ------------------------- Warm and sunny conditions persist across the District today Warm and uneventful conditions are expected today as southwesterly upper-level flow transports a dry desert airmass across the state. Sunny morning skies will allow afternoon temperatures to reach the upper 70s to low 80s, dew points in the mid 20s. Dry conditions will prevail through the afternoon and evening, inhibiting storm development in and around the District today. STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No rainfall is expected today. WORST CASE SCENARIO: An isolated shower develops across the foothills and produces a trace to 0.05” of rainfall in up to 60 minutes. A LOOK AHEAD: Another upper-level disturbance and its associated cold front will make its way across the High Plains overnight, followed by cooler temperatures Friday. High temperatures will be in the mid to upper 60s with slight chances for isolated afternoon to evening showers and thunderstorms, and better chances along the foothills.
