Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
Slightly warmer today with another chance for afternoon and early
evening showers with possible isolated moderate to strong
thunderstorms.
High-pressure continues to build over the District this morning,
slowly moving easterly resulting in upper-level winds shifting
northwesterly this afternoon. This shift in upper-level dynamics will
effectively help storm motions today from the NW to SE between
10-20mph, limiting any long-lasting moderate to heavy rainfall.
However, with dew points still in the mid to upper 50s, a couple of
stronger storms will have the potential to produce outflow boundaries
today, bringing another chance for some erratic/stationary storm
motions leading to another chance for a few isolated heavy showers
this afternoon and into the early evening.
The best chance for storm activity this afternoon and early evening
will be between 2-9pm. The initial round of storms will likely be the
strongest during the afternoon today, bringing the best chance of
impactful rainfall producing storms, possibly severe, with another
chance for an additional round of showers in the evening before skies
clear through the overnight. Temperatures overnight will drop into the
upper 50s to around 60 degrees on the plains with upper 40s to around
50 degrees along the foothills.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical showers and isolated
thunderstorms will produce a 0.05-0.40” total in 10-30 minutes. A
moderate to strong/severe shower/thunderstorm will produce
0.40-0.80” total in 10-30 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A strong, stationary thunderstorm, or training of
thunderstorm cells will have the potential to produce up to 1.60”
total in under 30 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: Conditions start to dry out Tuesday with just a typical
chance for springtime afternoon showers/isolated thunderstorms.
Wednesday is expected to be even drier with minimal, if any, chance
for precipitation at this time across the District.
