Time: 903 AM Mon May 6, 2024 Forecaster: Justin Brooks ------------------------- Heavy Precipitation Outlook Flash Flood Prediction Program ------------------------- Windy and Dry Conditions for The District Today Westerly downsloping winds will inhibit any sort of storm development today. Temperatures will be slightly cooler than average for this time of year with highs around 60 degrees. Dewpoints across The District will be very low, maxing out in the upper teens, and even lower dewpoints in the foothills due to the down sloping winds. These winds will be strong with 25-35 mph with gusts up to 55 mph during the day, decreasing in strength through the evening and the overnight with gusty winds continuing into tomorrow. Overnight lows will drop into the upper 30s to low 40s on the plains and upper 20s to low 30s for the foothills. STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No precipitation is expected today or this evening. A LOOK AHEAD: Similar conditions remain in place for tomorrow with westerly winds weakening but still prevalent with speeds in the 10-30 mph range with gusts up to 40 mph at times. Dew points will continue to be in the upper teen and low 20s which will help limit moisture, but with some upper level support, some weak high based storms may develop. The high based storms may produce some precipitation, but should remain minimal as most struggles to reach the surface. Wednesday will likely remain dry and have northerly winds of 10-20 mph, with only a slight chacne for some precipitation starting overnight and into Thursday due to shallow upslope convection across the Front Range.
