Time: 948 AM Tue August 10, 2021 Forecaster: Brad Simmons ------------------------- Heavy Precipitation Outlook Flash Flood Prediction Program ------------------------- HAZE EXPECTED TO WORSEN AS THE DAY WEARS ON WITH GENERALLY DRY CONDITIONS - A cool front made its way across the District last night, displacing some of the surface smoke and briefly improving air quality conditions this morning. Under westerly flow aloft, another smoke plume has started to spill over the Front Range and into the I-25 corridor. Hazy conditions are expected to worsen throughout today and into the evening hours. - Behind the front temperatures will be cooler than yesterday but still above seasonal averages in the lower 90's over the plains with 70's and 80's in the Front Range foothills. Normal high for Denver today is 89 degrees. - Dry conditions are expected to prevail but an isolated high-based shower or weak thunderstorm cannot be completely ruled out this afternoon between 3-8pm. No meaningful precipitation expected, less than 0.10" with gusty winds and possibly a sprinkle being the most likely outcome. STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No meaningful precipitation expected today or tonight, less than 0.10" from high-based showers/weak thunderstorms. A LOOK AHEAD: Another hot, dry and hazy day on Wednesday then chances for thunderstorms return to the District on Thursday/Friday and continue through the upcoming weekend. Heavy rainfall is not expected from thunderstorm activity at this time. MONITOR NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FOR SEVERE WEATHER STATEMENTS.
