Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
A Hot, Hazy & Dry Day Today
A high-pressure still churns over the Four Corners region leading to
continued hazy conditions this morning. This high-pressure ridge will
slowly start to move eastward today bringing hot and dry conditions
across the region throughout the day and evening. Temperatures will
increase into the upper 90s this afternoon with hazy skies continuing
into the evening hours. Minimal cloud cover today under mostly sunny
skies. Temperatures overnight will drop into the upper 60s on the
plains with low to mid 60s along the foothills.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No precipitation is expected
today or this evening.
A LOOK AHEAD: A shift in the upper-level flow Sunday will usher in
some monsoonal moisture into the region bringing a better chance for
afternoon and evening showers/thunderstorms. The high-pressure ridge
stalls out over the Central US this week, keeping monsoonal moisture
in place leading to good chances for afternoon and evening
showers/thunderstorms Monday and Tuesday. This uptick in moisture
during the week will likely result in a chance for moderate to heavy
rainfall from Monday through Friday.
