HOT AGAIN WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR AFTERNOON/EARLY EVE HGH-BASED RAIN
SHOWERS/ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
-
After reaching the record of 100°F out at DIA yesterday, today will
have the same opportunity as highs are projected in the mid to upper
90's this afternoon. The record high for Denver is 97°F which was set
back in 1952. There will be a slight chance for high-based afternoon
and early evening rain showers/isolated thunderstorms.
-
Best chance for high-based rain showers/isolated thunderstorms will
be between noon and 6pm. Storm motions will be from W/SW to E/NE
between 10-15mph which will also help limit any point rainfall
amounts. There is a very slight chance storms will become severe,
mainly due to high winds of 60mph+ with a better chances the further
east of the I-25 corridor. Skies will gradually begin to clear after
6pm.
-
Overnight lows will drop into the low to mid 60's across the plains
with mid to upper 50's along the foothills with mild and dry
conditions expected through daybreak Monday.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Typical rain showers or a weak
thunderstorm will produce a trace to 0.1" of rain in 30 minutes or
less. A moderate thunderstorm could produce 0.1-0.3" of rainfall in 30
minutes or less.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A stronger, slow-moving thunderstorm is able to
develop and will have the potential to produce 0.3-0.8" of rainfall in
45-60 minutes.
A LOOK AHEAD: Another hot, breezy day Monday with high temperatures
remaining in the 90's with dry conditions expected throughout the day
and evening. A cold front moves in Tuesday effectively dropping high
temperatures back to a more seasonable low to mid 80's. Not much
moisture is associated with the front, which will likely keep
conditions dry at this time. Wednesday will jump back into the upper
80's to around 90°F with continued dry conditions.
