Heavy Precipitation Outlook
Flash Flood Prediction Program
-------------------------
HOT AGAIN WITH DRY CONDITIONS LIKELY
Very little change to the overall pattern today as southwesterly
flow aloft continues, resulting in dry conditions today. A very slight
chance for a few high-based showers/isolated thunderstorms along the
Continental Divide this afternoon and early evening with any
precipitation mixing out before moving into the District. High
temperatures this afternoon will reach the low to mid 90s. This
evening will continue mild and dry with overnight temperatures
dropping into the 60s.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No precipitation is expected
today or this evening.
A LOOK AHEAD: High pressure starts to break down tomorrow leading to a
good chance for widespread showers/thunderstorms with at least a LOW
chance for brief moderate to heavy rainfall within the District. At
this time, the largest threat would be a quick 0.5” in 10-15 minutes
as storm motions between 10-20mph are expected to help limit point
rainfall amounts. A couple of rounds of storms will be possible with
the first in the afternoon, likely between 1-4pm with another round
into the evening between 6-9pm. Skies will gradually clear overnight
tomorrow with mild conditions heading into Monday. A slight chance for
showers/isolated thunderstorms Monday, however, the threat of heavy
rainfall will be minimal at best.
