Still no meaningful rain chances to talk about for at least the next 5 days. Enjoy the dry weather!
Although temperatures thru Wednesday will be in the mid to upper 90s. Heat index values could creep up to around 100 degrees, but not nearly as bad as last week. Continue to take it easy if you have to be outside for long periods of time.
PSA:
Rain chances today will be confined to the Plateau, leaving us dry. Concert-goers, fair-goers, any outdoor plan-goers, all good to go.
Although it’ll still be hot, it’s still summertime after all. Dewpoints will be in the upper 60s this week, making the heat a bit more manageable.
The hot weather isn’t going anywhere. High temps in the 90s for at least the next 6 days. Heat index values will continue to be around 100° during this time.
We have one more day of Wattery chances before a pattern shift gives us several days of dry weather.
The heat continues.
A Heat Advisory will be in effect until 7pm Thursday.
Heat index values up to 110° will be possible.
Temperatures in the upper 90s paired with dewpoints in the low to mid 70s will make already-bad upper 90s feel even worse. If outdoors, take frequent breaks in the shade, drink plenty of water and check in on friends + family who may not have air conditioning.
Lots to talk about.
First – hot.
Heat Advisory will be in effect today and Wednesday from noon to 7pm.
Heat index values up to 110° possible both days.
If outdoors for long periods of time, take frequent breaks and stay hydrated. Look before you lock – never leave children or pets in a parked car.
Both our counties will be under a Heat Advisory from noon to 7pm on Tuesday.
Heat index values up to 109° will be possible.
Take precautions if outdoors – take frequent breaks, drink plenty of water, wear light clothing…
Although more isolated than yesterday, a few folks will draw winning Wattery tickets this afternoon and evening. Brief heavy rain + lightning possible.
Much higher rain chances exist Sunday + Monday.
18z HRRR model (above) shows chances for showers/storms getting going early Sunday morning, continuing throughout the day. Any storm could contain lightning, heavy rain + gusty winds.
Can’t seem to shake the daily Wattery chances – we can blame the moist, soupy airmass for that.
Each day thru the middle of next week will have:
Lower rain chances Saturday, higher chances Sunday + Monday – but chances exist every day.
To start out, the new drought monitor came out today. The “update” is that there are no changes.
For our two counties, no changes have been made since last week. Most of us in the Abnormally Dry category, with some folks in extreme southern WillCo. in a Moderate Drought.
Sorry to sound like the forecast is stuck on repeat but hit or miss (mostly miss) rain chances continue to be the focus of the forecast.
A few folks may see a shower/non-severe storms over the next couple of hours this evening, but activity should be winding down as we head towards sunset.
