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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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… read more

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. read more

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:

• chances for showers/storms – mostly in the afternoon + evening
• no one knows exactly when/where they may pop-up
• lightning and heavy rain possible with any storm
• localized minor flooding possible with some of the heavier rain – watch out for ponding on roadways
• no severe weather concerns, but maybe some gusty winds in some storms

Lower rain chances Saturday, higher chances Sunday + Monday – but chances exist every day. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Although pretty much everyone got at least some rain this morning, activity has been more isolated this afternoon. Some of us have picked up a decent amount of rain, others not so much.

Showers/non-severe storms will diminish in coverage as we head towards sunset tonight. read more
