Continued Hot For The Next Week.
Today.

Thursday.
Friday.
Hot dry conditions are forecast to continue for the local area into the end of next week. A dome of high pressure in the mid-upper levels of the atmosphere centered over the Central Rockies this morning will dominate our weather into the end of next week. This effectively acts as a lid on a pot on a stove trapping heat underneath it. Some of the models argue that a shift in the location of the center of the high by the end of next week may open up the door for a more southerly flow and influx of moisture into the area. Thus more seasonal like temps and increased chances for thunderstorms...maybe.
Valid Today Through Tuesday, July 16th, 2019.
Current forecasts call for the best chances for any storms to occur over and near the northern mountains of the state.
