My Mountain Town Weather From Meteorologist Steve Hamilton Morrison | Conifer | Evergreen | Pine | Bailey | Fairplay | Jefferson-Como | Alma | Lake George & Guffey | Hartsel
Some Rain And Snow on the Way... A fairly substantial change in the weather pattern is expected for the Foothills over the weekend. Temperatures will be cooler, and we'll have a decent chance of precipitation, especially Saturday into Sunday. Some of this may be snow, or a rain-snow mix, but for the most part we'll get rain showers during the daytime hours. With cooler temperatures around our Park County locations, a little bit more precipitation will be snow. No major accumulation is expected. Low pressure will cross over southeast Colorado on Saturday. There is a fairly good amount of moisture with this system, so showers will be possible not only in the Foothills, but also over the Eastern Plains. The cold front associated with the low doesn't look very strong, so overall, this system shouldn't be too disruptive for travel conditions. In other words, we won't get a blast of cold air... just an influx of cooler air. Precipitation will begin to taper off Sunday afternoon. The upcoming week should feature a few more low pressure troughs, with temperatures a bit below normal.

This is great I am so glad to know we have our own Meteorologist.
Maybe he can tell me when it will rain in Bailey so the pine pollen will go away. People tell me I live in the banana belt but have yet to see a banana tree

Great question NeutralGuy! Steve will be posting his forecasts on our new Super Local Weather Forecasts page here:
mymountaintown.com/weather-traffic/super-local-weather
which can be found in the drop-down menu that opens up when you click on Weather & Traffic in the menu across the very top of the page (or you can bookmark it!).
I too would love to see some photos and/or video while storm-chasing!

I have a real question...Where in Bailey is the temp reading coming from?
I am only asking as it says 73 right now and both my manual and digital thermometer are saying 80 they are on the back side of the house so the sun is not hitting them.
This is mostly a curiosity thing I know temps can be different depending on altitude and all that.
Do you mean the current temp that is displayed on the left-hand side of the Home & weather pages? If so, that's from Weather Underground; I have no idea where they measure it.

Unfortunately, Steve had some family health stuff come up. If everyone could send good positive healing thoughts to his family, it would be much appreciated. He's hoping to start this week, but I told him to not worry as family comes first. I'll keep you posted when he's ready! Thanks.
