Mostly Fair And Breezy...

Warm and dry conditions will hang around Friday and Saturday, with little to no rain chances. Some parts of the Foothills will see a slight chance of
showers on Sunday afternoon. But, a bigger system may arrive Sunday night into Monday, increasing our precipitation chances. A few inches of snow 
will be possible for the mountains, with some showers across the rest of our area. It looks like we'll be much cooler next week, possibly with a few more
chances of rain or snowfall. In the meantime, most of our weekend looks nice. Temperatures Friday through Sunday will mostly be in the 50s and 60s.
The warm spot will be Morrison where we'll hit the low 70s. Cooler for the Park County Counties, with 50s. A weak cold front will back into the Front
Range, so it'll be breezy to gusty for our entire area. We'll have a slight chance of showers on Sunday afternoon, and it could be a rain/snow mix for
Park County, with little or no accumulation. The low moves northeast and away from Colorado by Monday, but it will stay cool, as we get return flow of
colder air from the Northern Plains. For now, enjoy a fair, mild and breezy weekend.

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

So, where will the forecasts be posted in this forum or on a special page?

Storm chasers fascinate me maybe you could share some of the photos you get or maybe videos!

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.

Yes, that was what I was looking at and that is good to hear Weatherunderground as that is what I typically use seems to be the closest.

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.
