My Mountain Town Weather From Meteorologist Steve Hamilton Morrison | Conifer | Evergreen | Pine | Bailey | Fairplay | Jefferson-Como | Alma | Lake George & Guffey | Hartsel
Some Sun, Some Showers Through Memorial Day...
Friday's temperatures will be a little cooler, but a warm-up is set through the holiday weekend. The air mass will be fairly stable, although there is enough moist air available for a few afternoon showers or thunderstorms. Daytime highs will warm up steadily through the weekend. But, if you're planning on camping or other outdoor activities in the Foothills and Mountains, be prepared for afternoon and evening precipitation. Lightning will be a risk each afternoon across our area. Keep track of changing weather conditions and incoming thunderstorms, and be ready to get to some shelter if you hear thunder. A couple of short wave troughs will cross the state during the weekend. Isolated-to-scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible Saturday and Sunday. A stronger front arrives on Memorial Day, and that will increase our precipitation chances quite a bit to wrap up the 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

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.
