Plan On A Few Afternoon Thunderstorms...
Best Rain Chances Sunday And Labor Day...

Friday, we'll still have high pressure covering most of Colorado. But, a few afternoon thunderstorms or showers may pop up in the Foothills and the mountains during the afternoon. The high pressure area should flatten out a little, allowing a trickle of monsoon moisture back up into our area. Any rain Friday won't amount to much, but things change over the weekend. A low pressure wave will move in from the west on Saturday, as the high shifts a little further east. That setup will increase the monsoon flow, with slightly better precipitation chances for the Foothills during the afternoon. The moisture plume will keep up on Sunday and Labor Day. Things look favorable for "scattered to likely" afternoon showers and thunderstorms. If you're planning outdoor activities this weekend, just be ready for some afternoon thunderstorm activity. A little cooler next week, with a continued chance of afternoon showers.

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 :P

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.
