My Mountain Town Weather From Meteorologist Steve Hamilton Morrison | Conifer | Evergreen | Pine | Bailey | Fairplay | Jefferson-Como | Alma | Lake George & Guffey | Hartsel
The Arctic Blast Will Miss Colorado...
Personally, if we're going to have frigid temperatures around here, I want it to at least deliver snowfall. But, we're going to luck out with the Arctic air mass that's set to plunge into the Northern Plains, the Midwest, and all the way down into the Southeastern States over the weekend. Daytime highs there will be well below average. For us, things stay pretty mild and dry through the weekend. Strong high pressure is located over Central Colorado, and in the Southwestern States. These systems will keep downslope wind over the Foothills, resulting in above-average temperatures through Sunday. Highs will at least get into the 50s, but a little cooler for the Park County locations. We'll see some 60s around Conifer, Evergreen and Morrison. So, that's good news for your utility bills. It looks like a pretty nice weekend, with the downslope flow drying out the air, resulting in low precipitation chances. The only hitch will be breezy to gusty wind through the weekend, with gusts at 25 to 35 mph. Other than that, we're looking fair and mild for a while.

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.
