My Mountain Town Weather From Meteorologist Steve Hamilton Morrison | Conifer | Evergreen | Pine | Bailey | Fairplay | Jefferson-Como | Alma | Lake George & Guffey | Hartsel
Breezy and Sunny Through Saturday... Changes Sunday...
Low rain chances are expected through Saturday, but temperatures will be warming up a bit. Upper level high pressure will stay parked over the Four Corners, with a southwest flow increasing through Saturday. Precipitation chances will stay low until Sunday. For the first part of our weekend, it looks dry and mild, with down slope wind pushing the daytime highs to above average levels. The biggest deal Saturday will be gusty wind at 25 to 35 mph for most of our communities, although lower wind gusts are expected in Evergreen and Morrison, but it'll still be breezy. Upper level flow switches to a more westerly direction on Sunday, and some moist air is expected to come in. A few showers will be possible across the Foothills, but it won't amount to much. The weather pattern changes late Sunday through Wednesday, with increasing snow chances for the Mountains, which is good news for the ski areas. Then Sunday night and Monday, we'll likely see some precipitation in the Foothills, and down into the Denver area. The next low moves in Tuesday/Wednesday, and it looks like a better chance of precipitation for the Foothills, Urban Corridor and the Palmer Divide. We may get a few leftover snow showers on Thanksgiving Day, with colder temperatures.

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.
