A Few Showers Through Memorial Day...

For Thursday, a cold front will arrive over northwest Colorado, with a low pressure system moving across northern New Mexico. That combination will
bring scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms, mostly Thursday afternoon and evening over the Foothills. Precipitation tapers off to widely-
scattered afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms on Friday. The weekend looks warmer and drier, with isolated to scattered precipitation
mostly during the afternoon hours. A few spots, mostly in Park County, may get a mix of rain and snow during the overnight and early morning hours, but no significant accumulation is expected. Temperatures will warm up quite a bit on Sunday, with afternoon highs getting well into the 60s. Rain chances go up a little bit on Memorial Day, but we shouldn't see widespread rainfall. If you're planning outdoor activities on Saturday or Memorial Day, just watch out for a few thunderstorms during the afternoon hours.

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.
