A Few Thunderstorms Over The Holiday Weekend...

Temperatures will be a little warmer on Friday, with high pressure strengthening over Central Colorado. Most of our area will be in the 70s to low 80s, but quite a bit cooler up in Park County. Much warmer around Morrison with highs near 90. Precipitation will be low on Friday, with some activity over the Northeast Plains, but that's about it. Following a shortwave trough Friday night, we'll have a southeasterly flow, bringing in a bit more moist air and some upslope flow by Saturday. There will also be some modest wind shear, and steep lapse rates, with a sharp drop-off in temperatures with elevation. All of this supports a few thunderstorms or showers during the afternoon. Rain chances will be fairly low, but some storms will at least be possible Saturday afternoon. If you're planning outdoor activities, lightning, damaging wind and some hail will be the big issues. We'll see scattered showers and thunderstorms again Sunday afternoon. The next decent chance of rain may arrive Tuesday.

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.
