Mostly Fair... Snow Showers Around Park County...

High pressure is over Central Colorado, with a low pressure trough east of the mountains. That means gusty wind and mild temperatures for the
Foothills on Monday. Along with the warm weather, we'll have gusty wind at 15 to 25 mph, with occasional gusts up to 35 mph. Fire weather conditions
will be elevated through Tuesday, with low relative humidity. It'll be a slightly different story in our Park County locations, with some snow showers
making it over the mountains, but accumulation will be around an inch or less. Snow is also forecast for the mountains, but it doesn't look like much at
this point. The lower elevations of the Foothills will stay dry, sunny and mild for a while. After Wednesday, we may see a bit of a change, with colder
temperatures and a chance of rain and snow returning to Colorado.

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.
