Showers Saturday Night And Sunday...

The big factors this weekend include fire weather conditions Friday and Saturday for most of the Foothills. Cooler temperatures will arrive late Saturday with a cold front dropping in. And, there will be a fairly good chance of precipitation late Saturday afternoon, Sunday, and possibly into Monday. Breezy, dry and warm weather Friday and Saturday will increase our wildfire risk across the Foothills, the High Country, and the Eastern Plains. The wind will pick up ahead of a cold front, that is expected late Saturday afternoon. Cooler air moves in behind the front, and we'll also get somewhat of an upslope flow, with some moist air getting transported into Colorado. That'll cause scattered showers and thunderstorms beginning Saturday night. The best rain chances will be Sunday afternoon, with showers and thunderstorms looking likely. Some occasional showers may last into Monday, and it'll stay cool.

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.
