Snow For The Mountains... A Little For The Foothills...
Low pressure is set to develop and strengthen over Eastern Colorado on Friday night into Saturday. Moist air will move into the mountains, which is good news, with accumulation of 7 to 14 inches possible. As for the Foothills, we won't get anywhere near that much, with a mostly downslope flow. It will be windy for most of the weekend, with gusts at 25 to 35 mph possible, but only minor snow accumulation. Most of the mountains are under a Winter Storm Warning until 11 p.m. Saturday. Snow and blowing snow will cause travel issues, so if you're going up to ski, or just travel, be ready for winter driving conditions. Some roads may be temporarily closed due to poor visibility and icy roads. We'll have minimal impacts in the Foothills, with the cold front coming in from the northwest. That usually results in only light snow for us. Back to sunshine on Sunday, with highs mostly in the 30s.

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.
