My Mountain Town Weather From Meteorologist Steve Hamilton Morrison | Conifer | Evergreen | Pine | Bailey | Fairplay | Jefferson-Como | Alma | Lake George & Guffey | Hartsel
Warm, With a Slight Chance of Showers...
Daytime high temperatures will be above-average through most of the coming week. We may get a few showers over the Foothills, but precipitation chances are pretty low, (15 to 30%). Any rainfall won't amount to much. A high pressure system will be over Colorado on Monday, and should hang around for a while. Plus, a low pressure lee trough will set up east of the Foothills by Monday afternoon. That means it'll be a little breezy, and with downslope wind, temperatures will stay very warm. The hotspot will be Morrison, getting into the 80s. Highs will stay mostly in the 70s for the rest of the Foothills, except for 60s in Park County. A little bit of moist air will be stuck under the high, and might cause a few showers Tuesday and Wednesday for parts of our area. Showers will be few, and far between. So, that's our Foothills weather pattern this week. The long-range forecast models show a potential long-wave low pressure area developing over the western states by next weekend, and we may see a pattern change.

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.
