My Mountain Town Weather From Meteorologist Steve Hamilton Morrison | Conifer | Evergreen | Pine | Bailey | Fairplay | Jefferson-Como | Alma | Lake George & Guffey | Hartsel
Windy... Snow Possible Saturday Night/Sunday...
Fire weather conditions will last through Saturday, mostly across the Eastern Plains. However, things are dry and warm in the Foothills. So, elevated fire weather risk will continue. Ahead of, and behind, a strong low and cold front, the wind will be an issue for the Foothills throughout the weekend. Damaging wind up to 80 mph will be possible for the wind-prone areas, and also for much of Park County, and the mountains. However, wind gusts up to 50 mph will be possible for the rest of the Foothills. There will be a very steep pressure gradient as high pressure moves in following the passage of the front. That will be the main cause of the gusty wind. Temperatures will be much colder Saturday night and Sunday, and we'll have a good chance of snow showers for our entire area. Then temperatures turn very warm Monday and Tuesday.
Friday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 30. Windy.
Saturday: Sunny, with a high near 54. Wind gusts: 50 mph.
Saturday Night: A chance of snow showers. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 21. Windy.
Sunday: A chance of snow showers. High near 33. Windy.

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.
