For 7/10/10: For Today: We are seeing some residual cloud cover early but nothing has changed in the amount of precipitable moisture or the forecast. We can still expect mostly sunny skies through the better part of the day but there is the definite possibility of isolated thundershowers building on the higher terrain through the heat of the day and spilling into the lower valleys. Plan accordingly and have layers available.

Temperatures: Lows were kept in moderation by the cloud cover with Crested Butte reporting 43 degrees and Gunnison holding to 45 degrees. Daytime highs will climb by a couple degrees with the north end of the valley expected to reach 72 degrees while Gunnison climbs to 79. Look for slightly cooler lows with clearer skies tonight but continuing to hover right around 40.

Outlook: Drier air will build into the area through Sunday and Monday with only limited fuel available for convective showers. You will need to stay prepared through tomorrow but we are looking at warmer and drier conditions through the better part of the coming week.
