For 7/11/10: For Today: Drier air is starting to move into the west but there are still some strong remnants from the original southern flow that will offer more thundershowers today. These will remain in the hit or miss category forming over the higher terrain first but you will want to be prepared if you are starting an adventure or project later in the day.

Temperatures: Crested Butte reported a low of 39 degrees and Gunnison popped to just above the 40 degree mark at 41 degrees. Daytime highs will top out at 70 for Crested Butte while the south end of the valley climbs toward 79 degrees. Look for another low tonight hovering just at or below 40.

Outlook: We are starting to see changes in the pattern that will mean drier conditions through the better part of this new week. A western dominated flow will have us in a dry slot pinching off the southern plume with the return of above normal temperatures and sunny skies. This will hold into Thursday before we start to see further changes.
