For 7/14/10: For Today: Remnants from the moisture this weekend are continuing to slowly clear the area and significantly drier conditions are expected for today but especially tomorrow. In the interim you will want to expect sunny and hot conditions for most of the day but will also need to be prepared for very isolated thunder cells through the late afternoon building on the higher terrain.

Temperatures: Lows were moderated by the nocturnal thundershowers and cloud cover with Crested Butte holding at a balmy 46 degrees and Gunnison only dropping to 49 degrees. Highs will start their climb today with 75 expected for Crested Butte and 84 for Gunnison. Lows tonight will stay mild but be cooler than last night holding closer to 40.

Outlook: Models are continuing to show drier conditions in the west but the coinciding increase in temperatures through the southwest is helping to produce storms. Expect highs climbing to 90 for Gunnison by the weekend and mostly sunny skies on the whole but stay prepared just in case for very scattered thunder cells.
