For 7/17/10: For Today: Nothing has changed in the western weather pattern but that moisture in the southwest is starting to try to work it’s way into the area. We will see mostly sunny skies all day but these continued hot temperatures will activate any available moisture through the afternoon and clouds are likely with an isolated thundershower not out of the question.

Temperatures: Lows were back up to the mid 40’s with Crested Butte reporting 44 degrees and 46 degrees for Gunnison. Highs today will hit their peak for the week with 81 degrees for Crested Butte while Gunnison presses for 90. Look for another night in the mid to low 40’s tonight.

Outlook: Moisture is starting to build in the south again and the ridge blocking our area will be gone by the beginning of the week. Look for drier conditions to hold through Sunday but by Monday night we will see those thundershowers returning.
