For 7/19/10: For Today: The beginning of the changes we were expecting in the western weather pattern are falling into place and today will look a lot like yesterday with just enough moisture lifting north to fuel scattered thundershowers this afternoon. Look for one more day of the really warm temperatures so the cloud cover and an isolated shower will be a nice relief.

Temperatures: With the clearer skies lows dropped back to the mid 40’s with Crested Butte reporting 44 degrees and 47 for Gunnison. Highs will be slightly cooler with 79 degrees expected for the north end of the valley while Gunnison hits 87. Lows tonight will look a lot like last night hovering again in the mid 40’s.

Outlook: Tuesday will be our day of transition as the ridge to the south pushes east and the monsoonal flow returns to the area. We will see cooler temperatures and more consistent afternoon showers through Thursday before we dry again into the weekend.
