For 7/24/10: For Today: The southern plume is continuing to back off to the south and east but trapped remnants from our west will feed more convective activity through this afternoon. We will see mostly sunny skies dominating for the morning but look for the slow increase in cloud cover and finally thundershowers on the higher terrain by the afternoon.

Temperatures: Lows were cooler with the clear skies with Crested Butte reporting 44 degrees and Gunnison 46. Daytime highs will stay on the cooler side with all elevations holding to the 70’s. Tonight will feel a lot like last night with lows hovering right around the 45 degree mark under clearer conditions.

Outlook: We are seeing mixed conditions across the west with the southern plume moving east but some moisture working around the ridge in the west. We can expect a mix of sun early and convective activity through the afternoons into next week. Get an early start to stay dry or be prepared.
