For 7/28/10: For Today: The moisture lifting around the southern ridge to our west is starting the slow march through our area and the slower wetting rains that we saw yesterday will also be a threat for today. The cloud cover we are seeing early isn’t holding much moisture but once temperatures start to rise expect them to form slow moving and potentially stronger cells which will intensify into the afternoon.

Temperatures: Heavy cloud cover overnight kept the low temperatures in check with Crested Butte reporting 51 degrees and Gunnison holding to 52. Highs will stay cool under the heavy cloud cover but still reach 72 degrees for Crested Butte and 81 for Gunnison. Look for another moderate overnight low with temperatures holding to the low 50’s.

Outlook: While the ridge holds over Texas it will push moisture up into the west. Winds are set to remain light which means slower moving and wetting systems with flash flood warnings being issued around our area. Stay smart about your plans and be prepared.
