On the dry side of the northern flow.

TV10 Crested Butte and Gunnison Valley Daily Weather Update- For Today- 7/22: The southern plume is continuing to lift through AZ and Utah before wrapping around to our north with the brunt of the moisture staying clear of our area. A trough dropping out of the northwest will push it a little closer to us as the day progresses but the result will look a lot like yesterday. Expect plenty of sun early with isolated cells building after noon and moving through into this evening. The difference today is that we may thundershowers continuing into tonight. Enjoy the sun but be prepared.

Temperatures: Lows were warmer last night with CB at 46 and 52 for Gunni. Highs will climb quickly topping out at 86 for Gunni and 80 for CB. Lows tonight will be about the same but could stay warmer if the cloud cover lingers.

Outlook: Models have been consistently predicting the subtropical plume would move west back over our area and it looks like Monday will finally see more coverage. Expect partly cloudy conditions early with thicker clouds and thundershowers through the afternoon but the pool of moisture has been depleted through the weekend so it won’t be as wet as it could have been. Look for more of the same Tuesday with slightly drier conditions by Wednesday but afternoon thundershowers remain in the forecast.
