Some wind but kicking off a string of beautiful days.

TV10 Crested Butte and Gunnison Valley Daily Weather Update: 5/22/13 For Today: We are seeing some lingering clouds on the higher terrain from nocturnal storms from the west but these will clear offering sunny skies valley wide. The southwestern flow and significantly warmer air will activate any left over moisture this afternoon and convective thundershowers will be a possibility for the highest terrain. These will be very scattered and will move quickly with high gusting winds but will be worth preparing for just incase.

Temperatures: Overnight lows dropped to 27 for Crested Butte and 30 for Gunnison. Highs will rebound early climbing to 62 for CB and 72 for Gunny. Look for lows in the mid 30’s tonight as warmer air settles in.

Outlook: A ridge setting up across the west will have our area between a low pressure trough to the north and high pressure lifting in from the south. Clear skies and warming temperatures will dominate into the weekend but expect high winds until the ridge settles in on Friday.
