A subtropical surge.

TV10 Crested Butte and Gunnison Valley Daily Weather Update- For Today- 7/28:The ridge to our south has cycled east allowing the subtropical plume to lift more freely into our area. We will see cloud cover and spotty sunshine early but as temperatures warm look for strong convective cells building into the early afternoon. Expect the potential for slow moving systems capable of heavy rain and flash flood potential with rain likely to continue overnight.

Temperatures: Overnight lows were warmer with Crested Butte reporting 48 and 55 for Gunnison. Highs will stay on the cool side with the clouds holding to 70 for CB and 76 for Gunni. Lows tonight will stay warm with more clouds and rain possible.

Outlook: This surge will keep us wet through Tuesday with heavy rain and thundershowers through the evening. Wednesday we will start to dry but look for residual moisture keeping afternoon showers a threat through the end of the week.
