Crested Butte Weather and Gunnison Valley Daily Weather Update-For Today- 8/14: We are seeing some moisture in the form of remnants from the last tropical depression in the pacific moving in on the western flow but it’s meeting the super dry air holding under the northern ridge. The combination will fuel some convective build up for this afternoon but actual rain hitting the ground will be scattered and limited. Expect gusting winds with dry cells moving through quickly.
Temperatures: Overnight lows dropped to 32 for Crested Butte and 39 for Gunnison. Highs will reach 85 for Gunni and 78 for CB by the afternoon. Lows tonight will look similar.
Outlook: This high pressure to the north will act as a backstop to the moisture lifting in from the southwest and turn our flow slightly to northwest. This isn’t a huge change but may be enough to allow the smoke into the valley. Look for daily afternoon build up but storms remain mostly dry. Hot and dry will be the trend into next week with little relief in sight so keep the sunscreen handy and plan timing accordingly.
