5/19: Big changes on the way.

TV10 Crested Butte and Gunnison Valley Daily Weather Update- Today- 5/19: Our active pattern in the west is starting to wind up with high clouds early today set to thicken into tonight as moisture drops in from WY. We won’t see any until tomorrow but winds build through today with high gusts to 40+ through the afternoon and a mild surge of warm air from the southwest. Winds continue into tonight as the cold front moves in.

Temperatures: Lows dropped to 27 for Crested Butte and 33 for Gunni. Highs will pop to 75 for Gunni and 69 for CB. Lows tonight will stay warm with the winds at 38 for CB and 45 for Gunni.

Outlook: This strong storm and cold front will be dropping into CO through early Friday serving up some moisture but stopping at our front door. Expect high winds as the jet stream sets up just to the north but the brunt of the moisture forms an upslope pattern that will drop up to a foot on the mountains along 70 but should be limited to a few inches for us. Expect snow to reach the valley floors Friday and Saturday morning but with a rain snow mix through the days. Temperatures moderate but the jet continues to cycle through with scattered moisture and gusting winds a factor through Monday.
