10/3: A beautiful start but changing.

TV10 Crested Butte and Gunnison Valley Daily Weather Update-  For 10/3: This trough moving on shore to the west has drawn a surge of milder air in from the southwest and we are looking at another clear sunny start but with a looming transition into the afternoon. Look for some high clouds mixing in after noon with winds building. High gusts will keep the clouds moving and thundershowers into the evening will be possible.

Temperatures: Lows dropped to 28 for CB and 30 for Gunni. Highs will climb back to 73 for Gunni and 67 for CB. Lows tonight will hover around the freezing mark with this cold front.

Outlook: This cold front will move in from the west overnight and depending on timing we could see snow up high into the morning. The meat of this low will move through over the course of the day with gusting winds keeping it moving quickly. Temperatures will be 10-15 degrees colder than Friday’s highs and the snow line will be between 9-10k ft with slick travel likely on the higher passes. Skies will clear into Sunday morning and we will see the coldest low of the season at or below 20 degrees. These will be dangerous conditions so if you are headed to the backcountry plan accordingly.
