3/17: The last of the winds.

TV10 Crested Butte and Gunnison Valley Daily Weather Update-  For 3/17: Dry air continues to move deeper into the west edging this northwestern flow clear of the area. One final day with the jet dropping over CO will fuel another round of high gusting winds into the afternoon with a few very isolated clouds but sunny skies dominating.

Temperatures: Lows bottomed out at 21 valley wide. Highs will start climbing reaching 47 for CB and 54 for Gunni. Lows tonight will look similar.

Outlook: Satellite imagery shows this big high slowly moving through the west quickly pushing any moisture clear of the area while recycling southwestern heat. As this edges into CO early Wednesday we will see winds rapidly decrease and temperatures on a steady climb through Saturday under clear skies. This pattern looks a lot like the hotter periods of last summer and models have Gunni climbing the 70s and the mid 60s for CB to close the week.
