7/20: More afternoon build up.

TV10 Crested Butte and Gunnison Valley Daily Weather Update-  For 7/20:  High pressure remains stuck and the east to west flow will hold for another day offering a sunny start with afternoon build up. The convective nature of the afternoon storms keeps them hit or miss with the higher terrain favored earlier before spreading into the lower valleys. Take advantage of calmer conditions early and be prepared this afternoon.

Temperatures: Lows were mild at 51 for Gunni and 45 for CB. Highs have swerved back into the heat with Gunni likely reaching 90 and 83 for CB. Lows tonight will be similar.

Outlook: Tuesday will offer another day of the same but then we start to see the center of this high drop to the southeast which will pivot the flow and allow for more moisture through Thursday. The more southern tilt will mean an increase in available moisture with more consistent rains but also the classic convective components with gusting winds, small hail and lightning all possible. The high wobbles back into the area to close the week but hopefully it’s a good shot of moisture in between. Keep the layers handy and get early starts.
