5/18: Colder with a rain snow mix.

TV10 Crested Butte and Gunnison Valley Daily Weather Update-  For 5/18:  We have sat on the eastern edge of this moisture lifting through from the southwest since last night and are just seeing it bleeding a little closer to the area. This will fuel snow showers through the morning with high gusting winds and milder lows won’t see much improvement through the day. Look for a rain snow mix after noon with snow continuing above 9500ft and possibly offering complicated travel into this evening even as skies clear.

Temperatures: Lows stayed mild at 38 for CB and 47 for Gunni. Highs will hold to 43 for CB and 52 for Gunni. Lows tonight will drop to the low 20s with clearer skies.

Outlook: We are into a mostly clear gap between these western troughs on Tuesday with sunny but cooler conditions holding into Wednesday. The next trough will be holding further north but will offer enough moisture for scattered thundershowers Wednesday and Thursday afternoons with remnants possibly hanging on into Friday. These will be limited in scope but could shift in either direction as the pattern develops.
