9/19: Bonus rain early but clearing.

TV10 Crested Butte and Gunnison Valley Daily Weather Update-  For 9/19: Remnant moisture and leftovers from nocturnal convection have fueled showers early with regional radar showing the end rapidly approaching. Look for a solid window of mostly sunny skies through the middle of the day but precipitable water levels hover at 150% of normal offering plenty of fuel for afternoon thundershowers. These will be hit or miss but worth preparing for.

Temperatures: Lows dropped even with the rain early to 39 for CB and 45 for Gunni. Highs will bounce back to 71 for Gunni and 63 for CB. Lows tonight will drop again by another 5+ degrees.

Outlook: We are headed into a dry gap in the west with a zonal west to east flow dominating through Monday. This will be short lived with the TX high sending a fresh surge in from the southwest by later Tuesday. The extent of the moisture will be a work in progress but the initial primer comes from the pacific with a follow up from the gulf. It doesn’t look as wet as we’ve seen but it will be more moisture and the cooler temperatures could also bring us our first flakes up high.
