8/9: Moisture moving in.

TV10 Crested Butte and Gunnison Valley Daily Weather Update-  For 8/9:  The flow has turned to the west and we are continuing to see the slow increase in available moisture starting to prime the atmosphere for some convective action. Yesterday was just cloud cover with the heat of the day but models have added chance afternoon thundershowers for today. These will be mostly virga producing dry cells with gusting local winds but a few drops could fall especially up high.

Temperatures: Lows dropped to 38 for CB and 43 for Gunni. Highs will cool back to 81 for CB and 87 for Gunni. Lows tonight will gain another degree.

Outlook: The western weather pattern is headed for a shift as this high is pushes to the south and east by a trough out of the northwest. This will open the door for a resurgence of the southern plume of moisture fueling just isolated thundershowers through Tuesday before a more direct feed fueling wetter conditions for Wednesday through Friday. There are multiple interacting components for this that may change details but the general pattern shift will bring back some wetter conditions for the week.
