Summer time day here in the high country. 67F the high today. We started out at 45F this morning. Sunny day til the afternoon hours where it’s mostly cloudy. Possible pop up storm tonight. We are starting to leaf out up here at 4500’ which is 2 weeks early. 



                               Friday-Sunday 


Friday: High temperature upper 50’s to low 60’s. Low temperature in mid 40’s. Thunderstorms and rain likely. 

Saturday: High temperature in low 50’s. Low temperature in low 40’s. Possible rain shower.

Sunday: High mid 50’s. Low temperature upper 30’s. 50/50 clouds and sun. Should be dry but can’t rule a shower or two out. 


Friday storms May pack a punch. Hail and lightning main threats. Maybe some gusty winds. Late weekend cooldown will be welcomed sight after some summer temperatures. But we warm back up next week. Looking further out the 19-20th looks to give us a decent cool shot. Will that drop us on low 30’s time will tell. But something to watch. Also tropics looks to be heating up early. As of now end next week a tropical system could form. But probably more of a hybrid like a broad low! Nothing extreme. Be careful with click bait type stories some put out cause this will not become a monster storm. Water temperatures are in low 70’s at best in most locations that this system could form. But look at it as a beneficial chance at some rain to help drought areas. Appreciate everyone support. Have a great rest of your Thursday.
