TV10 Crested Butte and Gunnison Valley Daily Weather Update: 5/17/12 For Today: Yesterday’s storms moved into the area slower than expected and as a result residual moisture is offering up some cloud cover early. Look for this to clear but the resulting warm sunny conditions will fuel another round of convective afternoon thundershowers building with the heat of the day. Have a layer handy but it will be a great day to get outside.

Temperatures: Overnight lows stayed warm with the cloud cover with Crested Butte reporting 34 degrees and 38 for Gunnison. Highs will rebound under the sunny skies through noon hitting 66 for CB and 74 for Gunny. Lows will stay on the warm side in the high 30’s tonight with cloud cover expected.

Outlook: Another weak system passing through on Friday will offer cloud cover and high gusting winds. By Saturday skies will clear but expect temperatures 10 degrees cooler than we have been seeing. Sunday will bring back the high pressure which will hold into next week.
