Weather Synopsis
After a disappointing showing from the last storm we should at least have beautiful weather over the weekend.
Lingering clouds with mild temperatures are expected for the next few days. A high pressure ridge to our northwest is blocking any significant moisture from hitting our mountains. We may see above normal highs and lows dipping into the single digits. We may be in for another long dry spell.
Today
Partly cloudy, light south winds 5-15 mph and highs around 30.
Tonight
Mostly clear, light southwest winds, lows around zero.
Tomorrow
Partly cloudy light south winds and highs around 30.

Crested Butte Local Forecast    [ CBTV-10 ]
 08:15 MT Saturday Feb 04, 2012
Weather Synopsis

TV10 Crested Butte and Gunnison Valley Daily Weather Update: 2/4/12 For Today: A dirty western flow in the wake of this last pacific system will offer up some clouds and even an isolated snow shower along the divide. Mostly sunny conditions will dominate for most of the day but it will be worth packing layers as you head out to account for changes.

Temperatures: Overnight lows dropped to -3 for Crested Butte and -2 for Gunnison under the clearer skies. Highs will rebound under sunny skies but will hold to 31 for Gunny with the inversion reforming and 32 for CB. Lows tonight will be cold dropping to -5 or below for all elevations.

Outlook: The next pacific system is brewing in the west but models are predicting a split that will take us out of the sweet spot. Expect a couple days of snow showers as the week progresses but a healthy dose of sunshine as well.
