An evening shower over our mountains last night. – Pic taken 6/25/2021 around 7:45pm

Overall situation…
At Stevens Field the high yesterday was 75 and the low this morning was 42. Yesterday’s peak wind was 45mph. Some lucky folks got around 0.10” of precip yesterday.


*** There is not a Red Flag Warning out for Archuleta County. Even if a Red Flag Warning is not issued, consider the fire danger extremely high. ***


Moisture is in place and we’ll stay unstable for the at least the next 7-10 days. The current pattern with the giant high pressure centered over British Columbia could transition into a monsoon pattern for us – good news!
I’m concerned the first few thunderstorms will spark new fires, so keep an eye out for smoke. With some luck enough rain might fall to decrease fire danger – yay!
My forecast…
Today through Friday… Clouds will build each day as we warm up. The best chance for showers and thunderstorms will be 2 to 6pm, however they are possible anytime, especially over the mountains. Brief periods of heavy rain, small hail, gusty winds, lightning are likely.
Highs will be 70-80 and lows will be upper 30s to upper 40s.
Afternoon winds will peak in the 20-25mph range, though isolated convective gusts to 45mph are possible near showers and thunderstorms.
