The past…

At Stevens Field the high yesterday was 55 and the low this morning was 24. The peak wind at the airfield in the last 24 hours was 9mph.

There was no precip in the last 24 hours.

Forecast discussion…

The pesky ridge will continue to give us pleasant fall weather through Wednesday.  Then another weak and getting weaker system will try to move through Colorado from the northwest.  We’ll see a few more clouds and cooler temps, but very little precip.

I keep looking at the models out to 15 days and don’t see anything to get excited about. Go away La Nina!

GeoColor satellite this morning: The ridge off the West Coast continues to keep most of the Southwest clear.  Upper level northwest flow over the top of the ridge is not our friend.

My forecast…

Today through Wednesday… Enjoy the sun! Highs will be in the mid-50s to low 60s and lows will be upper teens to lower 30s. The warm spots will flirt with the record highs of 65 tomorrow and then 66 on Monday. On Wednesday temps will be 5 degrees cooler. Winds will stay under 20mph.

Thursday through Saturday… There will be a few more clouds and a slight chance for a few snowflakes in the mountains.  Snow accumulations will stay under an inch.

Temps will be closer to our seasonal average with highs in the mid-40s to low 50s and lows in the mid-teens to mid-20s.

NBM precip to next Monday, 22 Nov, at 5pm has no precip in our area.

I’ve been a “weather geek” since I was young child. I joined the military out of high school and was lucky to get my dream job in weather. I have 20 years of military weather experience which includes forecasting the weather all over the world. Highlights were six years in Alaska and making life and death weather decisions during deployments. I love mountains, I love snow, and I love summertime thunderstorms. I spend a bunch of time playing outdoors and found my paradise in Pagosa Springs. I do Pagosa Weather as a community service. Hopefully you find us helpful!
