The past…

At Stevens Field the high temp this afternoon was 48. The low this morning was 22. I saw a few spots in the mid-50s this afternoon. The peak wind at the airfield this afternoon was 9mph.

Precip summary… A few snowflakes fell in the mountains.

Forecast discussion…

Tomorrow will stay nice as transient ridging moves through.

Late Wednesday afternoon to Thursday afternoon the next system will move through Colorado. Upper level flow will be west to northwest which doesn’t favor us. Unfortunately the best moisture and storm energy will stay to our north.

Friday and Saturday clouds will try to clear and we’ll be dry as ridging builds back over the region.

Satellite this evening: Dry northwest flow gave us beautiful weather today. The ridge axis will move overhead tomorrow, and the flow will turn more westerly and push a few mid and upper level clouds into our area.

My forecast…

Wednesday – Spotty showers will start late afternoon with rain up to 8,000ft.
Wednesday after midnight – The snow level will drop to 6,500ft.
Thursday – Scattered snowshowers are possible all day but temps will be above freezing, so snow will have trouble sticking — ***Wednesday – Spotty showers will start late afternoon with rain up to 8,000ft.***

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!
