A HUGE thanks to Hillary Fredrickson for joining the CoCoRaHS team! Your data helps fill one of Archuleta County’s biggest data gaps. The next big data gap we’d like filled is ARBOLES.

Forecast discussion…
Today a trough moving northeast through UT will push the moisture plume to our east and kick up the winds a bit. Starting Tuesday the high will rebound quickly and continue to push sub-tropical moisture into our area for the foreseeable future!

My forecast…

With showers and thunderstorms expect brief periods of heavy rain, small hail, gusty winds, and lightning.
