Precipitation summary… There was no measurable precip in the last 24 hours.
Current satellite and radar…
There is nothing on radar in our area Thursday afternoon.
Forecast highlights…
*** We’ll have lots of blue sky and will be dry for another week. ***
*** The storm around 23 and 24 Jan looks weaker and weaker. ***
Forecast details…
Rest of Thursday through next Thursday afternoon… The ridge will be in control and continue to give us unseasonably warm and dry weather.
Temps…
Thursday night lows will be in the high teens to high 20s.
Friday highs will be in the mid-40s to the low 50s and lows will be in the mid-teens to mid-20s.
Saturday highs will be in the low to high 40s and lows will be in the low teens to low 20s.
Sunday through next Thursday highs will be in the mid-40s to low 50s and lows will be in the high teens to high 20s.
Winds…
Friday and Saturday, afternoon gusts will be around 15mph near Pagosa and 30-35mph in the high country.
Monday through next Thursday, each afternoon peak winds will be 5-10mph in the Pagosa area and 15-20mph in the high country.
22 Jan to 30 Jan… The ridge will weaken just enough to allow a weak storm to move through 23 and 24 Jan and then the ridge wants to build right back up – ugh.
On 23 and 24 Jan it looks like the mountains will get 2-4” of snow and the Pagosa area could get around 1”.
Snow amounts are trending down.
The next post will be on Saturday.
