Forecast details…
Tuesday… We’ll see a few more clouds as a cut-off low moves through southern NM. There might be a spotty snowshower along The Divide. A few lucky spots in the south San Juans could get a dusting.
Wednesday and through next Monday… The big evil ridge will build over the southwest US coast. The storm track will be well to our north. We’ll have lots of sun and temps will be 10-15 degrees above average.
Temps…
Tuesday and Wednesday highs will be in the mid 50s to the mid 60s and lows will be near 20 to the high 20s.
Thursday through next Monday will be near 60 to the high 60s and lows will be in the low 20s to the low 30s.
Winds…
Tuesday through Friday, each afternoon gusts will be 15-20mph in the Pagosa Springs area and 25-35mph in the high country.
Saturday and Sunday, each afternoon gusts will be around 25mph in the Pagosa Springs area and 35-45mph in the high country.
Next Monday, afternoon gusts will be 15-20mph in the Pagosa Springs area and 30-35mph in the high country.
16 Mar to 24 Mar… The ridge will get stronger and move towards the Four Corners by 19-20 Mar. Then the ridge will flatten and might allow a little bit of moisture to move through, but I’m not optimistic. I think most of this period will be warm and dry.
The next post will be on Wednesday.
