This morning the cold spots dipped into the high single digits.
| Average High | Record High / Year | Average Low | Record Low / Year |
| 39 | 56 / 1941 | 3 | -23 / 1908 |
Precipitation summary… There was no measurable precip in the last 48 hours.
Forecast discussion…
There is nothing on radar in our area.
Forecast highlights…
*** Dry with above average temps through Tuesday. ***
*** A little snow on Christmas Day ***
*** Another system or two is possible before the year ends. ***
Friday night through Tuesday… Ridging will hold on through Sunday and give us lots of sun with occasional patches of high clouds.
Monday a weak trough will skirt through northern Colorado and bring us more clouds and maybe a snowflake or two over our mountains.
Tuesday a transient ridge will give us mostly sunny skies during the day and then increasing clouds through the evening when the ridge moves to our east.
Winds… Afternoon peaks will be around 10mph.
Temps… Saturday highs will be near 50 to the high 50s and lows will be in the mid-teens to mid-20s. Sunday highs will be in the high 40s to mid-50s and lows will be in the mid-teens to mid-20s. Monday and Tuesday highs will be in the mid-40s to low 50s and lows will be in the mid-teens to low 20s.
Christmas Day… Santa will bring us a low-pressure system and some snow.
Timing…The first few scattered snowshowers will start over the mountains early Christmas morning and over the valley after sunrise. The best chance for snow is late morning to around sunset. Scattered snowshowers will taper off over the mountains by midnight.
Snow levels will be 7,000ft or lower.
Snow amounts…
Wolf Creek area: 1-3”
Pagosa area: up to a half inch
Winds… Afternoon gusts will be 15-20mph.
Temps… Highs will be in the high 30s to mid-40s and lows will be in the mid-teens to low 20s.
More good news… It looks like the weather pattern could stay active through the last week of the year.
My next post will be on Sunday.
