It still looks like the best chance for meaningful precipitation is on the way. I know there is no shortage of events going on tonight through Sunday, but we are hearty people here in SW Colorado and can handle it!
For today, the models show that daytime heating may combine with the approaching trough of low pressure and its associated cold front, resulting in showers developing. They will be hit-and-miss in the lower elevations and should dissipate this evening.
Tomorrow will be slightly cooler and should give way to isolated showers again in the afternoon, however, rather than dissipate in the evening, heavy showers may develop between 6 and 9 pm. I will update the timing tomorrow morning, but at the moment, that is my best guess.
Overnight showers should continue Friday night into Saturday. Heavy snow will fall above 9,000 feet. Showers will be possible at least until mid to late afternoon on Saturday it will be cold and wet, plan accordingly.
As you may know, I was at one time close with the organizers of Durango Wine Experience and I have attended the events for many years. I won’t be able to attend this year, but they do a great job with Saturday’s Grand Tasting, you should stay plenty dry while in the main tasting tents. I have been there over the years in all kinds of weather, don’t let the weather change your plans!
Tomorrow morning I will update you on rain and snow amounts.
