Pleasant weather for the workweek
Sunday, June 22, 2025
After a cool front passed through Steamboat Springs this Sunday morning, temperatures are in the comfortable low-seventies under mostly sunny skies this mid-afternoon. A chilly night will be followed by rising high temperatures that will reach the low-eighties on Tuesday, along with some increasing moisture that will persist on Wednesday for only a slight chance of a shower and several degrees of cooling. Mostly sunny skies return starting Thursday, with the low-eighty-degree temperatures increasing to the upper eighties and persisting through the weekend.
A stout ridge of high pressure over the Southeast is deflecting energy moving through a splitting trough of low pressure extending from the Canadian Plains southwestward through the Great Basin and California. The dry cool front this morning was associated with the southern end of the storm that brought snow to the higher elevations of Idaho, northern Wyoming and Montana. Clear skies will allow temperatures to fall into the thirties tonight, below our average of 41 F, before high temperatures reach our 79 F average on Monday.
Several degrees of warming are expected on Tuesday, along with some afternoon clouds, as limited moisture rotating around the Southeast high pressure is drawn northward ahead of what is left of the southern end of the eastward-moving low pressure system forecast to be over Nevada.
These remnants are forecast to move overhead on Wednesday, bringing more clouds and only a slight chance of an afternoon or evening thunderstorm that would bring more wind than rain due to most precipitation evaporating in the dry lower atmosphere.
The ridge of high pressure over the Southeast is then forecast to extend westward starting Thursday, eventually reaching the Desert Southwest by the weekend. High temperatures are forecast to rise back into the low-eighties on Thursday and upper-eighties for Friday and the weekend under mostly sunny skies.
Enjoy the cooler temperatures for the rest of today, and the pleasant weather for the workweek, and I’ll have more details on the weekend weather in my next regularly scheduled weather narrative on Thursday afternoon.
