What was suspiciously looking like a huge runoff in the making is becoming more of a certainty. We continue to grow the snowpack water content on Cameron Pass to historic highs, and we’re looking at yet another big weather week starting Wednesday. Things should stay cool… pushing the runoff closer and closer to the summer heat and the potential for a super high peak. Better go rinse off those dancing shoes…

Currently 47.0F, cloudy and calm. The mist is rising. Wx for Poudre Park:
Today: A 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after 1pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 66. Light wind becoming southeast between 12 and 15 mph. Winds could gust as high as 24 mph.
OK, false alarm on the “game on” post last week. But damn that looked real! Fortunately this stalled-out storm has also come with cold Wx in the high country. Otherwise I wouldn’t be writing this post, I’d be filling sand bags.
Currently 36.7F, misty, drizzly and cold. Forecast for lower canyon:
Today: Areas of drizzle, then a slight chance of rain after noon. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 55. South southeast wind between 6 and 13 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%.
Possibly a bit generous, but I’ll call it 1.4 on a nice cool, grey afternoon.
Slight dip, thanks to cooler temps and snow in the high country. Currently 39.6F, patchy fog and calm.
Wx for Gateway Park: Today: Sunny, with a high near 65. North northwest wind between 5 and 9 mph.
