GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO)
Lots of unstable weather continues to travel down the pipeline from the West Coast. Moisture and humidity values are trending above normal. Grand Junction has reported 0.21 inches of precipitation as of 6 AM today. The total moisture is expected to increase as more storms hit the region later this afternoon and again on Friday.
At noon, more thunderstorms are expected to spawn. The first wave of the active weather will settle over the San Juan Mountains. Blowing down from the high country, the surrounding valleys will see passing storm activity. Most major locations are anticipating a 40% chance of rain today. Tomorrow, scattered storms have a 30% chance of probability, so we aren’t out of the woods just yet.
Acceleration in regards to wind gusts is anticipated later this afternoon. Wind gusts are expected to peak at 30 MPH and reduce visibility in areas of active rainfall. Moisture on the roads may add some time to typical travel today. Although, travel through the state this weekend will be great, as temperatures climb back into the 90s with ease by Sunday.
