The normal high temperature today around the Crestone/Baca area is 32°, record high is 51°, the normal low is 8°, record low is -12°.   Click here for the latest Colorado Forecast Maps, and more.   Today Partly sunny... Mild to warm again with near record highs below 10,000 feet of 42° to 51° and cooler highs above 10,000 feet of 24° to 36°... North northeast wind 5 to 10 mph becoming southeast by late morning.... except a breezy west wind in the mountains at 10 to 25 mph. Tonight  Partly cloudy with blowing snow above 12,000 feet... Mild low temps again below 10,000 feet of 25° to 28°... and mild lows also above 10,000 feet of 16° to 25°... North northeast wind 5 to 10 mph becoming southeast after midnight in the valley and foothills... and a west wind in the mountains and breezy above 12,000 feet... Long Range Forecast for Xmas Eve: A chance for snow showers at nite in the mountains and with partly cloudy skies in the foothills and out in the valley... Then for Xmas Day:... A chance for snow in the mountains, chance for rain, or snow, or a mix in the foothills with temps in the mid 40s; and a chance for all rain in the valley... Do note, if it does rain, it would be a first for our area for this holiday, as rain has never been recorded before in the Crestone/Baca on Xmas Day, at least not  since weather records have been kept... If anything, and as most of us know, we usually see a white Xmas in most years here... yet the way things are going now, even our snowpack will be gone before Xmas day gets here - even if it doesn't rain, since the warm temps we been seeing are melting the snow fast enough and officially, according to the NWS, one inch of snow must be on the ground for an official white Xmas to happen. We should still have some snow on the ground in the next 5 days, but if less than half the ground has snow cover, officially that gets recorded as a trace of snow only.   Chances for Measurable Snow (thru Xmas Day) Foothills: 30% for Xmas Day... Valley: Less than 10%... Mountains: 30% Xmas Eve and 40% for Xmas Day.
