0305L-THURSDAY OUTLOOK FROM GARFIELD COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT-11/30/23 *Rain is possible in our area as a trough moves through during the day. There could be a dusting of snow overnight if we can get cold enough and precip remains over the area. Timing is the question on that right now.

TUESDAY NOVEMBER 28, 2023
0330L-TUESDAY OUTLOOK FROM GARFIELD COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT-11/28/23 *No major impacts to the area until “possibly” late Wednesday evening into Thursday when a shortwave trough moves through the area.

TUESDAY NOVEMBER 21, 2023
0315L-TUESDAY OUTLOOK FROM GARFIELD COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT-11/21/23 *It’s going to get cooler then colder as we move through the week.
