Mild yet again with another day of near record highs below 10,000 feet of 40° to 47° and cooler highs above 10,000 feet of 27° to 36°... Variable wind 5 to 15 mph becoming south southwest by late morning.... except breezy in the mountains with wind at 20 to 30 mph. Tonight  Mostly clear... More unseasonably mild low temps once again below 10,000 feet of 28° to 31°... and also mild lows above 10,000 feet of 20° to 28°... South wind 5 to 15 mph becoming variable in the valley and foothills... and a breezy southwest wind 10 to 15 mph in the mountains... but windy above 12,500 feet... Forecast for Xmas Eve: Partly to mostly cloudy with a chance for snow showers at nite in the mountains... For Xmas Day:... A chance for snow in the mountains; a chance for rain, or snow, or a mix in the foothills with high temps in the low 40s, but falling with precip; 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 (our area has only seen rain in December twice ever, and both times it occurred in the first week of the month. If anything, and as most of you know, we usually see a white Xmas in most years... but, the way things been going for the last 2 weeks, even our present snowpack will be mainly gone before Xmas day gets here - since the warm temps we been seeing are melting the snowpack fast enough, 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 4 days, but if less than half the ground has snow cover, officially that gets recorded as a trace of snow only, and no white Xmas.   Chances for Measurable Snow (thru Xmas Day) Foothills: 30% for Xmas Day (w/ rain)... Valley: Less than 5% since rain will fall on Xmas Day... Mountains: 20% Xmas Eve and 40% for Xmas Day.
