TBF 2012 Weather Prediction

[Cindy Lou]

I'm predicting it will be sunny and warm with a chance of clouds, rain, wind, snow, hail, thunder, low temperatures, sleet, flash floods, lightning, sand storms, tornadoes, fog, and happiness.

If there's a tornado in that box canyon we're all goners.  And there will be fog, lots of it, especially Wednesday morning after Tropical Tuesday, and Thursday after Rumballs. Foggy heads are quite common the whole week.

Each year I offer up what has in the past been a somewhat accurate prediction of the weather
for the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. This is not a forecast as it's too hard to determine that far
in advance what the weather will be, so it is only a prediction. 


TBF 2012 Weather Prediction

For the week before the festival (June 9 - June 16)
Cool and cloudy - Chance of rain 60-80%
Winds 15-20 mph with gusts to 45 mph
High temperatures in the 50's and 60's Farenheit
Low temperatures in the 30's and 40's Farenheit

For the week of the festival (June 17 - June 24)
Warmer with fewer clouds - Chance of rain 10-30%
Winds 2-10 mph occasional gusts of 20 mph
High temperatures in the upper 60's to low 80's Farenheit
Low temperatures in the low 40's to mid 50's Farenheit


Although there was approximately 3 inches of snow last year on Sunday night/Monday morning it
was technically after the festival and not included in last years prediction. That's my disclaimer,
and I'm sticking to it. 

I hope Tom's Forecast is closer than Acccuweather. If not get ready for some water!

Why even try a prediction? It'll different than that anyway.
