Description

We hope you can join us for a presentation about Meteorology and Weather Events of the Grand Valley by Michael Charnick, Meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Grand Junction, CO. The Grand Valley of western Colorado offers some very unique weather forecasting challenges. From active winter weather, downslope and upslope wind flow, drought, monsoon thunderstorms and strong inversions, the challenges of forecasting weather in the Grand Valley are certainly more than what meets the eye. In this one-hour talk, learn from a National Weather Service forecaster about the meteorology of the valley and the weather events that characterize the semi-arid climate of the western slope.

Seating is limited in the Saddlehorn Visitor Center Auditorium, so registration is required by calling 970-858-3617 ext. 360. Free event, regular entrance fees apply.
