Good morning, Grand Junction! If you’ve been itching for a real taste of spring, Tuesday is delivering in full force—we’re talking sunny skies and highs near 76°F, the kind of day that practically begs for a long lunch break outdoors or a stroll through the park.
But before you dust off your sandals and plan a picnic… let’s talk about the wind.
Start Your Day Chilly, but Beautiful
Tuesday kicks off on a cool note. Expect early morning temperatures in the upper 40s, so if you’re heading out before 9 a.m., you’ll want a light jacket or cozy hoodie. The skies will already be clear, and that sunshine? It’s working overtime to warm things up quickly.
Afternoon Warmth—with a Breezy Twist
By midday, you’ll be feeling that glorious spring warmth—we’re talking mid-to-upper 70s, perfect for just about anything outside. Want to walk the dog, run errands, or sneak in a round of golf? Go for it.
But here’s the deal: the wind is going to show up.
Afternoon gusts could kick up to 20–30 mph, especially in open areas. It won’t be a dangerous wind, but it’ll be enough to knock over patio chairs or send your hat tumbling down the street. If you’ve got lightweight lawn décor or trash bins out, you might want to secure them.
Also—allergy sufferers, brace yourselves. With the wind stirring things up, pollen and dust could get a little rowdy.
Evening Vibes: Mild and Comfortable
As the sun dips low, the wind should start calming down. Temperatures will slide into the upper 40s by bedtime—just cool enough for a hoodie if you’re out for a late walk or catching the stars.
Quick Tips Before You Head Out:
-
Dress in layers to roll with the changing temps.
-
Secure anything light or loose in your yard.
-
Grab sunglasses—it’s going to be bright all day.
-
If allergies are an issue, keep meds handy and maybe limit outdoor time in the afternoon wind.
All in all, Tuesday is shaping up to be a bright, beautiful day with just a touch of mischief from the wind. Enjoy it, Grand Junction—you’ve earned it after a rollercoaster start to spring!
