Clouds Over Four Mile Recreation Area in Buena Vista, CO

Clouds and Weather in our Valley

Monday, February 8, 2010 at 7pm

Location: Salida Community Center

Presenter: Dr. Stanley L. Barnes

Dr. Barnes will discuss what it takes for clouds in the Upper Arkansas Valley to form, delve into the role of water vapor and its source, and consider why some clouds move with the winds and others do not. Learn about why some clouds do nothing but come and go, while others produce weather events and precipitation. Larger scale atmospheric systems that produce our storms here in the Valley will be discussed as well as how we should interpret forecasts by the National Weather Service. Free to GARNA members and paid Sense of Place Season 2 participants, $5 for non-members.  For more information call 719-539-5106 or email info@garna.org
