The long view

Crested Butte weather in September

The record

At 8,909 feet, September can hand Crested Butte a summer afternoon and a hard freeze in the same week. The forecast below comes from the National Weather Service grid over the town itself, so it reads 8,909 feet rather than the valley station.

This is deep snow country with a short, bright summer, and the wildflowers time themselves to when the snow finally leaves. Through 3 days of September, the warmest afternoon has been 72° and the coolest morning 41°.

When it rains in Crested Butte

No day this month has measured precipitation yet. 4 of the next seven days carry a chance of 30 percent or better.

Crested Butte readings come from the Gunnison station 23 miles south of town. The forecast is the National Weather Service grid over Crested Butte itself, cell GJT 149,88. Air quality data by Open-Meteo.
