The long view

Montrose weather in September

The record

September is when the valley lets go of summer, a few degrees at a time. The forecast below comes from the National Weather Service grid over the town itself, so it reads 5,807 feet rather than the valley station.

The town sits in a broad valley between the Uncompahgre Plateau and the San Juans, so storms are usually something you watch build rather than sit under. Through 3 days of September, the warmest afternoon has been 85° and the coolest morning 54°.

When it rains in Montrose

So far this month 1 day has measured precipitation, 0.1 inches in total. 3 of the next seven days carry a chance of 30 percent or better.

Montrose readings come from the Montrose station in town. The forecast is the National Weather Service grid over Montrose itself, cell GJT 116,73. Air quality data by Open-Meteo.
