Memphis Weather Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 BOU says the tornado went directly over the ASOS, 84kt peak gust before it went out. Lifted several minutes ago and warning is now cancelled. Stayed between the concourses/runways so no damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stayed between the concourses/runways so no damage. Looking at the ASOS site and the TDWR, it looks as if the ASOS site was within a few hundred feet of the tornado. weather.gladstonefamily.net/site/KDEN?lang=en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 I just turned on the news, and there is a new fire, the "Lime Gulch Fire" smoke/pyrocumulus plume is spreading 150 miles from the "West Fork Complex Fire" (Mineral County) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsman Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I just turned on the news, and there is a new fire, the "Lime Gulch Fire" smoke/pyrocumulus plume is spreading 150 miles from the "West Fork Complex Fire" (Mineral County) ? Here's some Sat pics. Smoke has filled in in Colorado Springs in the last hour. Smell is getting worse, hope I can keep the windows open tonight. Edit: the smoke in COS is supposedly from the fire in Walsenburg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 I can see the 594 contour on the Euro 00z, for days 6-10. We don't need 600 dekameters. I think that would mean about 600 forest fires. Denver could get near its all time high temperature, (again,) given the general drought conditions of the southwest states. June 26-30 records at Denver: 26. 10527. 102 28. 99 29. 102 30. 102 I think some storms will pop around Cheyenne, given very high moisture convergence, CAPE, and shear. I have rarely seen a 5000 CAPE with a north wind at relatively high elevations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayjawintastawm Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Hot... looking like this June will be right around +5F DFN at DEN. Should make it into the top 10 warmest Junes, outside shot at top 5. Last year was the warmest by 1.5 F which is enormous. Last weekend was glorious and we got a little rain too! DEN got more rain than most of the area, and farther south is still drier. Good bunch of watering "cheaters" in our neighborhood ignoring the restrictions. Grr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 I thought that the differences were normal were only at a +2 degrees. Fort Collins has not been at a +5. It has been 80-85 many days. I don't know the exact value to date. http://www.hprcc.unl.edu/maps/current/ The Front Range corridor is back in a drought (D1). Watering restrictions only existed for a short time in Fort Collins (I think), We had the snow, then think they took away the restrictions that they put in effect before it snowed. They may have to bring back the restrictions. Fort Collins has had very little rain. Month to date precip: very low for Larimer and Boulder Counties. The western half of Colorado has seen around zero precipitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The western half of Colorado has seen around zero precipitation. OK, back to the calculator. Well, right now DEN is at +4.0 through today assuming it does not get hotter. Today will probably wind up at +8. To get to +5 for the month we'd have to average +11 the next 4 days, so that is a stretch, but +4.5 on the month is a good bet (would have to average +7.5 the next 4 days).. That would bring us up to roughly 7th alltime. Denver Water has had restrictions since 4/1 and they'll doubtless continue given this month.

beavis1729 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Las Vegas has a shot at their all-time high of 117, set on 7/19/2005 and 7/24/1942. Even more impressive is that Las Vegas may be close to setting daily record highs on 5 consecutive days: 06/28: 115 (1994) 06/29: 115 (1994) 06/30: 115 (1994) 07/01: 116 (1972) 07/02: 115 (1950) They will most likely set record high mins on all 5 days...but I don't consider that as important due to increasing UHI at McCarran over time.

Chinook Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 It is 94.3 degrees before noon with a north-northeast breeze. Apparently a cold front came through and heated us up. The surface analysis shows a cold front near Denver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardWx Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 So far today SLC is at 99, 98 here in Provo.

Chinook Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 Tuesday: 94.9 at Fort Collins. Yesterday(Wednesday) it was 96.1 at the Fort Collins weather station. Highs of 98-99 degrees happened at several locations (Wunderground.com) between here and Denver, and also it was 99 at Fort Collins Loveland Airport. 37 Celsius/ 4 Celsius dew point KFNL 272315Z AUTO 07007KT 10SM CLR 37/04 A3016 RMK AO1 Today it is moistening up, with dew points in the low 50's.
