CarlislePaWx Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 My wife's brother happens to live in the foothills west of Denver in Golden, close to 6000 feet. I'll be able to find out how much snow he gets when I talk to him early Wednesday. I've been pouring over the news articles that the NWS (Denver) has on their site right now. It's fascinating to see the records list for the greatest 1-, 2-, and 3-day temperature changes on record for Denver since the start of records in 1872. Since the records run from midnight to midnight they won't be able to make it into the 1-day. They'll come up a few degrees short on the 2-day since the current forecast change looks like about 62 degrees if they hit 94 tomorrow and drop to 32 on Tuesday morning (or before midnight Tuesday evening). I was reading that Denver's high temp yesterday of 101 degrees was the latest 100+ degree reading on record. Near-record cold is forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday with temps around freezing both days. What I can't get over is how many extreme records have been broken around the country this year. I wonder if September 8th could be the earliest recorded snowfall for Denver? Since I didn't see them mention that I guess they've had snowfall earlier. Accumulating snow in summer. Wow!

According to the Googles it snowed on September 3rd, 1961 for the earliest snow in Denver history. I think pretty much all the NWS and recording keeping folks use the end of August for the end of Summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the point of my discussion a few weeks ago concerning LR and MR threads. Climate models, and LR sensible weather models are so often wrong to the point of using them for anything serious makes a forecast more inaccurate. One could probably do better using the George Costanza method and picking the opposite of what they say. It almost seems like flipping a coin has better odds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 It'd be nice if some of that thunderstorm activity found it's way down here later on. But in the meantime the cloudcover all day from it has pretty much shut down what was looking like yet another high 80s day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I'm not sure what would be crazier on it's own there, the late 100+ heat or seeing the snow. Obviously the combination of the two things within a day is insane and historic, especially in terms of temp differentials and departures. But honestly the heat wave part of this is likely the more extreme thing. It's relatively normal for the Rockies to start seeing higher elevation snows in September and Denver in fact averages 1.3" in September. It would appear that the only snow record Denver would break looking at what's being forecast there is possibly the heaviest first snowfall of the season. The earliest is 4.2" Sept 3, 1961. Quote The month averages about 1.3″ inches with snow occurring once about every 5 years. There have been some very large snow storms in September but they have all occurred much later than September 8. In September 1971 there was 17.2 inches of snow in Denver, in 1936 there was 16.5 inches and in 1959 the city measured 12.9 inches of snow in September. https://denver.cbslocal.com/2020/09/04/weather-whiplash-colorado-record-heat-cold-snow/ This article also mentioned the last measurable September snow at Denver occurred September 24th, 2000. So this hasn't happened at all in September in the last two decades. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Wow what a loop, if anyone sees this soon you can see the very robust storm in the Rockies wrapping in some of the wildfire smoke from California and Oregon. Insane how big those fires are and how much smoke is being generated. https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms=regional-southwest-truecolor-96-1-100-1&checked=map-glm_flash&colorbar=undefined https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms=subregional-Oregon-truecolor-96-1-50-1&checked=map-glm_flash&colorbar=undefined I'll add in this shortwave IR snapshot. Every one of those black spots in California is a wildfire area, and there's several more further up in Oregon too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're less than two weeks from the fall equinox, it's getting harder and harder for even the H-burg desert to get near that 90 degree mark without having a pretty anomalous airmass around. Looks really nice early next week after the passage of a system Sunday that might finally provide some regional rain chances. Also a chance of some thunderstorms mainly in the LSV tomorrow as well. The 12z Euro is actually quite robust on QPF especially in York/Lancaster counties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
