Sometimes I wonder what might cause the atoms to light up in the magenta (must be red plus blue) and then the green at lower levels. Fort Collins cooled down to 47 this morning. Then it is right back to 84 right now, several degrees above average. It's almost as if the USA is in some sort of hot drought and repelling cold air.

Newman Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 That closed off shortwave sliding underneath/through the region should be enough to give some solid snows to the higher elevations 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed this more and more over the last few Septembers- a thin layer of cool air reminds us what month it is when we get radiational cooling at night, but as soon as the sun rises it mixes right out and vanishes. The cooling gets more transient and the heat gets more persistent year over year. I don't think I've seen the Front Range views completely snow-free for this long and this late, maybe ever.

mayjawintastawm Posted October 3 Author Share Posted October 3 Denver obliterated its all-time September average temp, with 70.0 F this year. All the top 5 warmest Septembers have been in the last 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newman Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 We still haven't hit 32 at the Laramie AP this fall, which has broken our record for the latest first freeze on record (previous record October 4th). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lookingnorth Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 It looks like almost every city in Arizona but Flagstaff broke their October record high in the past few days. It hit 113F in Phoenix and Yuma. Some record highs were set in California as well. San Jose managed to hit 106, breaking the old monthly record high by 5F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 you didn't want to see this warmest for Denver in this 60 day period 700mb temp was 1.75C to 2C (3.15F to 3.6F) above normal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newman Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 Even more incredible Aurora up here tonight. No edits at all, captured on my Google Pixel cell phone with 4 minute exposure time. 8:28pm north of Laramie 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lookingnorth Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 Now I'm wondering what the record longest consecutive stretch of record highs is for a location with at least a 100 year POR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you see it with the naked eye or did you need binoculars to spot it? We've had clouds to the west and southwest at sunset persistently over the last 3 days, not to mention smoke up against the foothills from the WY fires (I'm assuming).

It was very visible to the naked eye. Yesterday it was at mag 1.5, and I believe this evening it will be 2.5. For sure a bit dimmer this evening and there is a lot of smoke up here, so I don’t have my hopes up too much for a spectacular encore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted October 17 Share Posted October 17 There are two cold fronts on the map, the temperature has dropped to the 40's and even 30's in Wyoming. There are winter storm warnings as seen on the map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayjawintastawm Posted October 21 Author Share Posted October 21 So weird and typical of this fall... predicted 0.5"+ QPF 36 hours out turned into a solid 0.1" around the Denver Metro over the weekend, then this morning about 4:45 there was a thunderstorm with brief small hail but NO measurable precip (!) at my house. Max I found around the Metro was about 0.05". Meanwhile NM had severe flooding down near Roswell. Bring on some kind of pattern change... anything will do.

Chinook Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 It will be a record-breaking warm October if: Denver gets above 59.9F monthly, 56.2 for Fort Collins, 58.2 for Colorado Springs, 61.0 for Pueblo, 54.4 for Cheyenne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newman Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 Watching what could be our first snowfall in the Laramie valley this week around Wednesday. Upper level trough digs into the West Coast and ejects across the front range/Rockies, spawning lee cyclogenesis. Question becomes how amplified this trough gets, with the Euro/Canadian advertising a deeper trough that allows positive vorticity advection in a favorable location south of Wyoming, and thus cyclogenesis across Colorado. Meanwhile the GFS is less aggressive and swings the energy through SE WY which would bring just rain and dry slotting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
