Dave Fraser's Fox thirty Wait, Fox thirty one's Dave Fraser
A little.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I just apparently you own well, Katie, Sure we.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
Should Hi, Dave, good afternoon. How you doing on this Wednesday?
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Apparently? Well, you know what's wrong with me right now?
Speaker 1 (00:15):
My socks have slid down the back of my heel
and are halfway off my foot. That is what's happening
in my world right now, Dave Fraser.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
I understand that. Annoying as that can be. I get it.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
It's nice out though, a little warm. What are we
looking at for the next week or so?
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Yeah, so we've got a nice cold front coming in.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
Today will be calm.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
We don't have any songs.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
In the forecast, just the sunny, warm day. Temperatures today
should be very similar to yesterday. Yesterday Denver topped doubt it.
I believe eighty eight will be right there at eighty eight,
eighty nine degrees, no cloud cover, maybe a couple out
on the eastern plaints tonight.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
We got a cold front coming in, so for a
few hours tonight.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
The cold front will come in from north to south
and it'll get a little breezy to windy. Fifteen twenty five,
you'll notice the win, but then.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
It will lay down. Right now, temperatures in Montana, Wyoming are.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
In the mid and upper sixties. I don't think we'll
cool that much, but we'll be down into the mid
to upper seventies tomorrow and a beautiful Sunnay day. Really,
Tomorrow just looks gorgeous, Just an unbelievable sunny, cool, comfortable day. Friday,
we're back close to ninety and then we're tracking some
pretty good rain chances. Saturday's hit and miss, but Sunday
and Monday look really promising for rain, and we may
(01:26):
only be in the sixties for sixties come Sunday and Monday. Yeah,
nice cold front coming away, good chance to pick up
a quarter a third, and I'm seeing half inch totals
possible come Sunday Monday. That would be awesome given the
fact that we've been you know, we'll be dry for
two or three days before that.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
And thank you for telling me to bring in my plants.
The other day. We got we got shelled with hale
the other day.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
So my husband came through and brought in all my
plants and they all survived and they all look wonderful.
Now I got to tell you, Dave, you sound almost
giddy when you talk out those potential rainfall totals.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Are we gaining it all on our drought?
Speaker 4 (02:06):
No, we're not.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
We're inching. You were slowly inching.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Any moisture depending on you know, when it comes. Like
if we go seven ten days dry and we get
a little bit of moisture, probably doesn't move the needle.
We're not moving the needle substantially. Pretty much all of
Colorado is in some level of drought. But the good.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
News is, and we've talked about this for weeks and weeks.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
You go back to March and how dry it was
and how warm it was with all the eighty degree days,
and everybody was all concerned about fire.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Danger and what the spring and the rest of the summer.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Would look like. And I've always said, you know, you
can't give up.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
On a season.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
You gotta wait. And so we got into the growing
season and April gave us a little boost, and then
May was very promising, and we all saw the results
of the May rain. It didn't rain the whole month,
but it rained enough, and now we've got this green.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Or you know looking I mean, even.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
The natural grasses and the sage brush and everything looks
really good, but we're still in a drought condition. What
I like about, and.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
I'm smiling about, is.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
That we're at least introducing a chance for rain about
every three days. So, yes, it's hot and it's dry,
and I don't want things.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
To dry out, and I don't want the fire danger
in the conversation to come back.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
And we do have a red flag warning today for
high fire dingjury because of the wind. Mainly because of
the wind.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
However, I like the rain that I'm seeing ahead.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
And then we'll go dry for a couple more days, and.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I'm seeing additional rain next Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
The following weekend also looks soggy. I like that pattern.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Well, I like it, except I'm going to see Paul
Simon this weekend. So am I going to be okay
on Saturday night? Is that going to be? Am I
going to get rained on?
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Is it going to be another Steely Dan situation?
Speaker 4 (03:44):
I don't think so. I think Saturday storms are scattered
and there will be in the typical timeframe of about
two to six up and down.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
The I twenty five quarter maybe seven o'clock, and they're gone.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
So for an evening concert, you know, maybe the beginning
of it's a little you know, you might get a
rain dropper two, and maybe it's a little breezy, But overall,
I think the evening itself should be fine.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Saturday, yay.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
So I've got a question from one of our listeners.
Good afternoon, Mandy. I have a question for mister Fraser
on Fox thirty one. I've always wondered how do high
wind warnings work. Take for example, today, there's sixty five
mile an hour cross winds between Cheyenne and Torington, but
there's no high wind warning. In the wintertime, there would
be a high wind warming.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
It seems.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Thanks, So explain the high wind warnings, what kicks that
in and is it different season to season.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
It's not different season the season it is it is different.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
It's based on the parameters for the land, and I
think the low end threshold is actually sixty mile per hour.
So if you only have some areas that are dealing
with that, in other words, it's a limited area, they're
probably not going to put out a whole watch for
that or a warning for that. I do know right
now that I'm just looking at the maps right now
(04:57):
that there is a high wind watch from six o'clock
this morning through this afternoon, and it does include areas
along the Interstate eighty up into Wyoming, so the Laramie
Range and those areas to the north.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
So there is some.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
High wind advisories in those areas for the wind.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
But no, it doesn't change season to season.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
You want sixty plus seventy eighty, you got to start
to get into that kind of wind and then you're
going to get a high wind warning for damaging winds.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Okay, speaking of warnings, Denver got quite the shock when
the tornado warnings went off.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
How does that process work?
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Dave?
Speaker 3 (05:35):
So, what should have happened? As we all know that
that was a mistake alert.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
The city admitted that. They said it was a human error.
Someone manually triggered the sirens that are meant to be
heard outdoors for tornado warnings and or other emergencies where
you're supposed to take shelter and get inside. It was
an error. It's frustrating for that to happen.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Generally, what should happen.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Is the National Weather Service would be the responsible party
for triggering a warning for the Denver County area. That
would automatically then trigger the sirens, alerting people to head inside.
It's a little frustrating that the mistake happened, and because
it's human era, I don't want to see somebody losing
their job. But the city has stepped up and said
(06:26):
that they took responsibility for it. They're going to look
into it and see if they can fix it. There
were a couple other instances early this year where the
sirens went off for different reasons, not weather related. What
was frustrating to a lot of meteorologists was couldn't have
happened on a work It happened on a sunny day.
If that had happened on a sunny day, everybody would
have just ignored it and gone on.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
But we were under thunderstorm warnings.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
We did have a tornado watch, meaning conditions are possible
for tornadoes, but there was no imminent threat.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Of an actual tornado. Here's what I will say.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
If you heard those alarms and you reacted correct and
you went inside and kind of made sure that there
wasn't anything threatening from weather. Sorry that you were inconvenience,
but at least you did the right thing, then we're
owned the mistake and let's hope it doesn't happen in
the future. But we as meteorologists, we fight a lot
(07:17):
these days on social media and other venues where misinformation
or bad information is being given out, and we're trying
to be that calm voice through all that noise. Yeah,
and make sure that viewers and listeners, Your listeners are viewers,
people who follow us on our digital platforms and social
platforms are getting the right, correct, most accurate information we
(07:40):
can provide. And that just didn't help.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
So running around in front of the green screen yelling
We're all going to die isn't part of the plan
over there at Fox thirty one.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Right. The sky is falling, the sky is falling. But
what we try and avoid all the time is the
boy you cried wolf. Yeah, that's the situation, right.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
I mean, living in Florida, I'll tell you, hurricane fatigue
is real. And when you have, like in a really
active hurricane season where you have three or four storms
that have come ashore, you know, and then you have
ten storms that they tell you are going to come
ashore and they.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Don't, you just get sick of it. You just are like,
I don't care if the house blows down, I'm not leaving.
And that's when things get bad.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Well, you know, and you know that not only from
the repetition of fatigue, but also from the Okay, we're gonna,
we're gonna. It's a category two.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
We should be doing this, this, and this, and you
do everything.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
And you follow the instructions, and the category two goes
by and you go, huh.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
That wasn't so bad.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
And so the next one comes along and you're like, well,
the last one wasn't a big deal, what's the big.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Deal this time? And this one actually does.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
A lot more damage. So that's what we fight, right.
We want to make sure we're giving out the information.
And by the way, I don't like telling people what
to do. I like providing information as detailed as I can,
as specific and it's accurate, more pinpointed to time and
place as I can, and then I'm hoping that information
(09:06):
is received and then people act on it accordingly.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
You know, we have this term called beweather.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Ready, and so hopefully people are paying attention to the
message and hopefully they're getting the message from the right source.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Dave, you can bring him to a horse to water,
but you can't make him sink Dave Frasier from Fox
thirty one.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
I'll talk to you next week, my friend. I'd have
a great rest of the week YouTube my da

Speaker 2 (00:04):
I just apparently you own well, Katie, Sure we.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
