Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dave Fraser from Fox thirty one about what's going to
be coming from the friendly Skys soon.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Hello mister Fraser, Hey.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
Welcome to monsoon season. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
I don't mind it. I'm not gonna lie. This makes
me happy. I'm sure it's been very helpful for the
firefighters that are finishing up with these fires that we've
had go that could have gone a lot worse. And
I don't want to hex anything. I just knocked on wood.
But are we going to have a healthy dose of
rain throughout the week or what are we looking at? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (00:30):
I mean since Sunday you could probably start to feel
the transformation. While we've still been in the nineties for
the last few days and did reach one hundred on Sunday,
you've been noticing the clouds coming in earlier to set
the stage for scattered storms and the storms that we've
seen so far through today and what we're about to
see this afternoon if you get one and again they
(00:50):
have been scattered. They are very efficient in making rain,
and that's the monsoon season that we've been waiting for.
I think our next two best chances for rain are
going to be Thursday and followed again by Monday. If
next week all which look to have a high chance
for a lot more people along the front range to
see measurable rain that could exceed a half to an
inch over the long period. Even your weekend is going
(01:13):
to have scattered storms. So it's all good news. And
by the way, seventies for the next two days.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
How about that? Oh that's delightful.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
I have a you know, Hurricane Debbie just smashed through
my hometown area and I'm talking to close friends that
I have there and I said, if you guys could
just pull Debbie to the west, that'd be great. You know,
we we'll take it out here. But they're getting just
relentlessly hammered. And now the rivers are coming up, and YadA, YadA, YadA,
it's going to be it's going to be bad there
(01:39):
for a while. But you know, we've talked about the
tropical storm sort of effect on Colorado, but what is
now going to be We're getting them monsoon when sucking
up the moisture from the south, But what is the
is this going to push back and keep the smoke
from the California wildfires out of here? What's the smoke
forecast for the next few days.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Yeah, I think so. The rain and the forecast and
the wind direction should both combine to cleanse the air,
if you will. Well, we've had rain showers for the
last few days, there's still been a hint of smoke,
and that's mainly because we haven't been able to get
it widespread. I think you'll notice conditions now after we
get through this period, starting to say the middle of
(02:21):
next week. If they don't get a handle on those
fires out west, it is possible as we return to
the typical flow, we could start to see the smoke
coming back our way. But I would say you starting
tomorrow morning with a cold front coming in. It actually
comes in tonight, the wind direction is going to be
more in a north northeasterly easterly direction, and that's going
to keep everything pushing off to the west of us
(02:42):
and increasing our chances for rain. And I like the
way it looks. You're looking at overcasts, mostly cloudy sky,
kind of sholler we rain through the day. I think
Friday looks very gray and wet through most of the
day from early to late. So it's absolutely great news.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I got a.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Text message question for you, Mandy.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Could you please ask Dave.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Why humidity seems higher at night than during the day.
I was recently in Cancun. Is it just because we
don't have any sunlight to warm us?
Speaker 3 (03:11):
So we always talk about the humidity. The humidity is
based on temperature, so you know, it depends if the
moisture in the air doesn't change all day, the humidity
value will rise as the temperature cools. Okay, so it's
dependent on temperature, and it's kind of it's kind of
hard to explain. So if you have a balloon and
(03:32):
it's half filled with water, and that balloon never changes,
but the balloon expands during the day, it appears with
the heating of the day and expansion of the balloon
that the balloon is containing less water. And then as
the air temperature cools and the balloon shrinks, the water
level looks like it rises, therefore a higher humidity. The
reality is the amount of moisture in the balloon never
changed all day long, so you may notice it more
(03:53):
in the evening as it cools off. It's interesting we
have that we have a new meteorologist who joined our
team this week, aled In and we were out on
Monday outside and he came to us from Louisville. Oh yeah,
well yeah, so he's joining us from Louisville. I walked
outside and I looked at him and they said, hey, all,
I might ask you a question. You think it feels humid?
And he looked at me said absolutely not. I said, well,
(04:14):
while Colorado's standard, today is a human day, and you
looked at me with this blank expression like you got
to forkid me. I said, nope, this is a humid
day for Colorado, Dave.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
When I first moved here, so it was like April,
and my boss and his boss took me to a
baseball game and we're sitting in the seats and my
boss looks over and goes, man, I'm sorry it's so humid,
And I had literally just said to Chuck, I love.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
This no humidity.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
It's also an earth perspective because coming from an actual
humid place, forty percent humidity feels glorious. But to us
we're like, oh God, the water in the air is
sucking the life out of me.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
So there you go. That's yeah, that's very, very funny.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
I always tell people and ranchers and farmers pay more
attention to this. If you look at current conditions where
you get that information from, whether it's our weather app
or on a website or whatever. Look at the due point,
not this humidity, and the due point will tell you.
So twenties, thirties, forties is going to be comfortable. We
start to get into the upper forties, fifties and beyond.
(05:14):
That's sticking air for Colorado. Now in the Midwest, that
due point number can go sixty seventy eighties right on
the air that you're talking about. If you can pull
a straw to putting your mouth and drink the.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Air, Yeah, exactly. I mean being for Florida, that's the
Florida air all the time.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
So there's no reprieve there.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Somebody just asks any hail threat from these storms in
the next few days Today.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Yes, I think the next two days. The atmosphere is
too cool for that. So with the colder air coming
in a loft tonight, a couple of thunderstorms we've seen
it with a few of the last few days, they
can produce hail. I think if there's going to be
hailed that's large enough to be considered a threat for damage,
it would be in extreme northeast Colorado. They will get
the colder air first, as the storms get going this
(05:57):
afternoon and at this time of the air, I always
tell people, even though we don't have a severe weather
threat on many many days, any thunderstorm that develops at
our altitude can generate hale. The goal is to keep
it on the small side so it doesn't cause damage
to property or rip leaves off of trees or damaged flowers.
And I think if we do see that today, it
would be on the smaller end we won't have to
(06:17):
worry about it. With the exception of the north east Colorado,
and then with the cooler climate for the next couple
of days, the lower temperatures, I think we're just dealing
with steady showers and good beneficial rain.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
And then the last question, what's the weather for the
Broncos on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
It's begun, Dave, it's begun.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Yeah. They're in Seattle, right, Indian, so it doesn't matter. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Isn't Indian Indies a dome? Right? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Yeah, that's right. They're in Indy, not Seattle. Yes, Seattle's
their first official game of the season. Yeah, so they're
in Indy, climate controlled in seventy five degrees.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
There you go, perfect forecast.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Once again, he's right all the time in Indianapolis Forecasting. Fraser,
appreciate your time. As always, we'll talk to you again
next week.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Have a great weekend, all right.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
