Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's time to bring our favorite meteorologists from box thirty
one and everywhere else. Dave Frasier, Hello, my friend, Hey.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
How are you those self self cleaning toilets? I wish
they could make them affordable for the house, don't you?
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Ah, you know what, that would be fantastic, But you
need for this one. It actually rotates the toilets, so
you have two toilets in each bathroom, and while one
of them is being used, the other one is behind
a wall being completely cleaned.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
It's amazing, so good.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Love it, Yeah, love it a fantastic Can we just
have more of this morning's weather, because that's glorious?
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Dave, what are we looking at here?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Yeah? More of the same, honestly, so question asked, and
yes we can deliver. I had a nice little brief
shower early this morning, a little bit of cloud cover.
It didn't amount to much and settled the dust on
the deck and that was it. I think tomorrow kind
of brings the same thing where we're talking about low
range chances, but early and late. So tomorrow morning kind
(00:57):
of mostly cloudy, there could be some drizzle or a
few showers. Early we'll pop some sunshine in the afternoon
and that will trigger a few scattered showers and thunderstorms.
What I like in the next few days is that
these humidity levels are going to start to come up.
We're going to tap into a little monsoon moisture, not
a huge push, not widespread rain, but the storms instead
of gusting the wind like they've done the last few days,
(01:19):
as they've been evaporating and not really producing great rain.
I think the next few days Thursday, Friday, and Saturday
all have the chance to give us some nice wedding
rain in a few areas. Again not widespread. Right.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
So I had a really interesting conversation last Sunday.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
I was at an event for my.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Favorite realtor and I met a woman who had moved
to the Springs two months ago, and I said, Oh,
what do you think of the spring. She goes, Oh,
it's really pretty, and she said, but God, it rains
every day. And I was like, that's not normal, That's
not how it normally.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Is in the summer.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
So I said, the good news is everything is still green,
Like we're not used to seeing this much green this
late in the year, you know, So we're where are
we on our rain totals for the year.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
I mean, where are we on our moisture? What do
we look at that here we're.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
In good shape. I think August really was a leg
up for us, as you know, is the third wetest
August on record. Now again some people will argue, well,
the airport got hit with the four plus ands. I
think it was four point one three inches of rain.
There were other areas that were not as beneficial when
it came to the rain. But I think the pattern
that we're seeing with rain chances coming in every few
(02:27):
days and not prolonged dry stretches of hot temperatures has
really helped. And the overnight lows at this time of
the year, as you get laid into aug in September,
you get those overnight loads, which really the plants, the vegetation,
the natural grasses, your own lawn, they love that in
the evenings, and so all of a sudden, if you're
lawn sometime in after a warm July starts to look
(02:51):
a little brown and a little bit like it's struggling,
it may all of a sudden kick back in and
you're mowing more now than you may have been six
weeks ago because of those overnight lows. You've got to
do in the morning sometimes. So I think the combination
of that, staying away from long, dry, hot stretches, having
the intervals of rain has really made the difference and
kept things going green well.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
And I think it's kind of interesting because I don't remember,
and I've only been here thirteen years.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
I don't remember a summer where.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I feel like we've had that much consistency to your point, right,
it feels like, you know, we've had maybe a couple
of weeks where it was super hot, which is expected,
but you know, every so often, just when I think
to myself, do I need to water.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
My trees, right, we get rain.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
And I don't remember a summer where I haven't had
to water my trees really at all.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
They've been really good this whole summer. So it's like
I've there's been a few.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
In our past. Twenty twenty during COVID was a very
hot summer week, seventy three days at ninety degrees or higher.
There were some at one hundred and five. That was
the most ninety degree days we had seen in the summer.
I think it was my than seventy five days in
twenty twenty, and then the hottest summer on record was
twenty twelve. For those who were here then you would
(04:07):
have been so abroughly about that timeframe. That was a
really hot summer we had. We had not only twenty
four days consecutively at ninety degrees or higher, but in
that stretch we had thirteen days at one hundred plus degrees.
So that was a really hot, baking summer and things
were not looking good though summers.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Yeah, well, hopefully what is this spell?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Okay, first of all, we should find out what the
Farmer's Almanac said this summer was going to be like,
and then we'll go back, what is this really forte
or fortel? Does it say anything about what we're going
to be expecting for fall, for early winter?
Speaker 2 (04:45):
You know it doesn't. It really doesn't. The seasonal average
stuff that I look at I always pull up before
I get on with you, because I know sometimes viewers
want to know. So we're still stuck in this pattern
with the outlooked for the month of September and we're
ten days in was for it to be warm and dry,
warmer than normal and drier than normal. That can be
a half a degree, It can be a couple of
(05:05):
extra rain drops or a few less rain drops. It
doesn't mean it's going to be record setting by any mean.
But the eighth to fourteen day outlooks so the next
seven days we've got rain chances Thursday, Frivay, Saturday a break,
and then those rain chances come back starting on Wednesday
of next week. And the outlook from the seventeenth to
the twenty third, which would be the next seven day,
is a below normal and above normal for moisture, and
(05:28):
quite a bit above normal for moisture. So if the
thirty day outlook is going to come true, then we've
got to go completely dry after the twenty third, and
I just don't see that. And what we start to
see in the computer models is we start to look
into the models and we run them forward in time,
and all the various models that we look at, and
you start to see hints of snow up over the peaks.
(05:50):
That's a sign that we're tapping into colder air locks.
We're not there yet, we haven't shut off warm temperatures.
But when we start to see computer models kicking out,
like I think it's next Wednesday, I can see there
being possibly accumulating snow on the peaks, not just the
dust name I'm not talking to see, but there could be,
because we're looking to be a little wetter towards the
(06:11):
end of next week or the middle too, end of
next week.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
All right, I have a couple questions from the text line,
sure you, David. One of them is already fallen off
the text line, so I'm just gonna have to do.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
It for memory.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
And it essentially was, Hey, Dave, why are we now
calling the forecast the future cast is forecast?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Not enough, We've always called future cast future cast. It's
been that way to my memory for twenty years. So
the forecast is the forecast, the seven day forecast, the
day park forecast, what you should expect tonight and tomorrow.
But the future cast is the computer animation that we
run for the next twenty four hours, pinpointing exactly where
storms and snow and rain might be, and we stop
(06:50):
at intervals of time to be able to say, hey,
tomorrow morning at seven am, there might be a brief
shower at new here's the sunshine at five o'clock tomorrow.
So yeah, it's just a naming mechanism that we use
for that one product. But everything falls into the umbrella
of a forecast.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Okay, so really it's just a marketing thing.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Yeah, it's just it's future cat. It's basically a computer
model that we run out. Sometimes we run the same
one day after day after day. Sometimes we'll change it
to a different model to give people a perspective. It's
just a tool for us to be able to say, hey,
here's what you should expect tomorrow, the future to look like.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Okay, so this texture said, please tell Dave I miss
him since we moved out of state. He was the
best this texter, says Mandy. Please ask Dave if the
weatherboard is a green screen or a bunch of monitors
acting in concert.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Isn't it both?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
It is both? And to that first view er, sorry
you moved out of state, and thank you for the compliments. Yes,
it's both. It's both. I didn't want to let that
one go by it men. Yeah, I know, yeah, it's both.
You know, the technology has changed in the last five
to eight years. We've had sets. I think we've had
(08:05):
two sets now, no, potentially, you know, we've had three
sets in about eight years. And the technology, the large
computers we use, you'll see them online and everywhere those
large monitors we use are actually panels that when they
can snap in and out, and when they're all snapped
in together, they look like one giant TV. So we
use both. The monitors are cool because you know, they're
(08:26):
just these big things and everything's displayed and larger than
life and we can stand in front of them. I
still enjoy the green screen because the green screen allows
us to be interactive. We have a capability with our
weather graphics computers to be interactive. And what I mean
by that is like, if I wanted to, I could
touch on things and move them around with my finger.
You can't do that on the monitor wall. So during
(08:48):
severe weather, I like to be in the chromat because
I can stay there and I can manipulate the radar
with my finger and the tools that I have right there,
I don't have to leave and go anywhere, or on
the monitor wall you can't do that. But the monitor
wall are great presentations and they're certainly the way of
that everybody's doing things these days.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
And the only problem with both of these is that
you can no longer wear your favorite color, which is green,
because you will just blend in with the rest of it.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Dave Frasier.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Absolutely, I appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
We'll talk to you again next week, my friend.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Enjoy the next few days and have a great weekend.
We sure will.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
