Speaker 1 (00:00):
Our favorite meteorologists on the show, that is Dave Frasier.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Dave, where's the snow.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
It's around, but it's not gonna do much in most
areas as we expected. Yeah no, but I do like
your your overview of it. It is our first chance
to see snow. And while it's been a flake here
and a flake there, the overall storm system we knew
wouldn't be moisture rich, and the chance of grassy accumulation
is still there. Don't count it out. We're not done yet.
(00:27):
There's still gonna be one last push early this evening
and that could coat the grass in a few areas
across parts of the metro and even down here on
the south side of the town. So we're not done yet.
But overall, this just was never a great storm system.
And officially, I don't think we're going to get our
first snow at the airport. You need a tenth of
an inch and I get that. I just got the change.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Yeah, earlier today I had like, oh, there's a flake.
Oh look, there's a flake. Oh there's a plake. You
know what's funny. I saw images this morning. Apparently Hawaii
got a big, old fat snowstorm.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
This morning.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Oh yeah, yeah, that's typical up on the mountains, way
up they can get clipped. That's cold enough up there
that they can get clipped with a push of moisture
and get some snow. So go figure, right, yeah, exactly
were measurable here. But listen, the mountains are doing okay
with this. Not a great storm for them either. The
latest reports I saw about an hour and a half ago,
there's some two and three inches up there. No copper
got two inches, so again it's not robust. The good
(01:18):
news is it hasn't caused travel problems. We knew the
roads down here would stay wet just given how warm
and dry we've been. It is a little bit of
good moisture. It's just not a lot. And I do
like the timing. We get it in on a weather Wednesday,
we get it out in time for Halloween, so it's good.
You guys. You guys get your sweater weathers.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
I have on a sweater right now. I'm wearing my sweater. Yes,
I'm excited about that.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Your cuddle cast is at a seven for tonight.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
There you go, there, you So what are we looking
out for the next week? Because I mean, is this
are we going to be able to look at this
as the thing that sort of pushed us into late fall,
early winter where we're going to start stop seeing those
temperatures near eighty.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Yes, I do believe that we think this is the
straw that broke the camel's back when it comes to
the warm temperatures. So as I look at the forecast
moving forward, we'll quickly get back to sixty sixty five,
could even get close to sixty tomorrow on Thursday sixty five.
That puts us about five degrees above average, which right
now is about fifty nine sixty degrees, so not terribly warm.
(02:21):
And then we have another chance to get back down
into the forties and fifties with another shot of snow
coming Monday, Monday night and into Tuesday. So another one
of these could be a mix, could be some grassy
accumulation here and there, moistures there, and of course the
overnight lows. We're going to get hammered tonight. Our message
with our pinpoint whether alert day for today, was not
really about the day. Yeah, it's gray, it's cloudy, it's cool,
(02:44):
it's wet, there's rain, there's snow, limited accumulation. It's about
tonight's low. So if you have not, like Mandy and
a Rod have already done, and I did this weekend,
disconnected your hoses, any plant you want to save have
to be covered or brought in, and that external type
TU sprinkle system has to be drained at minimum, if
not blow your sprinklers out. Kind of late game to
do that, But you've got until sundown tonight because we're
(03:05):
going down about twenty five degrees.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I even put some more mulch on one of my
flower beds this weekend. I was on the ball ready
for some snow, and now we're.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Not getting it.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
What is the next Here's my fear, right because I
am leaving to go on the next Mandy Connell Adventure
to sail down the Danube and go to Christmas markets
on November thirtieth, twenty ninth, thirtieth, I can't remember which
date right now.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
But are we going to.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
End up with some kind of like horrible Thanksgiving snarling snowstorm.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
That's going to create havoc across the country?
Speaker 1 (03:38):
What does the what does the decently far away out
look look like?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
First of all, I'm extremely jealous that you're going on
that trip. My life and I looked at doing that
trip this fall, exactly that same trip, but for certain
reasons we couldn't make it work. We're going to look
at it to maybe do a next fall.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
So, well, how it is you We got to talk
about which cruise lines and all that stuff, because I
got a lot of information for you. If you've not
done river cruising, you want to talk to me first,
so we'll do that. But what are we looking at?
I mean, do you see anything in the next three weeks?
And I know that we're not talking about in three
weeks this is going to happen, but like anything brewing
out there, so.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
As you know, I have confidence in our seven day forecast.
I have a little bit of confidence out to ten
days beyond that. No, I do think we have changed
the pattern where we are going to be more seasonal
when it comes to temperatures, and that we could start
to see more shots of moisture like we're seeing today.
I mentioned the one coming Monday, maybe on Tuesday. There
could be one towards the end the next week. So
(04:37):
I think we'll see subtleties in there. Could we get
hit with something big the overall pattern, the Lamminia pattern
that you and I have talked about here on weather
Wednesdays for months, continues as we go through and into
the weekend. There's no question. There's no question about that.
So I'm sorry somebody's calling me. So there's no there's
(05:00):
no change in that pattern. And generally what that means
is the month of November will be warmer and drive
to normal. However, let me say this. I always talk
about how one day can change things. So for the
last three weeks, we have been talking about how this October,
with the warm temperatures we've had, could be the warmest
October on record. To do that, we would need an
(05:21):
even sixty degrees. We've been running at about sixty point
five heading for that goal. However, I added today's numbers in,
and I added tomorrow's twenty five and tomorrow's Bourcast eye,
and it looks to me like we're going to average
below fifty nine point two just because of two days.
And it's the twenty five degree temperature that's going to
(05:43):
average us down out of the number one spot. So
we'll be the second warm of October. It's like grades
when you were in school, right, I was just an a.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
I just told my daughter this.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
I was like you, and I show my daughter this
on you on the little on the app that we
have the show all the grades and look at this
you've got aaaaaoh and then you didn't turn in an assignment.
Oh and look what happened here grade? And it takes
nine years to build it back up.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
To that a.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
You know, it's like exactly, it takes so little to
throw everything into chaos.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Well, that's I mean, that's not bad.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
No, no, it keeps us out of the record books.
And for dryness, we're already on the list. We're at
number eleven. We will not be drier than that. Obviously,
we don't dry out. We've got what we've got. But
if we can get one one hundred or two one
hundreds of moisture at the airport, instead of being tied
or number twelve dry octobers, we would drop to fifteen.
So you can wow, how just a simple day. And
(06:38):
that's why when we talk about those thirty day averages, Yes,
the month could end up dryer and warmer than normal,
but she doesn't tell you anything about the day to
day weather. Hence what we're experiencing today.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Well, I deputized all of my listeners as my junior
weather reporters today to let them know where it's snowing.
All we've got so far some gropple by Columbae. We've
got some light snow on the northwest of Colorado Springs.
We got a little snow flurries in Estes Park. But
other than that, I'm not seeing anything on the text
(07:10):
line indicating where there's going to be a bunch of weather.
But you know what, at least we won't have a
snorreled afternoon drive.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Well, hang on, because I do want to let you go.
There is snow out on the eastern Plain. So this
storm that is going north of us, the timing was
we would get some in the morning, there would be
a lull in the afternoon until about three, and then
we'll get one last push. So like I said earlier,
don't count out that we're done yet. And this last
push could be a couple of rodust showers, both rain
(07:36):
and snow. And if you get under one of those
snow showers, that's where we could get the grassy cumulation.
Still think the roads will just be wet, But anytime
the roads have rain or wet as on them, it
tends to small traffic a little bit in some spots.
So again that push is going to come around the
five o'clock hour for the evening commute, but should start
the pushing east by seven, and by nine o'clock we're
done and out of it.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
All right.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
That is our weather. It's gray outside. I did get
this from the air right now, It said Mandy, I
work at the airport. Have not seen any snow, and
now I can see blue skies between the clouds.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Yep, yep. There is some punching up. There is some
dry air. We dealt with that all last night. Again,
it just has to do with this storm being north
of us. We're in the wrong position for this storm.
But as it lifts out the back side of it
is going to whip in one last push. So those
great those holes in the clouds where you might be
seeing some sunshine, if you're hearing us along the front range,
(08:28):
those will fill back in. There'll be one last push
and then we'll be done with it. Unfortunately, then the
sky's clear and here comes the crashing temperatures into the twenties.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
You know what, I'm okay with that. I'm ready for
sweater weather. I'm ready to build a fire at my
house and sit by the fire and enjoy my enjoy winter.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
I'm ready. It's October. It's time, Dave Frasier, it's time.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Yep, well before we go, I know you've tied on time.
But for Halloween, the sun will come out after some
morning clouds will be near sixty and for tricker treaters
it looks great. We should be around fifty two at
five o'clock and about forty two by the time you
get to eight or nine, So I'm not bad to
the kids, all right.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Dave Fraser, thank you so much. We'll talk to you
next week, my friend.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
All right.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
See all right, So that is Dave Fraser. Flurries in
ski town. That's all we've got so far.
