    great- will keep fingers crossed for today. Just a trace here since 6/25.

    Fun fact: Precip year to date at my house=4.18 inches, roughly 55% of normal (Centennial). Yikes. Denver has 4.7".

    Yes, between the consistent gusty SSW wind and the smoke, it's the most uncomfortable fire weather in the Denver Metro since the Black Forest fire several years back. The Aspen Acres fire has doubled in size in 24 hours, now just shy of 48K acres per Watch Duty (which is an awesome website).

    Thursday finally delivered to some extent with about 0.3" in an hour and a half. Total all week just under half an inch. I think it all evaporated since 9 AM.

    Yeah, we got 0.08"- storms really fizzled as they came out of the foothills here last night around 10 PM, no good explanation. Continuous lightning and thunder to the west, walked the dogs quickly and took the plants in, then 20 minutes later just some light rain and poof.

    Warmer for sure here today, and earlier, and sunnier- also less of the chilly N/NE wind we had yesterday. DP at 1 PM here was 62, the highest I've seen in a long time when it wasn't actively raining. All we need is lift. EDIT: 85/63 at 3 PM. That's about the least Front Range-ish you can get.

    Smoke was a big inhibitor of heating yesterday along the central and northern Front Range/Urban Corridor, so storms never popped locally even when the outflows from the other storms moved through. Cap for the win. Hopefully today will be different (though I certainly don't need 2" hail!)

    OK, for the mets out there: I saw something yesterday that I haven't seen or heard of before. There was an air quality alert for ozone, but it wasn't for the typical sun + stagnant air + vehicle exhaust combination. It was for a "stratospheric intrusion". The weather was stable and I don't think winds were that weird. What's that all about?

    The Kiowa Vortex Generator strikes again.

    We got 0.03" rain.
  11. mayjawintastawm
    Temp rose 10 degrees in the last hour and dewpoints now up to the upper 50s... let's go!

    Front Range north of COS is in a Slight Risk for this afternoon, mostly for hail with 1" hail east of I-25. Time to drag the pots under the patio roof...

    I think I'm safe now in declaring 34.8" as the 2025-6 snow total at my house. Could be a slight underestimate but within an inch or so. About the 3rd least in our 16 winters.
  14. mayjawintastawm
    We've had just fringes of things here, no hail and 0.11" rain since Monday.

    Kind of strange, because when you look at the monthly precip so far, DEN has 0.78 and Centennial 1.00 inches, considerably less than this analysis.

    It's kind of funny that this "warm season" thread is all about snow, and the "cold season" thread was mostly about heat and dryness. Go figure!

    5.3" here total, was in a bit of a hole from mid evening through about 6 AM, but not complaining- no damage to trees and minimal to shrubs. Not nearly as much as 2022 where the chain saws were busy in the neighborhood for several days. I'll take it.
  19. mayjawintastawm
    A very saturated 1.8" at 11 PM here. Rates, indeed! Need some.
  20. mayjawintastawm
    Changed here at 5 PM sharp, was real heavy for an hour, now much lighter. Catching its breath I guess. Accumulation is going to be hard to assess due to melting as it falls, but my white styrofoam box lid is ready and waiting. Maybe an inch and a half??
  21. mayjawintastawm
    Been away for work the last 10 days... what a difference! This setup reminds me of the storm in 2022 where we got close to a foot of snow, with the difference in our neighborhood being that many trees that had leafed out are all shriveled this year because of 20 degree temps a couple weeks ago- so, ironically, are protected! 35 F and 0.20 inches of rain so far.
  22. mayjawintastawm
    3.3" here with good water content! Best in a month. Hoping this may start a trend. 29 F at 3 PM.
  23. mayjawintastawm
    Gotta believe the models are up to their usual gaslighting. Believe it when it's actually melted and in the ground.
  24. mayjawintastawm
    Let's see if we can shake off some drought the rest of this Spring-Summer-Fall. What do you all think?
  25. mayjawintastawm
    Well, it's April. 26.2" snow this season (15th out of my 16 winters here, after 2011-12), may not be over yet but time to start a new thread for the "warmer half" of the year.
