    1.01"- can't complain too much. All the showers today missed one direction or the other.

    Rain may not be continuous with this one, but the showers have been potent. The conveyor belt worked its way north during the morning and we're on the very north edge, having had 0.74" rain in 8 hours. Looks to continue for a while so we may get our 1" after all. 38-39 F at 5650'. Brr.

    Here we go again. What can you do when all the models say you'll get 1"+, 12 hours before the event. Gonna be a long fire season. Forecast for Sunday: Rain late. Measured precip: zero. Forecast for Monday: Rain late. Measured precip: zero. Today the closest precip is about 70 miles south.

    Given recent May-hem, I wouldn't be surprised. Hot today though! Was 79 a few minutes ago, wonder if it'll break 80 before the clouds take over.

    600 passengers... that's called flying a building, not an airplane. Seen a couple up close at Dulles on the shuttle between terminals, wow. Missed this one's landing by an hour and a half on Wednesday, but seen quite a few take off and land at other airports. They actually don't seem to take as long to get off the ground and climb out as the 747s do.

    First week of May always seems to be the only gloomy, wet week of the year here in the Denver Metro (I'll take it!)- 0.40" rain last night and several days more predicted next week.

    Reposted from Colorado Storm Chasers FB group: it seems like the fan in Elbert County (see discussion from winter thread a couple weeks ago) will be in full operation tomorrow.

    Opened a warm season thread for now through Octoberish.
  9. mayjawintastawm
    On to a new thread, hoping for moisture this warm season. NWS says warm and dry, what a surprise. Fortunately, mountain snowpack most places is reasonable.

    Just a note as the warm weather 2025 thread opens- Loveland ski area has had 20 inches of snow the last 48 hours! One last opportunity for a powder day- unfortunately too many Easter weekend plans. 3.6" snow total in April, 51.1" on the season unless we get anything more.
  11. mayjawintastawm
    A wet inch here, nothing to write home about except for the unseasonable warmth and all the flowers out earlier this week. Total moisture 0.09" at both DEN and APA.
  12. mayjawintastawm
    But as always, QPF for this "storm" for my area goes 0.9" (Mon), 0.7" (Tues), 0.6" (yesterday), 0.45" (now)... I'll expect 0.1" and be happy with 0.4". Glad I don't farm for a living.
  13. mayjawintastawm
    Would be nice if either of those came close to verifying.
  14. mayjawintastawm
    Got 0.1 inches of snow last night, total 2.1" in April. Lots of chilly blossoms on the trees, but it didn't get super cold (low of 30 here) so things should be OK.
  15. mayjawintastawm
    That could attract tourists from as far away as... Colorado. Driven that a bunch of times, and by that stage, anything is worth stopping for.
  16. mayjawintastawm
    Seems like Elbert County causes practically anything that goes through there to rotate. Must be a great big hidden fan or something.
  17. mayjawintastawm
    You know, I thought I saw that too, in my backyard with clouds at different levels moving in opposite directions about 5 PM yesterday. 0.5" of wet snow last night, to combine with 0.2" in all of March (!) for 48.0" on the season to date. Will we get more this week?
  18. mayjawintastawm
    Now the GFS is drinking heavily, with 2 feet plus of snow for much of NE Colorado next Sat-Sun. All the major models have 6 inches plus, even the ensembles. The ECMWF seems to have returned to its usual sedate self. Hmm. I do have a couple of lift tickets left.
  19. mayjawintastawm
    0.72" rain between midnight and 7 AM today, most in one go since the November snowstorm. Nice! Though I've never seen so many flowers blooming in March since I lived in NC.
  20. mayjawintastawm
    Euro's been fooling around with the GFS and thought it'd pull an April Fool's joke. Where would the cold air come from?
  21. mayjawintastawm
    Yeah, I'm a little suspicious of that. Not sure how weather this dry and warm with no snow cover for a while now wouldn't result in a decrease in soil moisture at least. I'm guessing the data are lagging behind, somehow.
  22. mayjawintastawm
    Had a glorious powder day at Loveland yesterday, but wow- what happened to the end of winter here?? DEN has had 1.07 inches of precipitation since December 1st. That's like actual desert criteria.
  23. mayjawintastawm
    Wow, lots of red east of the Divide for 500 miles or so. The Gulf has been closed for business as regards any moisture.
  24. mayjawintastawm
    Had a 65 mph wind gust at my house last night about 10:30 PM, though only a trace of snow. Biggest gust since I got the station a year or so ago. Still gusty this AM though much less.
  25. mayjawintastawm
    And ice went out on Cherry Creek Lake over the last 24 hours, remarkable because 2 weeks ago it was at its thickest. 60s during the day with full sun and nights above freezing will do that. Short season this year, only about 8 weeks frozen.
