80/62 here... average high of 73F. Definitely warm. Month has started out below normal but the next couple days might briefly flip it positive. Looks below normal after this too... maybe we can get a below normal September?
-
Ha, yeah I’m an idiot for leaving that out. Temps seem like they’d be pretty important. Not sure why I was assuming a 32-34F type air mass. I figure anytime you get into the 20s it’s gonna stick fine.
-
I feel like we have a pretty good handle on the warm ground stuff... -SN at 2.5 mile vis this time of year is just wet, maybe grassy coating. Anything with sustained visibility of a mile or under will stick. Especially that stuff that occurred overnight in Wyoming. I’m not sure if visibility is a better measure or liquid equivalent per hour is...but those are what matters.
-
Broomfield, CO was 90F at the 5pm obs yesterday.... 5:47am this morning they are at 2.5sm -SN. That is wild. Under 13 hours from 90F to snowing.
-
Not sure I’d agree... Wyoming doesn’t strike me as a place that taxes the crap out of their residents... I’m not sure they go for that out there. And you need to tax a small population a lot to have nice things. Bigger tax base, the more you have. Anyway, mild morning at a low of 55F.
-
Yeah sign us up for anomalous weather, we’d take that all day long. It’s not like deep winter is setting in in September... they’ll be wearing shorts again in like 3 days.
-
This graphic out of CBS in Denver is like some Game of Thrones world. Way up NW will be freezing cold, then we will have land of fire, then winter snow, then more fire...
-
Oh for sure. The mind remembers what it wants to.

It’s definitely a first world problem... I don’t think any other country cares about lawns like Americans do. I remember a J1 visa student when I worked at Topnotch Resort ask why we waste so much land on grass and shouldn’t we have gardens instead of lawns? No sir, we are prosperous enough that where other cultures grow their food, we spend several hours out of our busy lives making sure these grass blades are all uniform in height and dark green in color .
-
Ha it’s true... I also have these memories as a kid of apple picking in legit fall weather and I’m sure it’s selective memory but the past decade it seems like you have the A/C on in the car when you go to get cider donuts and apples .
-
Yeah that definitely looks like Augusta National golf course, but try again next year. It sucks but out of our control. Hopefully we don’t develop a pattern but seems every summer there are drought concerns.
-
It’s just a lawn. There will be other lawns in your life.
-
It just seems early to go totally down on winter... as you well know, all you need is stuff to align for 4-6 weeks of fun and you can see a snow year of yore. January 2011 type month can make or break a winter.
-
That might be a good thing. Tip can probably analyze why, but it’s always better to go in an underdog and win, then it is to go in a heavy favorite and lose. I feel like when those seasonal models look like an epic gangbusters winter, it’s only a recipe for disappointment.
-
Ha, yeah I remember not even being able to walk around my house or take the dog out without those crampon/tracks you wear over your boots, same idea as chains over car tires. Just inches of clear ice as ground cover.
-
That’s a lot of shift for only one decade added on those dates...

3,300ft, that landing is the top of the old Big Spruce Double chair that’s no longer there.

Some serious southerly flow going on today... wind is just cranking up here. The dogs ears look like she’s got her head out of a moving car but she’s standing still, lol. Warm air advection in full swing. Has a vibe of like an impending cutter, with WAA and mid-level clouds streaming in.
-
It does seem like a summer month more often than not. Be interesting to see the different averages if frosts/freezes are later or if that’s just imagined.
-
Pretty crazy satellite of the fires in Cali...that’s when the lack of rain gets real in a hurry.
-
I can't believe it was 96F two years ago down there, ha. Looks like BOS hit 97F on today's date in 2018 too. That's impressive.
-
BDL's average high is 78F... it's 81F there. Like in January when the average high is 28F and its 31F, meh. They'll probably get another 3-4F today though. Two years ago in 2018 it was 96F today. That's a torch.
-
Wasn't that wet cut-off in late June? That one that kept pinwheeling rain in cyclonic flow for like 3 days?
-
It's ok, we try to tell him the definitions of chamber of commerce weather can change throughout the year... looks like it only took a week for a torch to go from 90F at BDL to 80F.
-
The diurnal ranges out west are hard to fathom... was just clicking around, saw Steamboat Springs had a high of 89F yesterday and right now it’s 40/28 with a forecast high of 87F again today. Just massive near 50F temp swings...wake up chilly at 40F and then have upper 80s by 2pm.
