  1. I am ready for proper fall weather - I have been trying to enjoy the mountain biking season as long as it lasts, but honestly the trails are getting pretty moisture starved. They need the slow/wet season to kick in soon.
  2. It is shocking how consistent the models are with this storm setup. It makes total sense as I am supposed to fly from DIA to Love Field in Dallas Wednesday early afternoon.
  3. This has been a pretty decent pattern for the front range foothills and mountains. I know we have a long way until the end of "fire season" (in parenthesis because does it really ever end??) - but this has been a low drama summer so far with decent enough precip, periods of very high precipitable water anomalies, and "humidity". Cheers to landing in mid-October with little drama and a snowstorm in the forecast.
  4. I was thinking the same thing. Ended up with just a humid and cloudy day. I guess given the top layer of soil being so saturated, knock on wood, we may have avoided any big flooding issues. But let's run this rain back again in a week please.
  5. It really seems like the mountains have been doing quite well with these waves. Great to see and hopefully it keeps the fires at bay. Down here in the urban corridor, it has been a bit more hit and miss. Certainly below average for the season so far. It seems like most days there are chances that fizzle as they drop off the higher terrain (as is typical I suppose?)
  6. Kind of typical for the monsoon. It'll always bias south and west, especially early season? Fingers crossed it creeps up this was as models had been communicating for awhile.
  7. Lovely soaking tonight in Arvada. That band out north of the city has been stationary and dumping for awhile now.
  8. It's been a nice run for moisture. Hopefully the Tuesday night "event" delivers and we keep this good luck steak running into June.
  9. Anyone have a good total precip map for this entire event? Curious how different parts of the metro did.
  10. Max depth on my deck was 4” but it was melting the whole way at 5500’ in Arvada. Snapped the crown off a maple in the backyard and have several other large limbs on the ground/roof.
  11. Transitioned to snow here in Arvada a bit ago. Light slushy accumulation on the grass and deck so far.
  12. Winter Storm Watch for the urban corridor/foothills signaling 4-10". I'd imagine it will be very elevation dependant. I want all of the moisture and none of the limb-breaking snow please.
  13. Agreed. Until I see the pros put it in a point and click forecast, it's probably out to lunch. Either way, the NWS is interpreting the models to still drop a really nice storm on the front range.
  14. Really hoping the models hold together/trend even wetter. I know beggars cant be choosers, but whenever we have a chance at meaningful precipitation in this awful pattern, I get greedy.
  15. Aged quite poorly. At least there has now been one example of "models giveth" vs the constant trend of taketh as we creep closer to a forecasted event. The rains the last few days have been quite nice.
  16. Euro was showing some pretty cracked outcomes for this rain event we just had a few days ago. Just need one of these big storms to materialize for the benefit of my lawn.
  17. Watching the models constantly pull the rug on precipitation has been frustrating.
  18. Nice to see an overperforming event at least somewhere. A Basin looks to be doing pretty well. Ground is legitimately wet here in Arvada, hopefully we get some luck and this carries on for the evening. Long-range models make it look like this is the last chance for precip until the 2nd week of May.
  19. Euro pulled back on the precip for the front range again with next weeks storm. Makes total sense, go with the trend, etc - getting very worried about fire season and I just don't believe a productive monsoon exists anymore.
  20. It is really frustrating. I know it is drier here than where I moved from (Michigan), but it seems like a total thread the needle event to get a good qpf event here.
