ValpoVike Posted Thursday at 10:48 PM Share Posted Thursday at 10:48 PM Tomorrow/Friday looks more concerning from a fire weather perspective than Wed, with lower RHs than the previous wind event, higher gust forecasts, and a much larger areal coverage of RFWs.

ValpoVike Posted Friday at 02:02 AM Share Posted Friday at 02:02 AM The RFW now has a PDS attached to it. I don’t know if that has ever been done around here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted Friday at 11:56 PM Share Posted Friday at 11:56 PM Some more very high winds of 60-110 mph in Boulder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted Saturday at 03:12 AM Share Posted Saturday at 03:12 AM There were still some real nasty localized winds, but thankfully this one doesn't seem to be as widespread as the Wednesday one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted Saturday at 04:37 PM Share Posted Saturday at 04:37 PM I flew out of DEN early this morning expecting a rough go. It was smoother than usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted Saturday at 06:33 PM Share Posted Saturday at 06:33 PM Mt. Washburn view from Yellowstone NP. This particular webcam is mostly in the clouds these days, even with the general lack of snow. The other web cams show some non-snowy ground at the entrances to the park North Entrance- Electric peak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I saw a big dust cloud towards Boulder driving up to Thornton on 25 yesterday, but winds throughout most the metro area were pretty weak.

ValpoVike Posted Saturday at 10:12 PM Share Posted Saturday at 10:12 PM I had a 50’ section of buck and rail fencing that was lifted, moved about 10’, and broken. This particular type of fencing is wide open and not prone to catching the wind. Based on the damage I estimate a 100mph+ gust. The odd thing is that it is only 70’ from my PWS which only logged a max of 56mph and is quite accurate. These gusts must have been extremely narrow and localized. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacoman25 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Looks like DEN hit 75 today, tying their all-time December high from 1980. The December record for Denver comes from the old city station in 1939, with an absurd temp of 79. So sick of this pattern we're stuck in, and it's awful for the mountains/ski season/tourism/etc. And still no sign of meaningful change 10-14 days down the road.
