frontranger8 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 1 hour ago, mayjawintastawm said: 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!) Yeah, severe t-storm watch and then couldn't even see any storms from here. Today looks a little less hazy, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayjawintastawm Posted June 24 Author Share Posted June 24 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.

Chinook Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 new mesoscale discussion Quote Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent SUMMARY...Thunderstorm development appears likely by late afternoon for southeast Wyoming and into the Colorado Front Range. Watch issuance will likely be needed as convection begins to intensify. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly continuous thunder/lightning for a couple hours, .34" of rain and some hail. Looked like the Littleton area really got slammed. Getting some more light rain this morning, too.

I also had been missing out with storms going north and south of me, and mostly by a wide margin. However this morning we had a nice, gentle 3 hour rain. It only amounted to 0.19" but I'll take it.

mayjawintastawm Posted June 25 Author Share Posted June 25 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.

frontranger8 Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Squall line moving south down the Front Range from WY, kinda unusual. Will be interesting to see how far it makes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 A squall moved from Cheyenne to Fort Collins, and the windy outflow boundary made it down to Denver, with renewed storm development right at Denver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Thankfully I got about a half inch yesterday to save from a disappointing week. Now the torch begins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayjawintastawm Posted June 27 Author Share Posted June 27 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted Wednesday at 10:20 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 10:20 PM It must be another sort of nasty, hazy day for you guys My place in Ohio hit 99, the highest since 2024, I think.

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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
