WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:01.760
<v Speaker 1>It is time to do what we do every Wednesday,

2
00:00:01.760 --> 00:00:04.719
<v Speaker 1>which is take your weather questions via the Common Spirit

3
00:00:04.759 --> 00:00:07.839
<v Speaker 1>Health text line at five six six nine oh with

4
00:00:07.960 --> 00:00:10.880
<v Speaker 1>our favorite meteorologists That my friends would be Dave Frasier

5
00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:11.679
<v Speaker 1>from Box thirty one.

6
00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:15.039
<v Speaker 2>How you do it, Dave still favorite? After all these

7
00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:17.120
<v Speaker 2>rainy days, I'll take that, you know what.

8
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:18.719
<v Speaker 1>I got to tell you, I was ready for a

9
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:21.760
<v Speaker 1>break in the weather, though, Dave. I mean it was

10
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:24.440
<v Speaker 1>just I'm kind of I was done with the heat.

11
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:27.519
<v Speaker 1>I'm not naive to think that we're totally done with summer,

12
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:30.719
<v Speaker 1>but this has been a nice break for me anyway.

13
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:33.079
<v Speaker 3>I've enjoyed the cloudy days.

14
00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:35.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I think it was welcome there. We had

15
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:38.840
<v Speaker 2>gone almost two weeks with ninety degree temperatures and then

16
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:41.320
<v Speaker 2>we got the break starting over the weekend, and of

17
00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:43.000
<v Speaker 2>course the last few days in the seventies, and that

18
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:46.200
<v Speaker 2>trend's going to continue. We might touch eighty degrees one

19
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:49.079
<v Speaker 2>or two days going into the holiday weekend, but right

20
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:51.039
<v Speaker 2>now our average is eighty six. We don't even have

21
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:53.399
<v Speaker 2>an average temperature, so we're going to stay cool. And

22
00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:55.679
<v Speaker 2>there is a soba lining, as I always say, and

23
00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:59.439
<v Speaker 2>it is been the moisture yesterday or that rain along

24
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:01.960
<v Speaker 2>the Northern Range and over the Eastern Plains hit the

25
00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:05.439
<v Speaker 2>censor at DIA record rain total for the day yesterday

26
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:08.120
<v Speaker 2>on the twenty six. So that's the good news, right,

27
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:10.400
<v Speaker 2>is the break in the heat, but the moisture, the

28
00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:13.799
<v Speaker 2>higher humidity kind of reducing the fire risks, maybe helping

29
00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:16.359
<v Speaker 2>the western slope a little bit with drought conditions. This

30
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:18.439
<v Speaker 2>is not a drought busting rain for them. They got

31
00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:20.599
<v Speaker 2>a lot of work to do. But any moisture is welcome,

32
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:22.120
<v Speaker 2>I agree.

33
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:23.920
<v Speaker 3>And how are things going?

34
00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:26.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, we got the big fire happening on the

35
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:29.040
<v Speaker 1>western slope. Are they getting any of this rain? I

36
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:30.680
<v Speaker 1>know we're getting it on the Front Range, But what's

37
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:33.760
<v Speaker 1>happening over there? And what are the immediate weather impacts

38
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:34.680
<v Speaker 1>for that situation.

39
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:39.079
<v Speaker 2>They have been getting some, they haven't been getting a lot.

40
00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:42.000
<v Speaker 2>In other words, it's not anything at this point that's

41
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:45.359
<v Speaker 2>going to squash the fire. Unfortunately, when you look at radar,

42
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:48.799
<v Speaker 2>most of the better rain is focused towards the eastern

43
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:50.640
<v Speaker 2>half of the state. We just have a little more

44
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:54.239
<v Speaker 2>higher humidity here. We've got a nice east southeasterly wind

45
00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:57.239
<v Speaker 2>which is tapping into Gulf of Mexico moisture. There is

46
00:01:57.280 --> 00:01:59.480
<v Speaker 2>some monsoon moisture coming up and out of the south

47
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:01.480
<v Speaker 2>and west. But as I look at the radar right now,

48
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:03.840
<v Speaker 2>it's been the same for the last three days. There's

49
00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:06.480
<v Speaker 2>scattered showers over the west, but where the Lee Fire

50
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:09.280
<v Speaker 2>is closer to Meeker, they're getting some light showers. But

51
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:11.719
<v Speaker 2>the heavier rain is just now building over the Continental

52
00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:14.439
<v Speaker 2>Divide west of Fort Collins, and then that's what will

53
00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:16.560
<v Speaker 2>spread over the east. So if we could flip it

54
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:18.879
<v Speaker 2>and point it the opposite direction, I think it might

55
00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:22.719
<v Speaker 2>be more helpful. But they're getting some they're getting some relief. Listen,

56
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:26.159
<v Speaker 2>even lower temperatures, a lower cloud deck, and higher humidity

57
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:29.319
<v Speaker 2>else in containing and fighting those fires.

58
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:31.759
<v Speaker 3>All right, that's good news, I guess. So what are

59
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:33.680
<v Speaker 3>you expecting? What do we got coming up?

60
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:36.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, I obviously I'm not asking for an exact forecast,

61
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:39.439
<v Speaker 1>but what's your general thoughts about the next couple of weeks.

62
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:44.120
<v Speaker 2>So I looked as I always do, and the weather

63
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:48.719
<v Speaker 2>pattern through our forecast for the next seven days does

64
00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:51.719
<v Speaker 2>include below normal temperatures and I don't have a dry

65
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:55.759
<v Speaker 2>day in the forecast. Now I will underscore that Tomorrow

66
00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:58.599
<v Speaker 2>I think looks like today. I think Friday looks like today.

67
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:01.560
<v Speaker 2>With the timing and the chains for showers and thunderstorms,

68
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:04.919
<v Speaker 2>we stay close to eighty degrees seventy nine eighty degrees.

69
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:07.159
<v Speaker 2>Some of it could be heavy as they're kind of

70
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.120
<v Speaker 2>slow moving. Saturday, I think is very similar as well,

71
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:11.919
<v Speaker 2>may only be in the mid seventies. So for the

72
00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:15.960
<v Speaker 2>holiday weekend, Saturday is your web day. Now, Sunday and Monday.

73
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:19.319
<v Speaker 2>Between you and me, Mandy, I'm doing a cya ten percent.

74
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:22.719
<v Speaker 2>I think both days are actually okay. I don't think

75
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:24.599
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot. I don't think there's a lot going on.

76
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:26.800
<v Speaker 2>I think the foothills could see a couple of showers.

77
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:29.879
<v Speaker 2>I think the Palmer Divide south of Denver could, But

78
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:32.039
<v Speaker 2>I think the vast majority of the front range of

79
00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:36.199
<v Speaker 2>northeast Colorado may get through Sunday Monday without seeing the storms.

80
00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:38.039
<v Speaker 2>And that's your allow of temperatures to get back into

81
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:40.719
<v Speaker 2>the low eighties. And then the wet pattern comes back

82
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:43.919
<v Speaker 2>after that and we get back into the upper seventies

83
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:46.800
<v Speaker 2>as we get to Tuesday and Wednesday next week. Now,

84
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:50.120
<v Speaker 2>the long range outlook for eight to fourteen days, which

85
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:53.319
<v Speaker 2>is the third through the ninth of September is cooler

86
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:55.319
<v Speaker 2>and wetter than normal, So that would tell you the

87
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:58.400
<v Speaker 2>wet pattern that I'm talking about is coming back. However,

88
00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:04.039
<v Speaker 2>in contrast, one month outlook for all of September is

89
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:06.879
<v Speaker 2>warm and drier than normal, So that would tell me

90
00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:10.199
<v Speaker 2>that the second half of September might be a little

91
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:12.039
<v Speaker 2>warmer and drier than the start of the month, right,

92
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:12.919
<v Speaker 2>equalized things.

93
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:16.079
<v Speaker 1>That's why I'm not getting excited about this nice cold break,

94
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:18.000
<v Speaker 1>because I know they're gonna have another couple of weeks

95
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:19.959
<v Speaker 1>before I can put on my winter clothes away. Here's

96
00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:23.600
<v Speaker 1>the question for you, what is and causes a haboob

97
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:27.480
<v Speaker 1>storm that's appearing in Arizona. I spoke with my niece

98
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:29.959
<v Speaker 1>in Phoenix and they ran a power off and on

99
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:34.199
<v Speaker 1>for like thirty six hours because of the haboob yep.

100
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:38.279
<v Speaker 2>So it's the same thing we see here. You basically

101
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:42.319
<v Speaker 2>have these powering thunderstorms in the line, and the thunderstorms

102
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:46.279
<v Speaker 2>are collapsing because of the dry climate, and that collapsing

103
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:49.399
<v Speaker 2>causes an outflow. We talk about that here all the time,

104
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:52.000
<v Speaker 2>a gush of wind. But it is so powerful, it

105
00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:54.639
<v Speaker 2>is so linear, and because it's the desert and you

106
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:57.480
<v Speaker 2>have all this dust on the ground. Right, you don't

107
00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:02.680
<v Speaker 2>have education like we do here. You basically that dusty

108
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:06.839
<v Speaker 2>outflow boundary from the collapsing thunderstorms is just like this giant,

109
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:09.560
<v Speaker 2>roaring wind that's picking up all this dust and you

110
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:12.839
<v Speaker 2>get this huge rolling dust cloud, which can be nasty

111
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:18.240
<v Speaker 2>visibility drops. You know, it gets into your cars systems,

112
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:20.680
<v Speaker 2>It gets into eighteen units if your windows are open.

113
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:23.399
<v Speaker 2>God bless you. You got a mess. Yeah, So that's

114
00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:25.959
<v Speaker 2>what they call the same thing. We get them here.

115
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:29.160
<v Speaker 2>We just don't get that dry component and the dusty component.

116
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:31.360
<v Speaker 2>We just get the blast of wind sometimes and sometimes

117
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:33.600
<v Speaker 2>we do get them. We've seen them and track them

118
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:36.240
<v Speaker 2>on satellite in southeast Colorado where it's a little dry

119
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:37.639
<v Speaker 2>and there's a little more dust to kickup.

120
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:41.839
<v Speaker 1>This texterra said Mandy Denver is getting Seattle weather? Why

121
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:43.519
<v Speaker 1>is Seattle getting Denver weather?

122
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:44.759
<v Speaker 3>How we flipped?

123
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:46.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm not paying attention to what's going on in Seattle.

124
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:47.319
<v Speaker 3>What's happening there?

125
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:49.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't know. I am not paying attention to

126
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:52.879
<v Speaker 2>it either. So I'll take the Texters that they're probably

127
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:55.480
<v Speaker 2>warm and dry. You know, we have a persistent flow

128
00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:56.879
<v Speaker 2>up and out of the south and west. It's a

129
00:05:56.920 --> 00:05:59.360
<v Speaker 2>monsoon flow. We're tapping in the moisture from the dull.

130
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:02.879
<v Speaker 2>All this moisture feeding in, and we've got what we

131
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:06.600
<v Speaker 2>call troughts, little debted waves, little stretched out areas of

132
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:09.079
<v Speaker 2>low pressure. Instead of being a center of circulation that's

133
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:11.560
<v Speaker 2>a little more elongated. And they're coming up and over

134
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:14.319
<v Speaker 2>the mountains almost on the daily routine, and that's helping

135
00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:17.000
<v Speaker 2>to lift the moisture and get the showers and thunderstorms going.

136
00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:19.399
<v Speaker 2>Most of it has been showers, as you've seen, because

137
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:21.839
<v Speaker 2>once the storms come off the mountains, they come down

138
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:25.000
<v Speaker 2>to this cool, calmer environment. But our humidity levels are

139
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:27.439
<v Speaker 2>due points, which we talk about all the time, due points.

140
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:29.600
<v Speaker 2>Our due points are running in the upper fifties. So

141
00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:32.079
<v Speaker 2>by Colorado standards, this has been human.

142
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:34.759
<v Speaker 3>It's been soupy. Yeah, soupy.

143
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:37.000
<v Speaker 2>You step out of the shower here, normally you expect

144
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:39.360
<v Speaker 2>to dry off quickly. You've done that the last few days.

145
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:40.879
<v Speaker 2>You know, you step out and you're like, I'm sweating

146
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:41.600
<v Speaker 2>my right, what's going on?

147
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:44.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? This texter said Mandy. We're starting to grow web

148
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:47.079
<v Speaker 1>feed out here in Lineman. It's glorious. So not everybody's

149
00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:49.720
<v Speaker 1>upset about that. And lastly, I think it's very important

150
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:52.240
<v Speaker 1>that we give the wine Yogi credit for willing this

151
00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:55.720
<v Speaker 1>weather into existence. She wore her fall clothes last week

152
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:57.680
<v Speaker 1>when she was on the show and said she was

153
00:06:57.720 --> 00:07:00.560
<v Speaker 1>going to personally will some fall weather our way.

154
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:04.319
<v Speaker 3>So well done. Now let me ask you the question.

155
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:05.600
<v Speaker 3>Oh go ahead.

156
00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:08.519
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna say that's great, and if that worked

157
00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:10.360
<v Speaker 2>for her, great, But if she starts telling you she's

158
00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:12.920
<v Speaker 2>wearing winter clothing, everybody prepares.

159
00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:13.680
<v Speaker 3>There you go.

160
00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:17.399
<v Speaker 1>Dave Fraser, Fox thirty one's chief meteorologists, I appreciate.

161
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:20.319
<v Speaker 3>Oh real quick, this one more question just popped up.

162
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:24.079
<v Speaker 1>Can you ask Dave where precisely at the Denver Airport

163
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:25.519
<v Speaker 1>is the temperature sensor?

164
00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:27.959
<v Speaker 3>Is it like the one in Arizona, which is.

165
00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:31.720
<v Speaker 1>The runway wins of the right direction the jet exhaust

166
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:34.560
<v Speaker 1>actually elevates the temperatures that from Illinois.

167
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:35.000
<v Speaker 3>Farm boy.

168
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:37.800
<v Speaker 2>You know, those are things that have they've discussed. I

169
00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:41.079
<v Speaker 2>won't get into the details of it. You can actually google.

170
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:43.879
<v Speaker 2>I actually did a segment on this talking about where

171
00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:46.000
<v Speaker 2>it is and what the same right looks like in

172
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:49.639
<v Speaker 2>the whole nine yards, and you can google it. It

173
00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:52.480
<v Speaker 2>will give you the latitude longitude and you can actually

174
00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:55.040
<v Speaker 2>zoom right down. It is east of the airport and

175
00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:57.600
<v Speaker 2>east of the utility road in an open field and

176
00:07:57.680 --> 00:07:59.680
<v Speaker 2>you can find it. So I would suggest that that

177
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:01.839
<v Speaker 2>list or just go ahead and do that, because for

178
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:03.920
<v Speaker 2>me to try and give you a specific location, it's

179
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:06.079
<v Speaker 2>easy to find. You'll see it's with a group of

180
00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:07.680
<v Speaker 2>other sensors out there, right.

181
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:10.360
<v Speaker 3>Oh, that's good news. Thank you. Dave Frasier.

182
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:13.519
<v Speaker 2>Hey, have a great Labor Day weekend. Talk to you.

183
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:14.920
<v Speaker 3>So you too, Man, you too.
