WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.799
<v Speaker 1>Box thirty one and Chief meteorologist Dave Frasier. Dave, we're

2
00:00:03.799 --> 00:00:05.360
<v Speaker 1>going to talk about the weather in just a second,

3
00:00:05.360 --> 00:00:08.199
<v Speaker 1>but I know you worked in Cincinnati, so I have

4
00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:10.599
<v Speaker 1>got to share this horrifying story with you before we

5
00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:11.240
<v Speaker 1>go any further.

6
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:12.080
<v Speaker 2>Are you ready?

7
00:00:12.439 --> 00:00:12.560
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

8
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:13.119
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely?

9
00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:13.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

10
00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:17.079
<v Speaker 1>Being Cincinnati where you live there, you know about Greater's

11
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:19.800
<v Speaker 1>ice Cream of course because they're everywhere if through Ohio.

12
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:23.640
<v Speaker 1>And you of course know about Skyline Chili, did you know?

13
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:25.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

14
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:28.960
<v Speaker 1>Met neither, but now there is a limited addition Greaters

15
00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:31.320
<v Speaker 1>Skyline Spice ice Cream.

16
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:33.079
<v Speaker 2>And it has Wayster crackers in it.

17
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:38.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'll pass that. I will pass.

18
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:39.960
<v Speaker 2>That's what I said.

19
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:43.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I've heard you over the years challenge a Rod

20
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:45.799
<v Speaker 3>to try things. I'll let Arod try that.

21
00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:48.759
<v Speaker 1>Well, they do say the ice cream really just tastes

22
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:51.399
<v Speaker 1>like cinnamon and nutmeg, which neither have a place in chili,

23
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:54.479
<v Speaker 1>but in ice cream. Maybe I don't know, but yeah

24
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:56.200
<v Speaker 1>that I saw A listener sent that to me and

25
00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:56.520
<v Speaker 1>I was.

26
00:00:56.439 --> 00:00:59.640
<v Speaker 2>Like, who anyway, So let's talk about this storm tomorrow.

27
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:02.439
<v Speaker 2>We look it at. What kind of storm is this?

28
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:03.439
<v Speaker 2>Where's it coming from?

29
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:07.519
<v Speaker 4>This is you know every winter season there are at

30
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:11.439
<v Speaker 4>least a minimum of two, maybe three storms that become very,

31
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:15.159
<v Speaker 4>very challenging from a standard from forecasting, and this is

32
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:15.680
<v Speaker 4>one of them.

33
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:18.719
<v Speaker 3>And the reason for that is because of the placement

34
00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:21.760
<v Speaker 3>of the storm in southern Colorado. Denver is just on

35
00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:25.760
<v Speaker 3>the northern fringe, and so any wabble in that northern

36
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:28.680
<v Speaker 3>line of snow makes a difference between who gets it

37
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:31.599
<v Speaker 3>and who doesn't, and there will be a harsh cut up.

38
00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:34.359
<v Speaker 3>I was just telling a rod this. Literally, on the

39
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:36.760
<v Speaker 3>south and east sides of the Metro, you can be

40
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:38.560
<v Speaker 3>driving and then all of a sudden, run into a

41
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:40.879
<v Speaker 3>couple inches of snow. You'll go from nothing to a

42
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:44.920
<v Speaker 3>couple inches. So that wobble factor is the biggest challenge

43
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:48.000
<v Speaker 3>we're dealing with right now. I'm sitting here scratching my

44
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:51.239
<v Speaker 3>head looking at it. I have stuff that goes the

45
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:53.719
<v Speaker 3>city of Denver might see some snow showers to the

46
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:56.840
<v Speaker 3>city of Denver gets nothing. I can see Castle Rock

47
00:01:56.920 --> 00:01:58.879
<v Speaker 3>maybe getting up to an inch, but I also have

48
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:01.760
<v Speaker 3>computer models to get castle Rock nothing. And then you

49
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:05.439
<v Speaker 3>drive east of Castle Rock towards Kyowa and there's four

50
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:09.120
<v Speaker 3>inches of snow. So I would just tell any of

51
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:13.560
<v Speaker 3>your listeners you know, if you live from Denver to

52
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:16.919
<v Speaker 3>say Aurora, you're probably going to see some snow. I

53
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:19.240
<v Speaker 3>don't know that your morning commuter is going to be impacted.

54
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:22.560
<v Speaker 3>I think the airport is on the extreme northern fringe

55
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:26.080
<v Speaker 3>of seeing some light snow showers with minimal to no accumulation.

56
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:28.680
<v Speaker 3>But as you go south and east of there. So

57
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:30.479
<v Speaker 3>I would tell you if you live in Castle Rock,

58
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:34.400
<v Speaker 3>if you live down south towards Parker driving through the

59
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:36.879
<v Speaker 3>gap on the south side of I twenty five, be

60
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:40.840
<v Speaker 3>prepared tomorrow morning. Think of Lincoln going east to Parker

61
00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:46.120
<v Speaker 3>RidgeGate Road, Hess Road. They could have snow on them

62
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:47.639
<v Speaker 3>and it could be a little slick in the morning.

63
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:51.319
<v Speaker 3>But there's also a chance that that snow line moves

64
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:53.360
<v Speaker 3>just east of there and you may have to go

65
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:55.800
<v Speaker 3>all the way out to Linemen to find snow. So

66
00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:58.080
<v Speaker 3>I would just say to people be prepared on the

67
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:01.639
<v Speaker 3>southeast side and watch the forecast. It is going to

68
00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:03.400
<v Speaker 3>change because of that wobble factor.

69
00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:05.919
<v Speaker 1>So what you're telling me is we got a chance,

70
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:07.719
<v Speaker 1>there's a chance.

71
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:11.680
<v Speaker 3>What's interesting is the chances go like we've got a

72
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:14.719
<v Speaker 3>twenty to thirty percent chance, a low chance that Denver,

73
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:17.719
<v Speaker 3>the city see snow, but that chance ramps up to

74
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:20.120
<v Speaker 3>eighty to one hundred percent as you go farther south

75
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:22.599
<v Speaker 3>and east, So it really is going to be about placement,

76
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:24.680
<v Speaker 3>and the center of this storm needs to be watched.

77
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:27.680
<v Speaker 3>A couple other things about it quickly. It's a southern storm,

78
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:30.840
<v Speaker 3>and it's a Pacific storm, which means it doesn't have

79
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:32.759
<v Speaker 3>a lot of cold air, so some of you may

80
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:34.960
<v Speaker 3>see a little bit of brain. And the overall impact

81
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:37.599
<v Speaker 3>of the roads is only going to be for several

82
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:39.560
<v Speaker 3>hours through the morning commute. After that, the sun's going

83
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:41.360
<v Speaker 3>to come out. We're going to be forty five degrees

84
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:43.080
<v Speaker 3>and anything that Paul's is going to melt.

85
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:44.639
<v Speaker 2>Okay, perfect, that's what I want to hear.

86
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:47.199
<v Speaker 1>We're going back to like the sixties next week, aren't we.

87
00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:51.759
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I've got as soon as this storm moves out tomorrow,

88
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:56.759
<v Speaker 5>I'm going fifty seven on Friday, fifty nine Saturday, sixty,

89
00:03:56.919 --> 00:04:00.439
<v Speaker 5>sixty two on Sunday, and still there, sixty on Monday,

90
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:02.159
<v Speaker 5>and then night Tuesday.

91
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:05.159
<v Speaker 3>Wednesday, we'll get a little weak cold front that kind

92
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:07.400
<v Speaker 3>of backs in and we'll trim the temperatures back into

93
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:11.360
<v Speaker 3>the forties, which is which is seasonal and listen, we're

94
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:12.919
<v Speaker 3>doing great. I don't know if I caught up with

95
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:14.800
<v Speaker 3>you last time, because we had the snow over this

96
00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:17.759
<v Speaker 3>past weekend. We've got thirteen point three inches of snow.

97
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:21.759
<v Speaker 3>We are the fourteenth snowiest January on record, also coming

98
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:24.680
<v Speaker 3>in as the fifteenth coldest. And if you remember, back

99
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:27.000
<v Speaker 3>in December we talked about the long range outlook, what

100
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:32.040
<v Speaker 3>was it? Dry and water? Yeah? Why didn't happen? Did

101
00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:32.759
<v Speaker 3>not happen?

102
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:36.279
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Dave, I know people like to make fun

103
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:38.959
<v Speaker 1>of meteorologists, like you're wrong half the time or whatever,

104
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:42.040
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, do you ever just like kind of

105
00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:45.120
<v Speaker 1>want to just slap your forehead and go, okay, you know, okay, God,

106
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:45.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm humbled.

107
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:46.519
<v Speaker 2>You know, I get it.

108
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:49.439
<v Speaker 1>We're just guessing here because it's got to be super

109
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:50.879
<v Speaker 1>frustrating doing what you do.

110
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:54.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, absolutely, But it comes with the territory. So

111
00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:56.199
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you've got to have a thick skin, and

112
00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:58.759
<v Speaker 3>you have to if you're going to be a meteor relics,

113
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:01.000
<v Speaker 3>you have to accept the fact that you will be

114
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:05.519
<v Speaker 3>wrong just the way things are. And we use computers

115
00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:08.600
<v Speaker 3>as guidance. We don't hang our hat on one computer model.

116
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:10.759
<v Speaker 3>We analyze all of them and try and find a

117
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:13.120
<v Speaker 3>sweet spot, which is what I'm doing today, and it

118
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:16.399
<v Speaker 3>can be frustrating. Some are easy, some are a little

119
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:19.600
<v Speaker 3>more challenging, and some are downright top and you know,

120
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:21.879
<v Speaker 3>sometimes you hit the putt and it comes up and

121
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:24.600
<v Speaker 3>look short. But you know what, I think, as long

122
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:28.480
<v Speaker 3>as we message, just as I did the cautionary tale

123
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:30.560
<v Speaker 3>of Hey, if you live south and east of Denver,

124
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:32.959
<v Speaker 3>be prepared for some slick roads in the morning. If

125
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:35.079
<v Speaker 3>you wake up and the roads on flick, good for you,

126
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:36.720
<v Speaker 3>head off to work and you got no problems.

127
00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:39.600
<v Speaker 1>I got a weather It's not a weather question, but

128
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:42.800
<v Speaker 1>it's a TV weather question, Dave. What are the black

129
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:45.439
<v Speaker 1>controllers the news anchors have in their hands?

130
00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:50.240
<v Speaker 3>So we recently at the start of the new year,

131
00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:54.160
<v Speaker 3>we used to have a teleprompter operators, somebody that would

132
00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:57.720
<v Speaker 3>sit and control the rolling scripts, the stories that the

133
00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:01.360
<v Speaker 3>anchors read, and the teleprompter. We have moved away from

134
00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:03.759
<v Speaker 3>that to the anchors and the reporters who are in

135
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:07.680
<v Speaker 3>studio controlling it themselves. So the black controller you're seeing

136
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:11.560
<v Speaker 3>is them controlling it. Eventually what's going to happen? And

137
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:15.519
<v Speaker 3>this is kind of cool. The system is training itself

138
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:19.560
<v Speaker 3>so that AI can actually operate it based on the

139
00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:23.839
<v Speaker 3>cadence of the person reading. Wow, those black boxes will

140
00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:26.720
<v Speaker 3>go away and the anchor will just sit and read

141
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:30.720
<v Speaker 3>and an AI component will run the teleprompter for them

142
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:33.959
<v Speaker 3>based on their voice and their cadence and reading. So

143
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:37.120
<v Speaker 3>that's pretty cool. AI is. I heard you talking about

144
00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:38.839
<v Speaker 3>it the other day, trying to get into it, and

145
00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:41.839
<v Speaker 3>I've kind of peeked at it a little bit. I'm amazed.

146
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:45.240
<v Speaker 3>I'm a little intimidated. I don't know what it does. Yeah,

147
00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:47.639
<v Speaker 3>but from example, I have.

148
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:50.959
<v Speaker 1>Friends that have already adopted like ten or twelve different

149
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:54.680
<v Speaker 1>AI platforms, and they're doing these incredible things, and.

150
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:57.040
<v Speaker 2>I feel like a ludite over here with AI. I'm like,

151
00:06:57.560 --> 00:06:59.360
<v Speaker 2>what am I doing? I don't know. I think I

152
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:02.240
<v Speaker 2>can make a right picture. I mean, it's like it's

153
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:03.920
<v Speaker 2>I feel so left behind right now.

154
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:08.120
<v Speaker 3>It's funny because I asked Jeremy Hubbard. I said, hey, Jeremy,

155
00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:10.319
<v Speaker 3>show me how this works. I don't know what it

156
00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:12.800
<v Speaker 3>is and everything. So he went in and funny he

157
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:15.360
<v Speaker 3>put my name in and he said he asked chat

158
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:17.439
<v Speaker 3>GPT I think it was, and he said, write a

159
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:19.800
<v Speaker 3>resignation letter, which if that was funny, he says, write

160
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:22.720
<v Speaker 3>a resignation letter for Dave Fraser. And within like eight seconds,

161
00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:25.079
<v Speaker 3>it wrote this letter and it went obviously, it scanned

162
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:27.639
<v Speaker 3>in the internet and it found out where I worked,

163
00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:29.519
<v Speaker 3>and it mentioned Fox thirty one. I talked about my

164
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:32.439
<v Speaker 3>years in town. I was blown away. And then Jeremy,

165
00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:35.839
<v Speaker 3>he says, watch this. He asked it to make a

166
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:40.120
<v Speaker 3>picture of a fifty year old weather man, and it

167
00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:43.399
<v Speaker 3>came back with this picture. There was like this whirling

168
00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:46.000
<v Speaker 3>tornado and this guy's in this tight blue suit. His

169
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:48.439
<v Speaker 3>hair's all fried out, like you look like you got

170
00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:51.240
<v Speaker 3>hit by electricity. And then Jeremy took a picture and

171
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:53.600
<v Speaker 3>said add Dave space into it, and the picture printed

172
00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:57.720
<v Speaker 3>out fifteen seconds. Is amazing. I couldn't believe it. I

173
00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:01.199
<v Speaker 3>sat there with my jaw down, going wow. And it's

174
00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:04.319
<v Speaker 3>crazy because it looks just like me. But you know,

175
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:07.079
<v Speaker 3>it's a little yeah, the picture, you know what, I'll

176
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:08.040
<v Speaker 3>text it to a ride.

177
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:09.920
<v Speaker 2>Please do, I'll put it on the blog.

178
00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:11.680
<v Speaker 1>I'll put it on the blog with your permission so

179
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:14.000
<v Speaker 1>people can see it. All right, Dave Frazier, I've got

180
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:16.160
<v Speaker 1>one more quick question for you. And it might not

181
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:17.839
<v Speaker 1>be quick, but way it has to because we're amost

182
00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:20.600
<v Speaker 1>out of time. Ask if their entire crew gets together

183
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:22.959
<v Speaker 1>and decides on what the forecast will be, or if

184
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:24.959
<v Speaker 1>they each do their own individual forecast.

185
00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:29.560
<v Speaker 3>No, it has always then my uh, everybody who has

186
00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:31.560
<v Speaker 3>interviewed with me, who becomes a part of our team

187
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:34.600
<v Speaker 3>knows I am one hundred percent team. There's no reason

188
00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:36.759
<v Speaker 3>to be using one brain when we have six brains.

189
00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:39.960
<v Speaker 3>Everybody can analyze. Some people might pick up on different things.

190
00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:42.639
<v Speaker 3>Everybody has a different asset that they bring to the table,

191
00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:45.440
<v Speaker 3>and we communicate. So this afternoon when I go to work,

192
00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:48.519
<v Speaker 3>Liz and Alden and I will scrutinize the forecast and

193
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:50.679
<v Speaker 3>we will talk about it and come to a opinion,

194
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:52.879
<v Speaker 3>and that if we have to, we will communicate on

195
00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:55.759
<v Speaker 3>a techt spread that the entire team shares to let

196
00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:58.639
<v Speaker 3>the morning crew know what we decided about snowfall totals,

197
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:01.600
<v Speaker 3>so that we can maintain a single message from the

198
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:05.080
<v Speaker 3>entire Pinpoint Weather team to anybody watching us on either

199
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:07.200
<v Speaker 3>of our stations or any platform we ship.

200
00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:09.000
<v Speaker 2>All right, Dave Fraser, a pleasure.

201
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:11.279
<v Speaker 1>As always, We'll talk to you next week after our little.

202
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:13.679
<v Speaker 1>It'll be delightful next week and I'll be like, Dave,

203
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:15.240
<v Speaker 1>thanks for bringing in the nice weather, and you can

204
00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:16.120
<v Speaker 1>totally take credit.

205
00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:19.120
<v Speaker 3>Ay a little preview of spring. Get ready for it?

206
00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:21.720
<v Speaker 2>There you go, all right, that's Dave Fraser, Box thirty one,
