Speaker 1: Our favorite meteorologists on the show, that is Dave Frasier.
Speaker 2: Dave, where's the snow.
Speaker 3: It's around, but it's not gonna do much in most
Speaker 3: areas as we expected. Yeah no, but I do like
Speaker 3: your your overview of it. It is our first chance
Speaker 3: to see snow. And while it's been a flake here
Speaker 3: and a flake there, the overall storm system we knew
Speaker 3: wouldn't be moisture rich, and the chance of grassy accumulation
Speaker 3: is still there. Don't count it out. We're not done yet.
Speaker 3: There's still gonna be one last push early this evening
Speaker 3: and that could coat the grass in a few areas
Speaker 3: across parts of the metro and even down here on
Speaker 3: the south side of the town. So we're not done yet.
Speaker 3: But overall, this just was never a great storm system.
Speaker 3: And officially, I don't think we're going to get our
Speaker 3: first snow at the airport. You need a tenth of
Speaker 3: an inch and I get that. I just got the change.
Speaker 1: Yeah, earlier today I had like, oh, there's a flake.
Speaker 1: Oh look, there's a flake. Oh there's a plake. You
Speaker 1: know what's funny. I saw images this morning. Apparently Hawaii
Speaker 1: got a big, old fat snowstorm.
Speaker 2: This morning.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, that's typical up on the mountains, way
Speaker 3: up they can get clipped. That's cold enough up there
Speaker 3: that they can get clipped with a push of moisture
Speaker 3: and get some snow. So go figure, right, yeah, exactly
Speaker 3: were measurable here. But listen, the mountains are doing okay
Speaker 3: with this. Not a great storm for them either. The
Speaker 3: latest reports I saw about an hour and a half ago,
Speaker 3: there's some two and three inches up there. No copper
Speaker 3: got two inches, so again it's not robust. The good
Speaker 3: news is it hasn't caused travel problems. We knew the
Speaker 3: roads down here would stay wet just given how warm
Speaker 3: and dry we've been. It is a little bit of
Speaker 3: good moisture. It's just not a lot. And I do
Speaker 3: like the timing. We get it in on a weather Wednesday,
Speaker 3: we get it out in time for Halloween, so it's good.
Speaker 3: You guys. You guys get your sweater weathers.
Speaker 2: I have on a sweater right now. I'm wearing my sweater. Yes,
Speaker 2: I'm excited about that.
Speaker 3: Your cuddle cast is at a seven for tonight.
Speaker 1: There you go, there, you So what are we looking
Speaker 1: out for the next week? Because I mean, is this
Speaker 1: are we going to be able to look at this
Speaker 1: as the thing that sort of pushed us into late fall,
Speaker 1: early winter where we're going to start stop seeing those
Speaker 1: temperatures near eighty.
Speaker 3: Yes, I do believe that we think this is the
Speaker 3: straw that broke the camel's back when it comes to
Speaker 3: the warm temperatures. So as I look at the forecast
Speaker 3: moving forward, we'll quickly get back to sixty sixty five,
Speaker 3: could even get close to sixty tomorrow on Thursday sixty five.
Speaker 3: That puts us about five degrees above average, which right
Speaker 3: now is about fifty nine sixty degrees, so not terribly warm.
Speaker 3: And then we have another chance to get back down
Speaker 3: into the forties and fifties with another shot of snow
Speaker 3: coming Monday, Monday night and into Tuesday. So another one
Speaker 3: of these could be a mix, could be some grassy
Speaker 3: accumulation here and there, moistures there, and of course the
Speaker 3: overnight lows. We're going to get hammered tonight. Our message
Speaker 3: with our pinpoint whether alert day for today, was not
Speaker 3: really about the day. Yeah, it's gray, it's cloudy, it's cool,
Speaker 3: it's wet, there's rain, there's snow, limited accumulation. It's about
Speaker 3: tonight's low. So if you have not, like Mandy and
Speaker 3: a Rod have already done, and I did this weekend,
Speaker 3: disconnected your hoses, any plant you want to save have
Speaker 3: to be covered or brought in, and that external type
Speaker 3: TU sprinkle system has to be drained at minimum, if
Speaker 3: not blow your sprinklers out. Kind of late game to
Speaker 3: do that, But you've got until sundown tonight because we're
Speaker 3: going down about twenty five degrees.
Speaker 1: I even put some more mulch on one of my
Speaker 1: flower beds this weekend. I was on the ball ready
Speaker 1: for some snow, and now we're.
Speaker 2: Not getting it.
Speaker 1: What is the next Here's my fear, right because I
Speaker 1: am leaving to go on the next Mandy Connell Adventure
Speaker 1: to sail down the Danube and go to Christmas markets
Speaker 1: on November thirtieth, twenty ninth, thirtieth, I can't remember which
Speaker 1: date right now.
Speaker 2: But are we going to.
Speaker 1: End up with some kind of like horrible Thanksgiving snarling snowstorm.
Speaker 2: That's going to create havoc across the country?
Speaker 1: What does the what does the decently far away out
Speaker 1: look look like?
Speaker 3: First of all, I'm extremely jealous that you're going on
Speaker 3: that trip. My life and I looked at doing that
Speaker 3: trip this fall, exactly that same trip, but for certain
Speaker 3: reasons we couldn't make it work. We're going to look
Speaker 3: at it to maybe do a next fall.
Speaker 1: So, well, how it is you We got to talk
Speaker 1: about which cruise lines and all that stuff, because I
Speaker 1: got a lot of information for you. If you've not
Speaker 1: done river cruising, you want to talk to me first,
Speaker 1: so we'll do that. But what are we looking at?
Speaker 1: I mean, do you see anything in the next three weeks?
Speaker 1: And I know that we're not talking about in three
Speaker 1: weeks this is going to happen, but like anything brewing
Speaker 1: out there, so.
Speaker 3: As you know, I have confidence in our seven day forecast.
Speaker 3: I have a little bit of confidence out to ten
Speaker 3: days beyond that. No, I do think we have changed
Speaker 3: the pattern where we are going to be more seasonal
Speaker 3: when it comes to temperatures, and that we could start
Speaker 3: to see more shots of moisture like we're seeing today.
Speaker 3: I mentioned the one coming Monday, maybe on Tuesday. There
Speaker 3: could be one towards the end the next week. So
Speaker 3: I think we'll see subtleties in there. Could we get
Speaker 3: hit with something big the overall pattern, the Lamminia pattern
Speaker 3: that you and I have talked about here on weather
Speaker 3: Wednesdays for months, continues as we go through and into
Speaker 3: the weekend. There's no question. There's no question about that.
Speaker 3: So I'm sorry somebody's calling me. So there's no there's
Speaker 3: no change in that pattern. And generally what that means
Speaker 3: is the month of November will be warmer and drive
Speaker 3: to normal. However, let me say this. I always talk
Speaker 3: about how one day can change things. So for the
Speaker 3: last three weeks, we have been talking about how this October,
Speaker 3: with the warm temperatures we've had, could be the warmest
Speaker 3: October on record. To do that, we would need an
Speaker 3: even sixty degrees. We've been running at about sixty point
Speaker 3: five heading for that goal. However, I added today's numbers in,
Speaker 3: and I added tomorrow's twenty five and tomorrow's Bourcast eye,
Speaker 3: and it looks to me like we're going to average
Speaker 3: below fifty nine point two just because of two days.
Speaker 3: And it's the twenty five degree temperature that's going to
Speaker 3: average us down out of the number one spot. So
Speaker 3: we'll be the second warm of October. It's like grades
Speaker 3: when you were in school, right, I was just an a.
Speaker 2: I just told my daughter this.
Speaker 1: I was like you, and I show my daughter this
Speaker 1: on you on the little on the app that we
Speaker 1: have the show all the grades and look at this
Speaker 1: you've got aaaaaoh and then you didn't turn in an assignment.
Speaker 1: Oh and look what happened here grade? And it takes
Speaker 1: nine years to build it back up.
Speaker 3: To that a.
Speaker 1: You know, it's like exactly, it takes so little to
Speaker 1: throw everything into chaos.
Speaker 2: Well, that's I mean, that's not bad.
Speaker 3: No, no, it keeps us out of the record books.
Speaker 3: And for dryness, we're already on the list. We're at
Speaker 3: number eleven. We will not be drier than that. Obviously,
Speaker 3: we don't dry out. We've got what we've got. But
Speaker 3: if we can get one one hundred or two one
Speaker 3: hundreds of moisture at the airport, instead of being tied
Speaker 3: or number twelve dry octobers, we would drop to fifteen.
Speaker 3: So you can wow, how just a simple day. And
Speaker 3: that's why when we talk about those thirty day averages, Yes,
Speaker 3: the month could end up dryer and warmer than normal,
Speaker 3: but she doesn't tell you anything about the day to
Speaker 3: day weather. Hence what we're experiencing today.
Speaker 1: Well, I deputized all of my listeners as my junior
Speaker 1: weather reporters today to let them know where it's snowing.
Speaker 1: All we've got so far some gropple by Columbae. We've
Speaker 1: got some light snow on the northwest of Colorado Springs.
Speaker 1: We got a little snow flurries in Estes Park. But
Speaker 1: other than that, I'm not seeing anything on the text
Speaker 1: line indicating where there's going to be a bunch of weather.
Speaker 1: But you know what, at least we won't have a
Speaker 1: snorreled afternoon drive.
Speaker 3: Well, hang on, because I do want to let you go.
Speaker 3: There is snow out on the eastern Plain. So this
Speaker 3: storm that is going north of us, the timing was
Speaker 3: we would get some in the morning, there would be
Speaker 3: a lull in the afternoon until about three, and then
Speaker 3: we'll get one last push. So like I said earlier,
Speaker 3: don't count out that we're done yet. And this last
Speaker 3: push could be a couple of rodust showers, both rain
Speaker 3: and snow. And if you get under one of those
Speaker 3: snow showers, that's where we could get the grassy cumulation.
Speaker 3: Still think the roads will just be wet, But anytime
Speaker 3: the roads have rain or wet as on them, it
Speaker 3: tends to small traffic a little bit in some spots.
Speaker 3: So again that push is going to come around the
Speaker 3: five o'clock hour for the evening commute, but should start
Speaker 3: the pushing east by seven, and by nine o'clock we're
Speaker 3: done and out of it.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: That is our weather. It's gray outside. I did get
Speaker 1: this from the air right now, It said Mandy, I
Speaker 1: work at the airport. Have not seen any snow, and
Speaker 1: now I can see blue skies between the clouds.
Speaker 3: Yep, yep. There is some punching up. There is some
Speaker 3: dry air. We dealt with that all last night. Again,
Speaker 3: it just has to do with this storm being north
Speaker 3: of us. We're in the wrong position for this storm.
Speaker 3: But as it lifts out the back side of it
Speaker 3: is going to whip in one last push. So those
Speaker 3: great those holes in the clouds where you might be
Speaker 3: seeing some sunshine, if you're hearing us along the front range,
Speaker 3: those will fill back in. There'll be one last push
Speaker 3: and then we'll be done with it. Unfortunately, then the
Speaker 3: sky's clear and here comes the crashing temperatures into the twenties.
Speaker 1: You know what, I'm okay with that. I'm ready for
Speaker 1: sweater weather. I'm ready to build a fire at my
Speaker 1: house and sit by the fire and enjoy my enjoy winter.
Speaker 2: I'm ready. It's October. It's time, Dave Frasier, it's time.
Speaker 3: Yep, well before we go, I know you've tied on time.
Speaker 3: But for Halloween, the sun will come out after some
Speaker 3: morning clouds will be near sixty and for tricker treaters
Speaker 3: it looks great. We should be around fifty two at
Speaker 3: five o'clock and about forty two by the time you
Speaker 3: get to eight or nine, So I'm not bad to
Speaker 3: the kids, all right.
Speaker 2: Dave Fraser, thank you so much. We'll talk to you
Speaker 2: next week, my friend.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 2: See all right, So that is Dave Fraser. Flurries in
Speaker 2: ski town. That's all we've got so far.
