Speaker 1: It's time to bring our favorite meteorologists from box thirty
Speaker 1: one and everywhere else. Dave Frasier, Hello, my friend, Hey.
Speaker 2: How are you those self self cleaning toilets? I wish
Speaker 2: they could make them affordable for the house, don't you?
Speaker 1: Ah, you know what, that would be fantastic, But you
Speaker 1: need for this one. It actually rotates the toilets, so
Speaker 1: you have two toilets in each bathroom, and while one
Speaker 1: of them is being used, the other one is behind
Speaker 1: a wall being completely cleaned.
Speaker 3: It's amazing, so good.
Speaker 1: Love it, Yeah, love it a fantastic Can we just
Speaker 1: have more of this morning's weather, because that's glorious?
Speaker 3: Dave, what are we looking at here?
Speaker 2: Yeah? More of the same, honestly, so question asked, and
Speaker 2: yes we can deliver. I had a nice little brief
Speaker 2: shower early this morning, a little bit of cloud cover.
Speaker 2: It didn't amount to much and settled the dust on
Speaker 2: the deck and that was it. I think tomorrow kind
Speaker 2: of brings the same thing where we're talking about low
Speaker 2: range chances, but early and late. So tomorrow morning kind
Speaker 2: of mostly cloudy, there could be some drizzle or a
Speaker 2: few showers. Early we'll pop some sunshine in the afternoon
Speaker 2: and that will trigger a few scattered showers and thunderstorms.
Speaker 2: What I like in the next few days is that
Speaker 2: these humidity levels are going to start to come up.
Speaker 2: We're going to tap into a little monsoon moisture, not
Speaker 2: a huge push, not widespread rain, but the storms instead
Speaker 2: of gusting the wind like they've done the last few days,
Speaker 2: as they've been evaporating and not really producing great rain.
Speaker 2: I think the next few days Thursday, Friday, and Saturday
Speaker 2: all have the chance to give us some nice wedding
Speaker 2: rain in a few areas. Again not widespread. Right.
Speaker 1: So I had a really interesting conversation last Sunday.
Speaker 3: I was at an event for my.
Speaker 1: Favorite realtor and I met a woman who had moved
Speaker 1: to the Springs two months ago, and I said, Oh,
Speaker 1: what do you think of the spring. She goes, Oh,
Speaker 1: it's really pretty, and she said, but God, it rains
Speaker 1: every day. And I was like, that's not normal, That's
Speaker 1: not how it normally.
Speaker 3: Is in the summer.
Speaker 1: So I said, the good news is everything is still green,
Speaker 1: Like we're not used to seeing this much green this
Speaker 1: late in the year, you know, So we're where are
Speaker 1: we on our rain totals for the year.
Speaker 3: I mean, where are we on our moisture? What do
Speaker 3: we look at that here we're.
Speaker 2: In good shape. I think August really was a leg
Speaker 2: up for us, as you know, is the third wetest
Speaker 2: August on record. Now again some people will argue, well,
Speaker 2: the airport got hit with the four plus ands. I
Speaker 2: think it was four point one three inches of rain.
Speaker 2: There were other areas that were not as beneficial when
Speaker 2: it came to the rain. But I think the pattern
Speaker 2: that we're seeing with rain chances coming in every few
Speaker 2: days and not prolonged dry stretches of hot temperatures has
Speaker 2: really helped. And the overnight lows at this time of
Speaker 2: the year, as you get laid into aug in September,
Speaker 2: you get those overnight loads, which really the plants, the vegetation,
Speaker 2: the natural grasses, your own lawn, they love that in
Speaker 2: the evenings, and so all of a sudden, if you're
Speaker 2: lawn sometime in after a warm July starts to look
Speaker 2: a little brown and a little bit like it's struggling,
Speaker 2: it may all of a sudden kick back in and
Speaker 2: you're mowing more now than you may have been six
Speaker 2: weeks ago because of those overnight lows. You've got to
Speaker 2: do in the morning sometimes. So I think the combination
Speaker 2: of that, staying away from long, dry, hot stretches, having
Speaker 2: the intervals of rain has really made the difference and
Speaker 2: kept things going green well.
Speaker 1: And I think it's kind of interesting because I don't remember,
Speaker 1: and I've only been here thirteen years.
Speaker 3: I don't remember a summer where.
Speaker 1: I feel like we've had that much consistency to your point, right,
Speaker 1: it feels like, you know, we've had maybe a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks where it was super hot, which is expected,
Speaker 1: but you know, every so often, just when I think
Speaker 1: to myself, do I need to water.
Speaker 3: My trees, right, we get rain.
Speaker 1: And I don't remember a summer where I haven't had
Speaker 1: to water my trees really at all.
Speaker 3: They've been really good this whole summer. So it's like
Speaker 3: I've there's been a few.
Speaker 2: In our past. Twenty twenty during COVID was a very
Speaker 2: hot summer week, seventy three days at ninety degrees or higher.
Speaker 2: There were some at one hundred and five. That was
Speaker 2: the most ninety degree days we had seen in the summer.
Speaker 2: I think it was my than seventy five days in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty, and then the hottest summer on record was
Speaker 2: twenty twelve. For those who were here then you would
Speaker 2: have been so abroughly about that timeframe. That was a
Speaker 2: really hot summer we had. We had not only twenty
Speaker 2: four days consecutively at ninety degrees or higher, but in
Speaker 2: that stretch we had thirteen days at one hundred plus degrees.
Speaker 2: So that was a really hot, baking summer and things
Speaker 2: were not looking good though summers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, hopefully what is this spell?
Speaker 1: Okay, first of all, we should find out what the
Speaker 1: Farmer's Almanac said this summer was going to be like,
Speaker 1: and then we'll go back, what is this really forte
Speaker 1: or fortel? Does it say anything about what we're going
Speaker 1: to be expecting for fall, for early winter?
Speaker 2: You know it doesn't. It really doesn't. The seasonal average
Speaker 2: stuff that I look at I always pull up before
Speaker 2: I get on with you, because I know sometimes viewers
Speaker 2: want to know. So we're still stuck in this pattern
Speaker 2: with the outlooked for the month of September and we're
Speaker 2: ten days in was for it to be warm and dry,
Speaker 2: warmer than normal and drier than normal. That can be
Speaker 2: a half a degree, It can be a couple of
Speaker 2: extra rain drops or a few less rain drops. It
Speaker 2: doesn't mean it's going to be record setting by any mean.
Speaker 2: But the eighth to fourteen day outlooks so the next
Speaker 2: seven days we've got rain chances Thursday, Frivay, Saturday a break,
Speaker 2: and then those rain chances come back starting on Wednesday
Speaker 2: of next week. And the outlook from the seventeenth to
Speaker 2: the twenty third, which would be the next seven day,
Speaker 2: is a below normal and above normal for moisture, and
Speaker 2: quite a bit above normal for moisture. So if the
Speaker 2: thirty day outlook is going to come true, then we've
Speaker 2: got to go completely dry after the twenty third, and
Speaker 2: I just don't see that. And what we start to
Speaker 2: see in the computer models is we start to look
Speaker 2: into the models and we run them forward in time,
Speaker 2: and all the various models that we look at, and
Speaker 2: you start to see hints of snow up over the peaks.
Speaker 2: That's a sign that we're tapping into colder air locks.
Speaker 2: We're not there yet, we haven't shut off warm temperatures.
Speaker 2: But when we start to see computer models kicking out,
Speaker 2: like I think it's next Wednesday, I can see there
Speaker 2: being possibly accumulating snow on the peaks, not just the
Speaker 2: dust name I'm not talking to see, but there could be,
Speaker 2: because we're looking to be a little wetter towards the
Speaker 2: end of next week or the middle too, end of
Speaker 2: next week.
Speaker 1: All right, I have a couple questions from the text line,
Speaker 1: sure you, David. One of them is already fallen off
Speaker 1: the text line, so I'm just gonna have to do.
Speaker 3: It for memory.
Speaker 1: And it essentially was, Hey, Dave, why are we now
Speaker 1: calling the forecast the future cast is forecast?
Speaker 2: Not enough, We've always called future cast future cast. It's
Speaker 2: been that way to my memory for twenty years. So
Speaker 2: the forecast is the forecast, the seven day forecast, the
Speaker 2: day park forecast, what you should expect tonight and tomorrow.
Speaker 2: But the future cast is the computer animation that we
Speaker 2: run for the next twenty four hours, pinpointing exactly where
Speaker 2: storms and snow and rain might be, and we stop
Speaker 2: at intervals of time to be able to say, hey,
Speaker 2: tomorrow morning at seven am, there might be a brief
Speaker 2: shower at new here's the sunshine at five o'clock tomorrow.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's just a naming mechanism that we use
Speaker 2: for that one product. But everything falls into the umbrella
Speaker 2: of a forecast.
Speaker 3: Okay, so really it's just a marketing thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just it's future cat. It's basically a computer
Speaker 2: model that we run out. Sometimes we run the same
Speaker 2: one day after day after day. Sometimes we'll change it
Speaker 2: to a different model to give people a perspective. It's
Speaker 2: just a tool for us to be able to say, hey,
Speaker 2: here's what you should expect tomorrow, the future to look like.
Speaker 1: Okay, so this texture said, please tell Dave I miss
Speaker 1: him since we moved out of state. He was the
Speaker 1: best this texter, says Mandy. Please ask Dave if the
Speaker 1: weatherboard is a green screen or a bunch of monitors
Speaker 1: acting in concert.
Speaker 3: Isn't it both?
Speaker 2: It is both? And to that first view er, sorry
Speaker 2: you moved out of state, and thank you for the compliments. Yes,
Speaker 2: it's both. It's both. I didn't want to let that
Speaker 2: one go by it men. Yeah, I know, yeah, it's both.
Speaker 2: You know, the technology has changed in the last five
Speaker 2: to eight years. We've had sets. I think we've had
Speaker 2: two sets now, no, potentially, you know, we've had three
Speaker 2: sets in about eight years. And the technology, the large
Speaker 2: computers we use, you'll see them online and everywhere those
Speaker 2: large monitors we use are actually panels that when they
Speaker 2: can snap in and out, and when they're all snapped
Speaker 2: in together, they look like one giant TV. So we
Speaker 2: use both. The monitors are cool because you know, they're
Speaker 2: just these big things and everything's displayed and larger than
Speaker 2: life and we can stand in front of them. I
Speaker 2: still enjoy the green screen because the green screen allows
Speaker 2: us to be interactive. We have a capability with our
Speaker 2: weather graphics computers to be interactive. And what I mean
Speaker 2: by that is like, if I wanted to, I could
Speaker 2: touch on things and move them around with my finger.
Speaker 2: You can't do that on the monitor wall. So during
Speaker 2: severe weather, I like to be in the chromat because
Speaker 2: I can stay there and I can manipulate the radar
Speaker 2: with my finger and the tools that I have right there,
Speaker 2: I don't have to leave and go anywhere, or on
Speaker 2: the monitor wall you can't do that. But the monitor
Speaker 2: wall are great presentations and they're certainly the way of
Speaker 2: that everybody's doing things these days.
Speaker 1: And the only problem with both of these is that
Speaker 1: you can no longer wear your favorite color, which is green,
Speaker 1: because you will just blend in with the rest of it.
Speaker 3: Dave Frasier.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I appreciate you.
Speaker 3: We'll talk to you again next week, my friend.
Speaker 2: Enjoy the next few days and have a great weekend.
Speaker 2: We sure will.
Speaker 3: That is weather Wednesday,
