WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:04.400 The best meteorologist I know, well, at least the one 2 00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:06.000 on the phone with me right now. I do know 3 00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:07.960 more than one meteorologist. And as I said that, I 4 00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:09.880 was like, oh my gosh, what if they hear me 5 00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:11.039 and I hurt their feelings. 6 00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:14.919 But you're my favorite day. I'll say it. Bye. 7 00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:16.000 How are you? 8 00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:17.320 I'm good. I'm good. 9 00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:20.600 So everybody wants to know what the weather is going 10 00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:23.320 to be like for the fireworks on Friday, So let's 11 00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:24.359 jump right into that. 12 00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:25.079 First, shall we. 13 00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:29.280 Yep, I was anticipating that, like we talked about last week. 14 00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:31.839 I just got through with the updating our seven day 15 00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:35.880 forecast and looking into the details for the afternoon in 16 00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:39.359 the evening on Friday the fourth. And it's not bad news. 17 00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:42.560 It's not dry, but it is a low chance for 18 00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:45.479 scattered thunderstorms. And I have to underscore the words scattered. 19 00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:48.840 There's been scattered storms the last few days here and there. 20 00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:51.759 There's many people who could probably listening to you right 21 00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:53.560 now say I haven't seen the drop of rain, and 22 00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:56.119 that's going to be the case on Friday. I think 23 00:00:56.159 --> 00:00:59.799 there's storms tomorrow. Thursday come up a little later, normally 24 00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:02.240 we say two to six tomorrow. I think we may 25 00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:04.439 have to wait till four to seven to see a 26 00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:06.719 few scavenge songs, and then on Friday. I think it 27 00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:09.560 is a traditional two to six in the front range. 28 00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:11.840 So think from Cheyenne, Wyoming all the way to say 29 00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:14.480 Castle Rock, Monument Hill in Colorado Springs. They'll come off 30 00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:18.000 the foothills, they'll dot the landscape. They may have dusty winds, 31 00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:20.079 they'll have some lightning, you might get some rain out 32 00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:22.519 of them. Sometimes you get more wind than rain at 33 00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:24.879 this time of the year. And then they move east 34 00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:26.920 onto the planes. But even on the planes, it looks 35 00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:29.200 like the timing is they're out of the state by 36 00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:33.079 eight o'clock. So for evening fireworks displays, the professional ones, 37 00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:36.000 the community ones. I think we're looking good. I really do. 38 00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:38.920 But if you have outdoor plans on Friday, you're going 39 00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:40.519 to be near a body of water, or you're out 40 00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:43.239 camping or whatever, you just have to be listening, watching 41 00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:45.280 the skies, and if something heads your away, just give 42 00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:46.799 it a little time and wait about a half an 43 00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:49.040 hour after the last rumble of thunder and go back 44 00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:50.280 to whatever your festivities are. 45 00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:52.439 For the four of course, you can always download the 46 00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:54.519 pinfoint weather app that will give you lightning wars that 47 00:01:54.599 --> 00:01:55.560 they're in your area too. 48 00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:57.000 That's the easiest way to do that. 49 00:01:57.560 --> 00:01:59.359 I want to ask you something Aeron And we're talking 50 00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:00.799 about this in the begin of the show. I was 51 00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:03.439 talking to my personal trainer about this, and she's a 52 00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:05.840 native Colorado and she's, you know, in her sixties and 53 00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:08.879 she's been her entire life, and we were talking about 54 00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:13.199 this summer is a little bit weird for Colorado. And 55 00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:15.039 I'm not saying bad because I love it that things 56 00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:17.080 are not catching on fire, right like, I'm enjoying the 57 00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:19.520 heck out of that. But we've had a very it's 58 00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:23.840 been humid, you know, we've had regular rainstorms and thunderstorms 59 00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:27.680 and things like that. Is this a strange weather pattern 60 00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:29.599 for us? Am I misreading this? 61 00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:33.879 And no? Actually I think what it is is it's 62 00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:37.159 the short term memory of the last couple of maybe 63 00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:40.439 three to five summers of blazing heat and fire concerns. 64 00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:44.080 This actually made was very good to us. As you know, 65 00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:47.400 we were above normal for precipitation and the temperatures were 66 00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:50.560 just a little below. June has actually been sevenal I 67 00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:53.280 mean what we experienced in June, we had stretches of 68 00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:57.000 slightly below normal temperatures but nothing cold, and we had 69 00:02:57.039 --> 00:03:00.159 stretches of ninety plus degree heat. We got the ninety 70 00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:02.280 nine a couple of days in a row almost one 71 00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:05.479 hundred degrees. Didn't reach the century mark. But the month 72 00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:09.520 of June actually only ended up zero point eight degrees, 73 00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:12.560 eight tenths of a degree above normal. And it wasn't 74 00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:15.400 the highs it averaged us up that eight tenths of 75 00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:18.560 a degree. It was the morning loaves that pumped us 76 00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:20.919 up just beyond normal, which was kind of interesting. So 77 00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:23.039 even though we had those hot stretches, even though we 78 00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:26.719 had ninety eight, ninety nine, ninety seven degree days, it 79 00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:29.280 was the lows that pumped us just above average, and 80 00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:31.280 from moist we ended up a quarter of an inch ahead. 81 00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:33.960 The most we had was one point three inches. That 82 00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:35.840 was a soggy I'm trying to remember what day it was. 83 00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:38.439 It might have been a Saturday early in the month. 84 00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:41.240 So we're okay, and here we are. You know, last 85 00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:44.039 night we start the month of July. Yesterday we hit 86 00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:46.360 ninety three degrees. That's above average. Average right now is 87 00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:48.599 eighty nine, so it's four degrees above. But we have 88 00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:51.759 a thunderstorm come right up over the airport and it 89 00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:55.240 dumped three a third of an inch. So here we 90 00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:58.159 are the second wettest month, and on the first day 91 00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:00.879 on a month where we get two point one four 92 00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:03.080 inches of rain, we already got a third of an inch. 93 00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:04.400 So that was fantastic. 94 00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:07.639 To your point, though not everybody's getting the rain equally. 95 00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:10.400 What's what's fascinating. As I was driving home on Sunday 96 00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:15.080 night from Aurora down into Dougco and it was pouring 97 00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:18.040 in Aurora, I mean pouring, and then by the it's 98 00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:21.439 like I crossed the doug Coot line and nothing nothing, 99 00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:23.439 It all stops and it's like, oh, okay, well it's 100 00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:25.560 not raining here. So if people are not getting the 101 00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:27.920 kind of rain that we're talking about, you're just unlucky, 102 00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:30.959 I guess. But overall, I mean it's been it's been 103 00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:34.319 a net positive. But I don't recall it feels humid. 104 00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:38.519 Is our humidity higher? Am I just having residual humidity 105 00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:39.519 attacks from Japan? 106 00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:42.879 Yeah? No, Actually it's been right where we should be 107 00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:45.360 at this time of the year. We tend to kind 108 00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:47.839 of look out for the start of the monsoons, right, 109 00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:50.000 So you and I you and I've talked here on 110 00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:53.160 your show many many times about the humidity and due 111 00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:55.920 point and how humidity is a percentage of the moisture 112 00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:57.800 in the air, where due point is an actual measurement 113 00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:01.480 of the moisture. Generally, what we look for is due 114 00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:04.720 points that signal the start of the monsoon rains that 115 00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:07.639 are going to be in the mid fifties. Right we've 116 00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:10.040 been going back and forth from the upper forties to 117 00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:12.959 the low fifties. We've had a few days that got 118 00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:14.720 in the upper fifties, and those are the days that 119 00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:17.680 it may have felt more humid and yielded us good rain. 120 00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:20.360 But right now, our due points are just about where 121 00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:23.120 they should be. They're not high enough to be considered monsoon. 122 00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:27.480 They're not really significantly above what we would expect, but 123 00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:29.879 they're high enough that the heating of the day, and 124 00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:31.759 we're getting into the hottest part of the summer here 125 00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:36.000 in July, that we can trigger storms as the landscape 126 00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:38.839 heats up. So it's decent, but I wouldn't call it, 127 00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:41.800 you know, for Colorado. I mean, you know, fifty sixty 128 00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:47.439 percent humidity is like, oh my goodness, yeah, exactly, that's it. 129 00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:49.639 But you've got to go to the Midwest, where like 130 00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:51.519 we look at due points in the mid fifties to 131 00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:54.360 about sixty degrees to be considered Colorado humid. But you 132 00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:56.319 can go into the Midwest and find those same due 133 00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:59.959 points oppressively thick seventies and eighties where you can drink. 134 00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:01.279 Yeah, exactly. 135 00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:03.600 I mean when I remember when I first came out here, 136 00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:06.439 right after I got my job, so this would have 137 00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:09.560 been like April May before. No, wait a minute, it 138 00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:11.319 was August. I guess when I started out here. I 139 00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:14.199 can't remember. The days are all jumbled together. So I 140 00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:17.120 go to a baseball game with my boss and his 141 00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:18.279 boss at the time, and. 142 00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:18.920 We're sitting there. 143 00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:21.959 Now, I'm coming from Louisville, Kentucky, where every day is 144 00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:24.600 a swamp right to your point. Every day it's like 145 00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:27.720 eighty five percent humidity. It's miserable every day. And we're 146 00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:31.639 sitting at coursefield and I'm thinking to myself, this is glorious. 147 00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:34.759 This is the greatest weather I have ever experienced in 148 00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:37.519 an August in my lifetime. And they look at me 149 00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:43.639 and go, God, it's so humid right now, because they're apologizing. 150 00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:44.439 Because it's not normally. 151 00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:46.040 And it was like forty percent humidity. 152 00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:48.680 Dave and I just laughed. I was like, you've got 153 00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:50.639 to be kidding me. This is glorious. 154 00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:52.480 So I've got a couple questions from the text line 155 00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:54.040 I want to get in before we ran out of time. 156 00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:58.720 This one is Mandy Sunday evening. We had a thunderstorm 157 00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:02.319 that had constant thunder and lightning rumbling, but the lightning 158 00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:04.319 never appeared to come in contact with the ground. 159 00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:05.720 Please ab Dave explain this. 160 00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:09.079 It's cloud to cloud lightning, so that that is a 161 00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:10.720 type of the strike that we can get and that 162 00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:14.240 generally happens with what we call nocturnal storms. The storms 163 00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:17.160 are still electric, but they're not as vibrant as they 164 00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:19.000 would be during the day where they have a little 165 00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:21.720 more electricity. And so we call that cloud to cloud 166 00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:24.680 lightning that you see at night, and it is vivid 167 00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:26.360 and it lights up the sky and it can be 168 00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:29.920 continuous in that type of an environment. We also I'll 169 00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:32.720 just briefly touch on you know, people in the Midwest 170 00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:36.680 always refer to a lightning that they can't hear thunder 171 00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:40.600 a heat lightning because you know, it's on a warm, 172 00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:42.879 humid night in the planes and you're looking off in 173 00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:45.319 the distance, you can't hear the thunder, and people refer 174 00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:46.839 to that as heat lighting. There's no such thing as 175 00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:49.519 heat lightning. It's just the thunderstorm that's so far away 176 00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:51.879 you can't hear the thunder. So got as long as 177 00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:53.000 we were talking about lightning. 178 00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:57.079 Here's the possibly most ridiculous, but question I really want 179 00:07:57.079 --> 00:07:57.600 the answer to. 180 00:07:58.360 --> 00:07:59.160 We've ever gotten? 181 00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:02.040 How many different suits does Dave have to wear for 182 00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:04.600 all his shows? Does his closet look like Henry Hill 183 00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:07.480 from Goodfellas? 184 00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:10.519 You know, we rotate, throw, we try and update, and 185 00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:13.160 it's like a typical wardrobe. You know. Here's the funny thing. 186 00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:15.959 I talk with guys that work about this all the time. 187 00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:19.079 You know, women I have to go on TV and 188 00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:23.079 they have to have numerous ouses. Honestly, a guy could 189 00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:25.639 wear a black suit with a white shirt and change 190 00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:27.879 in kigh five days in a row, and I guarantee 191 00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:29.759 you most people won't know it. And there was a 192 00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:34.080 guy in Australia television newscaster in Australia who did that 193 00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:38.279 for an entire year and nobody noticed, of course that 194 00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:40.759 he was wearing the same one. And there's some guys 195 00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:43.480 locally that do the same thing. I mean, Jay Leno 196 00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:46.519 wears the same pair of jean shirt and jean pants. 197 00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:48.360 He's got, like, you know, so many of them. But 198 00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:50.440 it's the same thing every day. And there's a couple 199 00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:53.759 of guys on Nightline on NBC that do the same 200 00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:56.080 watch them. They wear the same attire. It's the same 201 00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:58.519 black eyed white shirt and black suit every single time 202 00:08:58.519 --> 00:08:58.799 they're on. 203 00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:01.480 Well, you know, my little side project, I got this 204 00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:03.759 YouTube show with my friend Debrah Flora, and we are 205 00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:06.879 literally like, oh my god, when can we start repeating outfits? 206 00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:09.399 Because neither of us are what you would call a 207 00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:10.200 clothes horse. 208 00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:13.399 And you know, I work in radio, Dave. 209 00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:16.279 I mean, I barely wear pants to the office most days, 210 00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:19.039 so it's like wearing clothes that people are gonna see. 211 00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:22.399 That's like a whole new ball game that I'm not 212 00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:23.240 quite sure what to do with. 213 00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:24.840 So I don't envy that at all. 214 00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:27.360 For the folks working in TV and having that added 215 00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:28.840 pressure of having to look good. 216 00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:32.519 Too, Yeah, well, and there's seasonal right, certain suits looking 217 00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:34.600 a little better in different seasons than you rotate through. 218 00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:36.639 And then everyhow and then you know, I mean a 219 00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:38.039 couple of years you go out and buy three or 220 00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:40.240 four suits and kind of spice up the wardrobe. I 221 00:09:40.279 --> 00:09:42.399 really think it's the tie that makes the difference, and 222 00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:45.360 I look for ties that are bold but not flashy, 223 00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:48.519 that stand out against a white shirt. I always wear 224 00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:51.320 white shirts. I think white shirts are better than colored 225 00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:53.879 or striped or patterned shirts. I think the tie pops 226 00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:56.840 on a white shirt. I always wear white shirts, and 227 00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:59.559 I look for ties that can cross over different color suits. 228 00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:02.799 You know, the color stands out with a black suit, 229 00:10:02.840 --> 00:10:05.120 but can also stand out with a gray suit, and 230 00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:07.480 so you can get multiple uses out of ties with 231 00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:08.320 different setups. 232 00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:12.440 Dave gets my fashion. Dab Frazier gets it. Baby, he knows. 233 00:10:12.639 --> 00:10:15.679 Dave knows what's up, and you can see and judge 234 00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:18.759 his fashion accordingly.
