Speaker 1: The best meteorologist I know, well, at least the one
Speaker 1: on the phone with me right now. I do know
Speaker 1: more than one meteorologist. And as I said that, I
Speaker 1: was like, oh my gosh, what if they hear me
Speaker 1: and I hurt their feelings.
Speaker 2: But you're my favorite day. I'll say it. Bye.
Speaker 3: How are you?
Speaker 2: I'm good. I'm good.
Speaker 1: So everybody wants to know what the weather is going
Speaker 1: to be like for the fireworks on Friday, So let's
Speaker 1: jump right into that.
Speaker 2: First, shall we.
Speaker 3: Yep, I was anticipating that, like we talked about last week.
Speaker 3: I just got through with the updating our seven day
Speaker 3: forecast and looking into the details for the afternoon in
Speaker 3: the evening on Friday the fourth. And it's not bad news.
Speaker 3: It's not dry, but it is a low chance for
Speaker 3: scattered thunderstorms. And I have to underscore the words scattered.
Speaker 3: There's been scattered storms the last few days here and there.
Speaker 3: There's many people who could probably listening to you right
Speaker 3: now say I haven't seen the drop of rain, and
Speaker 3: that's going to be the case on Friday. I think
Speaker 3: there's storms tomorrow. Thursday come up a little later, normally
Speaker 3: we say two to six tomorrow. I think we may
Speaker 3: have to wait till four to seven to see a
Speaker 3: few scavenge songs, and then on Friday. I think it
Speaker 3: is a traditional two to six in the front range.
Speaker 3: So think from Cheyenne, Wyoming all the way to say
Speaker 3: Castle Rock, Monument Hill in Colorado Springs. They'll come off
Speaker 3: the foothills, they'll dot the landscape. They may have dusty winds,
Speaker 3: they'll have some lightning, you might get some rain out
Speaker 3: of them. Sometimes you get more wind than rain at
Speaker 3: this time of the year. And then they move east
Speaker 3: onto the planes. But even on the planes, it looks
Speaker 3: like the timing is they're out of the state by
Speaker 3: eight o'clock. So for evening fireworks displays, the professional ones,
Speaker 3: the community ones. I think we're looking good. I really do.
Speaker 3: But if you have outdoor plans on Friday, you're going
Speaker 3: to be near a body of water, or you're out
Speaker 3: camping or whatever, you just have to be listening, watching
Speaker 3: the skies, and if something heads your away, just give
Speaker 3: it a little time and wait about a half an
Speaker 3: hour after the last rumble of thunder and go back
Speaker 3: to whatever your festivities are.
Speaker 1: For the four of course, you can always download the
Speaker 1: pinfoint weather app that will give you lightning wars that
Speaker 1: they're in your area too.
Speaker 2: That's the easiest way to do that.
Speaker 1: I want to ask you something Aeron And we're talking
Speaker 1: about this in the begin of the show. I was
Speaker 1: talking to my personal trainer about this, and she's a
Speaker 1: native Colorado and she's, you know, in her sixties and
Speaker 1: she's been her entire life, and we were talking about
Speaker 1: this summer is a little bit weird for Colorado. And
Speaker 1: I'm not saying bad because I love it that things
Speaker 1: are not catching on fire, right like, I'm enjoying the
Speaker 1: heck out of that. But we've had a very it's
Speaker 1: been humid, you know, we've had regular rainstorms and thunderstorms
Speaker 1: and things like that. Is this a strange weather pattern
Speaker 1: for us? Am I misreading this?
Speaker 3: And no? Actually I think what it is is it's
Speaker 3: the short term memory of the last couple of maybe
Speaker 3: three to five summers of blazing heat and fire concerns.
Speaker 3: This actually made was very good to us. As you know,
Speaker 3: we were above normal for precipitation and the temperatures were
Speaker 3: just a little below. June has actually been sevenal I
Speaker 3: mean what we experienced in June, we had stretches of
Speaker 3: slightly below normal temperatures but nothing cold, and we had
Speaker 3: stretches of ninety plus degree heat. We got the ninety
Speaker 3: nine a couple of days in a row almost one
Speaker 3: hundred degrees. Didn't reach the century mark. But the month
Speaker 3: of June actually only ended up zero point eight degrees,
Speaker 3: eight tenths of a degree above normal. And it wasn't
Speaker 3: the highs it averaged us up that eight tenths of
Speaker 3: a degree. It was the morning loaves that pumped us
Speaker 3: up just beyond normal, which was kind of interesting. So
Speaker 3: even though we had those hot stretches, even though we
Speaker 3: had ninety eight, ninety nine, ninety seven degree days, it
Speaker 3: was the lows that pumped us just above average, and
Speaker 3: from moist we ended up a quarter of an inch ahead.
Speaker 3: The most we had was one point three inches. That
Speaker 3: was a soggy I'm trying to remember what day it was.
Speaker 3: It might have been a Saturday early in the month.
Speaker 3: So we're okay, and here we are. You know, last
Speaker 3: night we start the month of July. Yesterday we hit
Speaker 3: ninety three degrees. That's above average. Average right now is
Speaker 3: eighty nine, so it's four degrees above. But we have
Speaker 3: a thunderstorm come right up over the airport and it
Speaker 3: dumped three a third of an inch. So here we
Speaker 3: are the second wettest month, and on the first day
Speaker 3: on a month where we get two point one four
Speaker 3: inches of rain, we already got a third of an inch.
Speaker 3: So that was fantastic.
Speaker 1: To your point, though not everybody's getting the rain equally.
Speaker 1: What's what's fascinating. As I was driving home on Sunday
Speaker 1: night from Aurora down into Dougco and it was pouring
Speaker 1: in Aurora, I mean pouring, and then by the it's
Speaker 1: like I crossed the doug Coot line and nothing nothing,
Speaker 1: It all stops and it's like, oh, okay, well it's
Speaker 1: not raining here. So if people are not getting the
Speaker 1: kind of rain that we're talking about, you're just unlucky,
Speaker 1: I guess. But overall, I mean it's been it's been
Speaker 1: a net positive. But I don't recall it feels humid.
Speaker 1: Is our humidity higher? Am I just having residual humidity
Speaker 1: attacks from Japan?
Speaker 3: Yeah? No, Actually it's been right where we should be
Speaker 3: at this time of the year. We tend to kind
Speaker 3: of look out for the start of the monsoons, right,
Speaker 3: So you and I you and I've talked here on
Speaker 3: your show many many times about the humidity and due
Speaker 3: point and how humidity is a percentage of the moisture
Speaker 3: in the air, where due point is an actual measurement
Speaker 3: of the moisture. Generally, what we look for is due
Speaker 3: points that signal the start of the monsoon rains that
Speaker 3: are going to be in the mid fifties. Right we've
Speaker 3: been going back and forth from the upper forties to
Speaker 3: the low fifties. We've had a few days that got
Speaker 3: in the upper fifties, and those are the days that
Speaker 3: it may have felt more humid and yielded us good rain.
Speaker 3: But right now, our due points are just about where
Speaker 3: they should be. They're not high enough to be considered monsoon.
Speaker 3: They're not really significantly above what we would expect, but
Speaker 3: they're high enough that the heating of the day, and
Speaker 3: we're getting into the hottest part of the summer here
Speaker 3: in July, that we can trigger storms as the landscape
Speaker 3: heats up. So it's decent, but I wouldn't call it,
Speaker 3: you know, for Colorado. I mean, you know, fifty sixty
Speaker 3: percent humidity is like, oh my goodness, yeah, exactly, that's it.
Speaker 3: But you've got to go to the Midwest, where like
Speaker 3: we look at due points in the mid fifties to
Speaker 3: about sixty degrees to be considered Colorado humid. But you
Speaker 3: can go into the Midwest and find those same due
Speaker 3: points oppressively thick seventies and eighties where you can drink.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: I mean when I remember when I first came out here,
Speaker 1: right after I got my job, so this would have
Speaker 1: been like April May before. No, wait a minute, it
Speaker 1: was August. I guess when I started out here. I
Speaker 1: can't remember. The days are all jumbled together. So I
Speaker 1: go to a baseball game with my boss and his
Speaker 1: boss at the time, and.
Speaker 2: We're sitting there.
Speaker 1: Now, I'm coming from Louisville, Kentucky, where every day is
Speaker 1: a swamp right to your point. Every day it's like
Speaker 1: eighty five percent humidity. It's miserable every day. And we're
Speaker 1: sitting at coursefield and I'm thinking to myself, this is glorious.
Speaker 1: This is the greatest weather I have ever experienced in
Speaker 1: an August in my lifetime. And they look at me
Speaker 1: and go, God, it's so humid right now, because they're apologizing.
Speaker 2: Because it's not normally.
Speaker 1: And it was like forty percent humidity.
Speaker 2: Dave and I just laughed. I was like, you've got
Speaker 2: to be kidding me. This is glorious.
Speaker 1: So I've got a couple questions from the text line
Speaker 1: I want to get in before we ran out of time.
Speaker 1: This one is Mandy Sunday evening. We had a thunderstorm
Speaker 1: that had constant thunder and lightning rumbling, but the lightning
Speaker 1: never appeared to come in contact with the ground.
Speaker 2: Please ab Dave explain this.
Speaker 3: It's cloud to cloud lightning, so that that is a
Speaker 3: type of the strike that we can get and that
Speaker 3: generally happens with what we call nocturnal storms. The storms
Speaker 3: are still electric, but they're not as vibrant as they
Speaker 3: would be during the day where they have a little
Speaker 3: more electricity. And so we call that cloud to cloud
Speaker 3: lightning that you see at night, and it is vivid
Speaker 3: and it lights up the sky and it can be
Speaker 3: continuous in that type of an environment. We also I'll
Speaker 3: just briefly touch on you know, people in the Midwest
Speaker 3: always refer to a lightning that they can't hear thunder
Speaker 3: a heat lightning because you know, it's on a warm,
Speaker 3: humid night in the planes and you're looking off in
Speaker 3: the distance, you can't hear the thunder, and people refer
Speaker 3: to that as heat lighting. There's no such thing as
Speaker 3: heat lightning. It's just the thunderstorm that's so far away
Speaker 3: you can't hear the thunder. So got as long as
Speaker 3: we were talking about lightning.
Speaker 1: Here's the possibly most ridiculous, but question I really want
Speaker 1: the answer to.
Speaker 2: We've ever gotten?
Speaker 1: How many different suits does Dave have to wear for
Speaker 1: all his shows? Does his closet look like Henry Hill
Speaker 1: from Goodfellas?
Speaker 3: You know, we rotate, throw, we try and update, and
Speaker 3: it's like a typical wardrobe. You know. Here's the funny thing.
Speaker 3: I talk with guys that work about this all the time.
Speaker 3: You know, women I have to go on TV and
Speaker 3: they have to have numerous ouses. Honestly, a guy could
Speaker 3: wear a black suit with a white shirt and change
Speaker 3: in kigh five days in a row, and I guarantee
Speaker 3: you most people won't know it. And there was a
Speaker 3: guy in Australia television newscaster in Australia who did that
Speaker 3: for an entire year and nobody noticed, of course that
Speaker 3: he was wearing the same one. And there's some guys
Speaker 3: locally that do the same thing. I mean, Jay Leno
Speaker 3: wears the same pair of jean shirt and jean pants.
Speaker 3: He's got, like, you know, so many of them. But
Speaker 3: it's the same thing every day. And there's a couple
Speaker 3: of guys on Nightline on NBC that do the same
Speaker 3: watch them. They wear the same attire. It's the same
Speaker 3: black eyed white shirt and black suit every single time
Speaker 3: they're on.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, my little side project, I got this
Speaker 1: YouTube show with my friend Debrah Flora, and we are
Speaker 1: literally like, oh my god, when can we start repeating outfits?
Speaker 1: Because neither of us are what you would call a
Speaker 1: clothes horse.
Speaker 2: And you know, I work in radio, Dave.
Speaker 1: I mean, I barely wear pants to the office most days,
Speaker 1: so it's like wearing clothes that people are gonna see.
Speaker 1: That's like a whole new ball game that I'm not
Speaker 1: quite sure what to do with.
Speaker 2: So I don't envy that at all.
Speaker 1: For the folks working in TV and having that added
Speaker 1: pressure of having to look good.
Speaker 3: Too, Yeah, well, and there's seasonal right, certain suits looking
Speaker 3: a little better in different seasons than you rotate through.
Speaker 3: And then everyhow and then you know, I mean a
Speaker 3: couple of years you go out and buy three or
Speaker 3: four suits and kind of spice up the wardrobe. I
Speaker 3: really think it's the tie that makes the difference, and
Speaker 3: I look for ties that are bold but not flashy,
Speaker 3: that stand out against a white shirt. I always wear
Speaker 3: white shirts. I think white shirts are better than colored
Speaker 3: or striped or patterned shirts. I think the tie pops
Speaker 3: on a white shirt. I always wear white shirts, and
Speaker 3: I look for ties that can cross over different color suits.
Speaker 3: You know, the color stands out with a black suit,
Speaker 3: but can also stand out with a gray suit, and
Speaker 3: so you can get multiple uses out of ties with
Speaker 3: different setups.
Speaker 2: Dave gets my fashion. Dab Frazier gets it. Baby, he knows.
Speaker 1: Dave knows what's up, and you can see and judge
Speaker 1: his fashion accordingly. Uh as he gives you the most
Speaker 1: accurate forecast on Fox thirty one. Dave Frazer, good to
Speaker 1: talk to you, my friend. I'll talk to you next week.
Speaker 3: Happy fourteen. Hey, hey Rod, everybody over at iHeart and
Speaker 3: to all of your listeners and our viewers. Everybody have
Speaker 3: a safe holiday.
Speaker 2: Hey you too, my friend. We'll talk to you next week.
