Speaker 1: He talked with Fox News Chief Meteorologist Dave Fraser. Dave,
Speaker 1: I got to tell you something funny. So I'm the
Speaker 1: game last week and they played Thunderstruck, and I immediately
Speaker 1: thought of you. So for the rest of my life
Speaker 1: now when I hear ACDC Thunderstruck, I am going to
Speaker 1: think of Dave Fraser. So that that connection has been
Speaker 1: made and cannot be severed.
Speaker 2: That's fantastic.
Speaker 3: I know what a cool song to.
Speaker 1: Be associated with, too, not like you know Mandy by Barry.
Speaker 2: Manilow exactly, although I am a Manilo fan, so I
Speaker 2: enjoyed the music.
Speaker 3: I am too, I'm a huge fan of O.
Speaker 1: So let's talk first about what are weather's going to
Speaker 1: be like this weekend.
Speaker 3: We're about to see a big change.
Speaker 2: Well, first, I wanted because I talked with a Rod
Speaker 2: and I'm glad he still has his job. So I
Speaker 2: wanted to give you another chance to use the m
Speaker 2: hole comments. Remember I grew up. I grew up in
Speaker 2: just outside of Boston. I actually will be there this weekend,
Speaker 2: surrounded by a bunch of m holes watching the Broncos game.
Speaker 2: I'll be probably the only one dressed in Broncos gear.
Speaker 2: But at least I'll be dining on big stuff lops.
Speaker 2: So there's a down there. Yeah, but listen, it is
Speaker 2: it's so ironic. Last week before the Saturday game, on
Speaker 2: Monday of that week, we were forecasting like near fifty degrees,
Speaker 2: and every day that went by we lowered the temperature.
Speaker 2: And the same thing has happened this week, where we
Speaker 2: started off on Monday with a forecast for the game
Speaker 2: at around forty five, which is seasonal, and today I
Speaker 2: just sat up from my computer, I have taken the
Speaker 2: kickoff temperature down to closer to about twenty eight degrees.
Speaker 2: Will be yep, it will be the coldest game at
Speaker 2: Mile High of the year, not the coldest in history.
Speaker 2: Just this season they've had very mild temperatures. And the
Speaker 2: good news is it will be sunny, the wind does
Speaker 2: not look to be strong, and it will be dry.
Speaker 2: And so it's just like last weekend. It's going to
Speaker 2: be a dress warm asterisk asterisk exclamation point. You gotta
Speaker 2: dress warm, you gotta dress like a twinter. And if
Speaker 2: you're in the shadows in the stadium or tailgating in
Speaker 2: the shadows of the stadium, it's going to feel cold.
Speaker 1: Well, and that's the challenging part because we were sitting
Speaker 1: in the south end zone. So the first half of
Speaker 1: the game we were in the sun and it was hot.
Speaker 1: I mean I use the word hot on purpose. It
Speaker 1: was hot as soon as the sun went down. It
Speaker 1: was cold in between. So it's going to be more
Speaker 1: of the same this weekend as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say, as we always do in Colorado,
Speaker 2: dress and layers, so you can take off a layer
Speaker 2: two if you are in the sun early in the
Speaker 2: game because of that, I mean, the sun always makes
Speaker 2: a huge difference at our altitude. Thirty degrees in full
Speaker 2: sunshine does not feel like thirty degrees, but thirty degrees.
Speaker 2: Once that sunsets, that starts to feel a little colder.
Speaker 2: I don't think the temperatures crashed during the game, but
Speaker 2: like I said, expect temperatures to be mainly in the twenties.
Speaker 2: And of course, the game kicks off a little earlier
Speaker 2: at one o'clock now at two thirty like last week,
Speaker 2: so the setting sun will be a factor towards the
Speaker 2: end of the game, but not as much as it
Speaker 2: was last weekend with that later kickoff. So bottom line
Speaker 2: is place should be rocking it should be great weather.
Speaker 2: And there is one computer model I will tip this
Speaker 2: caveat out there that wants to keep a couple of
Speaker 2: light flurries around. I'm not going with that in my forecast.
Speaker 2: I think the air is just too dry for that.
Speaker 2: But we'll keep an eye on it. But even if
Speaker 2: that was to happen, it's not a factor on the field.
Speaker 1: So let me ask you for getting this cold front.
Speaker 1: It is a giant polar vortex that's going to send
Speaker 1: a lot of the country into the deep freeze. Let's
Speaker 1: talk about that for a moment. Are we getting snow
Speaker 1: on Friday Saturday?
Speaker 3: Is that?
Speaker 1: Does that potentially exist? What's happening in the next couple
Speaker 1: of days.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So tomorrow you're going to notice it being a
Speaker 2: little more chilly. We're forecasting upper thirties, close to forty degrees,
Speaker 2: so little by little so this very cold Arctic air.
Speaker 2: There's a big area blow pressure over the Great Lakes
Speaker 2: near Hudson Bay and it is going to draw down
Speaker 2: this huge Arctic air mass that is going to slide
Speaker 2: through mainly the Dakotas, down through Iowa, the Great Lakes
Speaker 2: and then on into New England. That's where the bitter
Speaker 2: cold will be some calculated temperatures. They could be looking
Speaker 2: at like say Fargo, North Dakota, like eighteen below, in
Speaker 2: Chicago at eleven or two or three below, and so
Speaker 2: they'll have some bitter cold temperatures. The southeast corner of
Speaker 2: the country will be dealing with rain and neut rain,
Speaker 2: snow and ice. That's always the worst case scenarios, ice
Speaker 2: on the roads. We're on the western fringe of that.
Speaker 2: So some of that cold air comes our way. We're
Speaker 2: not going to get blasted by all of it. Some
Speaker 2: of it will come down. It comes in late Thursday
Speaker 2: night Friday, So Friday's highs will be in the twenties.
Speaker 2: It will be a cloudy day, and it will feel cold.
Speaker 2: Saturdays forecast highs are now in the teams. Morning lows
Speaker 2: will be in the single digits and could be close
Speaker 2: to zero both Saturday morning and again Sunday morning. So
Speaker 2: if you tailgaters who want to race off the mile
Speaker 2: high and get set up, it'll be cold as you're
Speaker 2: setting up to tailgate.
Speaker 1: You know what, I saw him drinking at ten thirty
Speaker 1: on Saturday. I think they'll be okay. They'll be lubricated
Speaker 1: and warmed up from the inside.
Speaker 3: Day from the.
Speaker 2: Inside doesn't hurt. Yeah, long way.
Speaker 1: So let's talk about the polar vortex overall though, because
Speaker 1: there's been a lot.
Speaker 3: This is one of those things where.
Speaker 4: People are like, what about global warvac Dave, So can
Speaker 4: you explain the science behind a polar vortex and why
Speaker 4: this cold Arctic are is dipping down that look and
Speaker 4: by the way, this kind of weather is devastating in
Speaker 4: the Southeast because.
Speaker 3: They have no means of moving snow.
Speaker 1: They don't have snowplows, so this will cripple the southeastern
Speaker 1: part of the United States.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they can't deal with that. You're talking about sliding
Speaker 2: you know, down into Florida, cold temperatures and everything. You know. Basically,
Speaker 2: look global warming again, I don't delve a lot into that.
Speaker 2: There is a science behind it, there is science against it.
Speaker 2: It becomes a political battle. The bottom line is I
Speaker 2: look at the forecasting and we are just in a
Speaker 2: pattern where there are things happening on the planet that
Speaker 2: are controlling patterns, not data weather, but patterns, and we
Speaker 2: have been stuck in a La Nina pattern. Some of
Speaker 2: that has to do with the ocean water temperatures, we've
Speaker 2: talked about before, so globally, globally the planet can be
Speaker 2: influenced by warmer periods and colder periods, and that affects
Speaker 2: storm tracts and what we get seasonally. But I always
Speaker 2: focus on that said, you know, the seven to ten
Speaker 2: days forecast, and regardless of what's driving the machine, I'm
Speaker 2: still looking for how cold will be, how warm will
Speaker 2: it be, will it rain, will it snow? How much
Speaker 2: will it rain? How much I still have to get
Speaker 2: into those details. But when you stand back globally, just
Speaker 2: because somebody hears the word global warming doesn't mean the
Speaker 2: entire planet is warm. It just means maybe the planet
Speaker 2: is being influenced by slightly warmer temperatures. And who knows
Speaker 2: what the future will break, Maybe the planet will be
Speaker 2: influenced by slightly colder It doesn't change the fact that
Speaker 2: it can be cold and rainy and snowy. It doesn't
Speaker 2: to day to day. We still got a forecast, right.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, I think that this is the sad
Speaker 1: thing about this is like if we had been able
Speaker 1: to play a more southerly football team, this weather could
Speaker 1: have been a distinct advantage for the Broncos. But God
Speaker 1: if anybody's used to it, it's the Patriots, right.
Speaker 3: I mean it's like, did.
Speaker 2: You see no, did you see that game last week? Oh? Yeah,
Speaker 2: game in New England? Yep, yep. No, they're they're We're ready.
Speaker 2: They're well prepared to play in a cold game and
Speaker 2: even snow. I don't think snow is a factor, like
Speaker 2: I said, but it will be a cold game.
Speaker 3: Amen to that? All right?
Speaker 1: You can always see Dave and his fellow meteorologist on
Speaker 1: Fox thirty one. They're why watch and trust or even
Speaker 1: download their Pinpoint Weather app, which is the best and
Speaker 1: most accurate weather app I have on my phone, and
Speaker 1: I have like four weather apps on my phone because
Speaker 1: I'm not neurotic.
Speaker 3: Dave Fraser, good to talk to you, my friend.
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you again next week after the big
Speaker 1: Broncos AFC Chance Future
Speaker 2: Quinn Absolutely, thanks man, I appreciate you and the crew,
Speaker 2: and go Broncos.
