Black Hole

Recommended Posts

Another very strong storm with constant lightning moved through here this evening dropping 0.74" of rainfall in 30min and a whole bunch of hail. Up to 2.35" of rainfall on the month now with more expected tonight/tomorrow and on Sunday with a cold early season trough. So after a dry July and early August things have really turned quite wet.

August will end slightly below average here. Looks like the Bozeman Airport will end with around a -2F departure for the Jun-Aug Summer period.

 

Very Fall like day here today. Low of 39F this morning with extensive cloud cover and rain showers expected throughout the day. Should only top out in the low to mid 50's. Currently 49F. First frost of the season is likely tonight and possibly even our first freeze.

Looking like a very dynamic cold front moving through here around noon on Monday. Temps look to drop from the low 50's in the morning into the 30's by the afternoon with rain likely changing to snow by late afternoon and evening. Pretty incredible for early September!

 

Record highs are forecasted tomorrow (low to mid 90's) and record lows are forecasted for Tuesday morning (mid to upper 20's). Dynamic!

12z Euro is showing 4-8" over my house but I highly doubt we see much accumulation considering the ground temps after tomorrow and Sunday.

Not quite to Denver numbers but close with a 40-45 degree temp drop in 24 hours. Should be a fun one to track.

It's been a while. Let's see...July was the hottest month on record until August was. Almost no rain. A miserable summer to be sure.

We will get the fringes of the coming cold so its something.

Were those months really the two hottest on record down there?

Rain is beginning to switch over to snow here. Down to 37F after a midnight high of 58F. It was 80 degrees at this same time yesterday. Pretty incredible.

Currently in Salida, CO after spending the last couple days in Pagosa Springs. Weather has been beautiful until smoke rolled in this morning, now it's very thick.

The drop over the next 24 hours is going to be unprecedented for early September, and the snow accumulations may be as well. Even a few wet inches this time of year will create a lot of problems with all the leaves on the trees...6"+ could be devastating.

That's crazy. A truly historic summer in the Southwest, for sure. 

I know Phoenix has its own UHI issues when it comes to historical record. How did the last couple months compare at more rural or unchanged stations?

Last shot before darkness. About an inch on the ground and still really coming down. Currently 32 degrees.

A couple of notes on the historic nature of both this month, and the coming crash.

- DEN set an all-time September record of 101 degrees on Saturday. It's worth noting that the official location for DEN records changed in 1995 and the current location is more prone to heat extremes, being further from the mountains. Most other locations in the area did not hit triple digits.

- There is a very good chance many locations in the region could see the coldest highs on record this early over the next couple days. The earliest record of a high in the 30s for all Denver stations, dating back to 1872, is 9/17. Denver is forecasted to have a high of 35 tomorrow and 38 the following day.

- The combination of heat followed by cold is obviously unprecedented for this time of year. DEN had a high of 93 today. Within 24 hours, we should see a temp about 60 degrees colder. The all-time 24 hour temperature change is 66 degrees. However, the biggest change ever in September was 55 degrees.

I would love to experience that.

When I was in Denver in May some years back for work it went from mid 70's one afternoon to low 30's and 3 inches of snow 12 hours later, that was pretty cool to experience.

Basically none. It rained once at my house the entire summer with 1/4". Some places haven't had anything!

UHI made it much worse, but most areas saw their warmest summer on record down here, or at least one of the warmest. An unpleasant welcome for me.

Some notable records.

  • DEN had a midnight high of 43 yesterday (afternoon high in the mid 30s) and 42 today. Both qualify as the coldest highs on record this early in the season. 
  • This was DEN's earliest snowfall since 1962
  • Cheyenne had their earliest snowfall since 1929
  • Cheyenne's high of 32 yesterday was their coldest this early on record. Next earliest sub-freezing high isn't until 9/17
  • Alamosa, CO recorded 6.7" of snow from the storm. They'd never had more than 2.2" in all of September before.
  • Snow 1

Sounds like SLC had a significant wind.

It was a major storm from all I can gather. Peak gust of 99 mph where people live, but generally 80-100 mph along the eastern Foothills with major tree damage and some structural damage. Even in the city, the power is still out 2 days later for some.

Feeling incredibly fortunate to have crystal clear blue bird skies here today. Looks like some haze will arrive here by Saturday so soaking this in while I can.

A few light showers this morning around Phoenix, but highs continue to run 100-105 the next few days. Might make one last run at 110 early next week. At least the lows are cooling off at this point.

A bit unusual for Phoenix to have showers this time of year.

This is the tail end of our monsoon season but it does occasionally happen. Hasn't rained all month though so I am happy for it!
