Kayla Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 July 2017 ended up being just the 2nd month on record at Kalispell, MT to not have a maximum below 80 degrees. The other was July 2007, which holds the benchmark with no maximums below 83. Shows once again the anomaly of July 2007 because this past July was a doozy! Bozeman still ended up over 2º shy of the July 2007 mean yet was a clear second in 125 years of records keeping. July 2017 was the second warmest month in Bozeman on record with an average mean of 72.4º. Bozeman recorded 14 days at or above 90 during the month which is also the seasonal total so far. To give some perspective, Bozeman's seasonal average total is just 8 days at or above 90. The hottest temps recorded in the month was just 95º so consistency was the key this past month. 1 Quote Cold Season 2023/24: Total snowfall: 26" Highest daily snowfall: 5" Deepest snow depth: 12" Coldest daily high: -20ºF Coldest daily low: -42ºF Number of subzero days: 5 Personal Weather Station on Wunderground: https://www.wunderground.com/personal-weather-station/dashboard?ID=KMTBOZEM152#history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Front Ranger Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 Drizzle all day and a temp of just 57 here at 3pm, with heavier stuff about to move in. This is the most autumn-like summer day I can remember here since the crazy two day storm in mid August 2008. That one dumped 2-3" throughout the metro area, with highs in the 50s, and the mountains above 9000' got a heavy snowfall. Quote A forum for the end of the world.

Black Hole Posted August 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 Other than the 1/3 of an inch on July 26th, I haven't had any appreciable rain since June 13th. Most areas around me have done better but I've been very unlucky. One more shot tonight before we dry out again for a few days. At least the heat of summer is dying down, mid 80s to low 90s this week instead of 100s.

Front Ranger Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 We may be done with the hot weather for the year here.

Kayla Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 After the stratiform rain we had yesterday morning we had a nice break and some sun with highs topping out in the upper 60's. Then after sunset at around 9:30pm we had a train of storms move through with frequent lightning giving the best light show of the year by far. The storms also brought a ton moisture dropping 0.75"+ around the area. I ended up with 1.22" of rainfall over the last 24 hours. Great way to break the ~30 day dry streak!

Black Hole Posted September 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Finally starting to see some hints of change. We may see some cooler air sneak in over the divide on Tuesday, which will probably be a nice cool off for those of you in Montana and Colorado. Anyway, most ensembles are much cooler by the end of week 2. So, we may have to wait a while but I expect by then we will drop into the 80s and be done with this 95+ crap. 1 Quote Winter 23-24: Total Snow (3.2") Total Ice (0.2") Coldest Low: 1F Coldest High: 5F Snow Events: 0.1" Jan 5th, 0.2" Jan 9th, 1.6" Jan 14, 0.2" (ice) Jan 22, 1.3" Feb 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah around 90 this weekend up here then we cool off into the 70's on Monday as a trough drops down into the Midwest bringing us a cool NW flow. Probably will see several spots in the area get their first freeze Tuesday or Wednesday morning with very dry air in place. Would love to see some more precip as we continue to run extremely dry. I did notice that the latest euro weeklies showed a lot of moisture arriving around or just after the 15th.

Kayla Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Looks like we'll see our first significant fall front here on Thursday of next week! It's actually looking pretty potent and may be enough to end the fire season with a good consensus of 1-1.5" of widespread precip. Friday into Saturday it's even possible we'll see our first snowfall of the year. At the very least, we should get a decent amount in the surrounding mountains.
