Black Hole Posted December 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 I believe the last I updated before yesterday was after thanksgiving. There were 4 "confirmed" tornadoes around Phoenix that morning. I say that in quotes because the whole thing seemed less than exact but what can you do.We had some additional severe thunderstorms about a week ago which had 1" hail in parts of the PHX metro. The storm coming near Christmas will probably be wet...but it again may close off on its way in which could lead to another severe threat. Its busier down here than I expected.

Kayla Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 About to get real cold and real snowy here beginning tomorrow morning after a long dry and warm period over the last 6 weeks or so. All the models are frigid for here now beginning on Monday through next week with the GFS being the most extreme. Snow chances begin tomorrow morning and continue on and off through early next week. Nothing looks like it's holding much moisture but with some crazy (40-50:1) snow ratios the snow should really start to pile up.

Euro is still not onboard for that kind of cold but at face value the GFS would rival (but still not beat) 1916 and 1930 January cold waves. Speaking of historical data; it looks like January 27th 1916 is the coldest day (tied with two other days from Feb 1989/1933) in Bozeman history with a -22F/-33F day for an average temp of -27.5F.

Front Ranger Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 Been a pretty dreadful January here, with wind being the main story.

Front Ranger Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 The boredom continues. After one of the best Oct/Nov combos in Front Range history for snowfall, the last month and a half has been historically awful.
