Front Ranger Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 DEN hit 102 today, one short of the record. 98 at my house. As often happens with hot summer days, most of the metro area was 2-5 degrees cooler than the airport. 1 Quote A forum for the end of the world.

TT-SEA Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 Because I am fascinated with old photos and it pertains to the Mountain West... this photo was taken 88 years ago this week in Glacier National Park on 7/15/1933 at Logan Pass and the opening of the Going-to-the-Sun Road. 3 Quote **REPORTED CONDITIONS AND ANOMALIES ARE NOT MEANT TO IMPLY ANYTHING ON A REGIONAL LEVEL UNLESS SPECIFICALLY STATED** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Front Ranger Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 A lot more monsoon action in the Southwest over the next few days. Black Hole - have you seen much in the way of storms so far? Looks like Phoenix has done ok, though not near as well as places like Mesa and Scottsdale. But plenty of time for that to change. Quote A forum for the end of the world.

Front Ranger Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 Scottsdale saw over 2" of rain yesterday, and is over 3" for the month. Looks like that area averages less than 1" of rain in July...could easily end up being one of the wettest Julys on record for parts of the Southwest. 2 Quote A forum for the end of the world.

Black Hole Posted July 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 I've been away for a while with a newborn but I will try and get back into things now. It's been a great start to the monsoon. I've had 3.17" with 12 days of measurable rain so far. We may get some more this evening too but wind is a bigger threat. The recent storms were pretty wild. Some spots had over 3" in one day! 2 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...

Dan the Weatherman Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 I hope the return of the monsoon in AZ and other parts of the SW this summer leads to a more normal and active winter pattern for the entire western part of the country!

I ended up getting another inch from a localized thunderstorm in the middle of the night, but we are probably drying out after today for a while. Hopefully we can see some transition events in September.

Black Hole Posted August 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 It's starting to look like we could get some more action early next week. The NHC invest off of Mexico will eventually send some moisture in here and increase rain chances. Too early to get specific on details though.

Black Hole Posted August 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 A tropical system will be coming up towards Baja and maybe the southwest in about a week.

Front Ranger Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 Unseasonably warm weather most of this month continued over the weekend, with highs in the mid 80s. Today will probably touch 90 at DEN, which is about as late as temps that warm get here (latest 90 on record is 9/30). Thankfully, temps cool to much more fall-like 60s in a couple days. 1 Quote A forum for the end of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
