Thanks to everyone that entered our 2019 First Snow Contest. We briefly review the entries, which actually favor a later date than Boulder’s climatology would suggest. Contest prizes and recognition will be awarded in the days following our first dumping of snow, BIG or SMALL!
5th Annual BoulderCAST First Snow Contest
*CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED TO ENTRIES*
Are you eager for the first snow of the season? Have you already waxed your skis and purchased your Epic Pass? Our first big snow could be right around the corner! We provide a brief overview of Boulder’s first snowfall climatology, discuss the snowfall forecast for the next ten days, and then pose a question…“When will Boulder’s first measurable snow occur this year?” Submit your guess for a chance to win an assortment of prizes. Those who get closest to the date of our first snow win.
Labor Day 2019 was Denver’s first 100-degree day ever to occur in September. It was also the latest 100-degree day observed, remarkably by more than two full weeks. The previous record high for September 2nd was 95 degrees. On Monday, this temperature was eclipsed before the lunch hour, with the prior record eventually being obliterated by 5 degrees later in the afternoon. The city of Boulder officially hit the century mark on Monday, too. The extreme heat had impressive historical significance here as well, with one small asterisk. Unlike Denver, Boulder actually only tied all of the existing records, as 100 degrees had already been observed on the very same day back in 1983. We investigate the validity of the triple digit observation this week and the one more than three decades ago.
It’s hard to believe that August is now upon us! Where is the summer going? June and the first half of July were cooler than normal with summer barely making an appearance. The heat has really ramped up over the last three weeks though, including a ten-day stretch of 90-degree weather in Boulder. Should we expect more of the same in August? Read on as we examine Boulder’s climatology and consider the current state of the atmosphere to give our outlook for the next month.
Though 2019 is only half over, it’s already been a very busy year for our team! In this post, we discuss some of the changes and new additions to BoulderCAST that have taken place so far this year.
Get ready for round two of severe weather late Friday afternoon into the evening hours with large hail the primary threat to end the week. We also discuss the weekend forecast which includes plenty of storms and the potential for more hail.
