This has been a straaaaange year indeed.

My weather station recorded a high of 99* for today. Monday should be in the 90's, and Tuesday has a forecast high of 37*.

This is the first time for us that Winter has come "early". The in-laws told us today it hasn't snowed in September since 2000!

In Colorado, believe the weather guessers whether prediction matches what you see out the window. In this case, I fervently hope they are correct.

HAH! When I was doing the shipboard weather radar stuff, the company that built the new equipment gave us all the technical documents, and several copies of the book "Weather Radar for Meteorologists". Every chapter lead off with a quote or tip about weather forecasting, and the one I always remembered was "NEVER Make a Forecast With Your Back to the Window!".

They're forecasting a 90% chance of precipitation, and in the 3 years we've been here, when they call 90%, you WILL get rain. Let's just hope it's enough to cool things down, and wet the dry stuff enough that it won't ignite.

This is turning into the High Park fire all over again. I can see from the mandatory evac areas that it looks like they expect it to follow the canyons.

Maybe a pounding rain will deal with the wildland fire problem.

At this point that is the only way.
