Pattern July

The Rockies are awesome. At Vail for example, you’ll almost always have dewpoints in the 20s-40s in the summer. Practically a guarantee. You don’t have to worry about the wx pattern. Plus the birds to see out there are a bonus. About the hottest it usually gets there are highs in the middle 80s, but typically dewpoints are then in the 20s-30s. So, it feels fantastic. Highs are only around 80 for the hottest normal and very dry!

Here are the noon readings from the central Rockies of CO, which include areas such as Aspen, Vail, Breckenridge, and Leadville: note the dewpoints being only 21-41. Aspen, which often mimics Vail, is at 80 with a dewpoint of only 29...absolutely fabulous and this is typical. You don't have to worry if the pattern will support something like this on just about any summer day with sunshine. Note that this is a solidly warmer than normal day in CO as Denver 120 miles east of there and 3K feet lower is at 93 and headed toward 100. But even there the dewpoint is all of 27.

Larry, I was only joshing with you, and tossing some hot July humor based on that silly map with the broken observation site ... ;)

I'll be heading to North Las Vegas on business next week. Highs 104-106 all week. Don't think I have ever experienced daily high temps like that, but at least the dews will be very low. I have always heard about that "dry heat" argument. So, I will let you guys know first-hand how it compares to our heat and humidity here in the Southeast.

I was in Vegas last summer, it was.... interesting

But I'm never going back in the summer lol
 
Watch this boundary over the next 30 minutes. May get some rain going in wake and maybe back into my area

Actually there are really 3 outflow boundaries to watch the one circled, a second coming north from the SC convection today and a 3rd moving SE from the severe warned storm near GSO. If we start getting done collisions and mergers this evening the radar might heat up over the next 30-90 minutes

I have been getting a nice storm at the house for the last 30 minutes. Lots of loud thunder, rain, and some decent wind gusts. The trend continues for storms at my house to be stronger when I am not under a watch or an elevated risk.

Was this down at the airport?

Newnan's airport (not ATL).

Made it to 90*F today before storms developed earlier this afternoon.

Also, so much for the forecast yesterday, lol. The night before, the call was for Mostly Sunny skies and we ended up getting a heavy rain shower around 4pm. Other parts of Metro Atlanta had strong/severe t'storms.
