More record-setting heat; Waldo Canyon Fire consumes 15,000 acres

Posted by: Angela Fritz, 7:17 PM GMT on June 27, 2012

+36

Tuesday's heat toppled many records in the Central U.S., particularly in Colorado, Nebraska, and Kansas. On Monday and Tuesday combined, 11 locations tied or broke their all-time record high temperature, 78 locations broke their all-time record high for the month of June, and 382 daily high records fell. Some notable Tuesday records from our Weather Historian:

115° in McCook, Nebraska is the all-time record for any month. The old records for site are 114° 7/20/1932 and for June 112° 6/5/1933—both set in the heat waves of the 1930s. Yesterday's 115° at Mc Cook also broke the all-time Nebraska state June record of 114° which was set in Franklin in 1936.

105° in Denver, Colorado, ties Monday's all-time record, and ties the 5-day record for number of days above 100°.

101° in Colorado Springs, Colorado is the all-time undisputed record high for any month.

111° in Miles City, Montana is the all-time high for any month.

111° in Lamar, Colorado tied that all-time heat record in any month.

115° in Hill City, Kansas is the new June record, but fell short of all-time 117° reading, and one degree short of Kansas state June record.

110° in Dodge City, Kansas ties the all-time high for any month, which was just set last June.

Wheat Ridge, Colorado (103°) and Cedar Bluff Dam, Kansas (110°) also tied their all-time record highs on Tuesday. Our Weather Historian Christopher C. Burt, who mused that this heat wave is starting to shape up like the record setting heat waves of the 1930s, will have a full-length post on this week's incredible heat wave on Friday. Today the heat shifts eastward, with eastern Iowa and northwest Illinois in an excessive heat watch, and eastern Kansas and western Missouri in an excessive heat warning. St. Louis could start to see 100°+ today, and Chicago will likely have their warmest day on Thursday. This heat wave will reach the eastern U.S. by Friday.

Waldo Canyon Fire engulfs parts of Colorado Springs

Firefighters are "on the offensive" on Wednesday as they fight the Waldo Canyon Fire, which started Saturday afternoon for reasons unknown. The fire is 5% contained as of Wednesday afternoon, though firefighters are using triage protocol, according to the AP, to save the homes that they are able to save. 30,000 people have fled their homes on Wednesday as the fire grew to over 15,000 acres. The region remains in a red flag warning as conditions continue to be unfavorable for fighting both this and the High Park fire, which continues to burn west of Fort Collins. Humidity is expected to remain around or less than 10%, and winds could gust up to 50 mph.

Figure 1. The Waldo Canyon Fire as seen on Wundermap, which is burning just northwest of Colorado Springs, and is 5% contained. This fire has engulfed over 15,000 acres since it began on Saturday, as firefighters try to fight the blaze under weather conditions favorable for wildfires.

Debby Says Farewell

Tropical Depression Debby is in the Atlantic and moving further out to sea and rainfall is winding down. Over the past week, Debby has dropped more than 20 inches of rain over northern Florida, and widespread amounts of 10+ inches as far south as Port Charlotte. While still classified as tropical, Debby seems to be losing her tropical characteristics as it merges with the frontal boundary that guided it across Florida. The depression continues to be hammered by westerly wind shear, and could be classified as post-tropical or dissipate all together soon.

Figure 2. Rainfall accumulation over the past 7 days as of June 27. Debby has dropped more than 20 inches of rain over northern Florida, and widespread amounts of 10+ inches as far south as Port Charlotte. Image modified from NWS.

Meantime, in the main development region of the Atlantic, the National Hurricane Center is giving an African easterly wave a 10% chance of developing into a tropical cyclone over the next 48 hours. This is the first main development region activity we've seen so far this season, though its peak usually doesn't happen until later in the Summer and early Fall. This wave is producing some thunderstorm activity which is visible on satellite, and it appears to have moderate mid-level circulation. Wind shear in the region is relatively low, only 10-15 knots, and the wave is moving into a more favorable wind shear zone, which will remain until it reaches the Lesser Antilles. The moisture in and around this wave is also relatively low. I would also put this wave's probability of development at minimal over the next few days.

Quoting RTSplayer: Anyone got any theories about why this "cool" patch exists between the Gomex and the UK and Finland, while it's bounded to the north and south by larger patches of insanely hotter than average waters? Does the sheen from the BP Oil Spill have anything to do with this, or was that diluted to much to matter over the past two years? I have no direct evidence for this but I am going to take a flyer on this question anyway. Summer runoff from Arctic glaciers is well above normal this year creating an unusually large supply of water just above freezing. Could this plug of water get pulled into the thermohaline circulation belt and create an anomalously cold region in the middle of the Atlantic? Just a guess.

Quoting RussianWinter: I'll be watching the yellow circle tonight, this thing gets a little stronger day by day. What does a strong El Nino does to winter though? I believe an el nino winter would be warmer and dryer for the northern US and and wetter and cooler for the southern US. For hurricane season, el nino decreases activity in the tropical Atlantic with high wind shears. Member Since: September 24, 2005 Posts: 0 Comments: 39

571. Bobbyweather 7:22 AM GMT on June 28, 2012
Hello. I see that Debby is no longer a tropical cyclone.. but you never know, it might regenerate if the convection develops close to the center and is not attached to a front. Also, the area of interest in the Central Atlantic looks not that bad. I think invest status is likely in the next 24~36 hours or possibly sooner. According to the image below, the probability of this AOI forming is near 0.2%. So is post-Debby. Anyways, it might be cool if the fifth storm forms before the start of July.

572. Bobbyweather 7:26 AM GMT on June 28, 2012
Also, this looks kind of interesting, it can prove that ex-Debby has a very slim chance of reformation. How many damage and fatalities has Debby caused in Florida? Member Since: September 7, 2006 Posts: 88 Comments: 2470

573. Tribucanes 7:42 AM GMT on June 28, 2012
Four confirmed fatalities linked to Debby so far. Debby was cancelled by NHC a little early, but after the debacle of Debby forecast to Texas, I'm guessing they know what they're talking about this time. I really thought Debby was catching up to her energy ejected east and could strengthen, but NHC is saying........."No soup for you!" Member Since: April 18, 2012 Posts: 0 Comments: 1636

Quoting hydrus: Imagine living in Western Cuba that year..Geez o pete.. I couldn't imagine living here in 1886! Texas had four hurricanes that year and 2 of them hit Sabine Pass. Hurricane one and hurricane 10. Hurricane 10 was a major and a a rare October storm for us. Hurricane 8 came in south TX. But the worst was hurricane 5 that literally wiped Indianola off the map. Forever! Indianola's residents relocated farther inland after the storm; the old town's ruins sit just offshore under 15 feet of water in Matagorda Bay. The storm ended the rivalry between Galveston and Indianola as the chief port of Texas. With the abandonment of Indianola and the unwillingness of the former residents to rebuild close to shore, Galveston became the most important Texan port until the 1900 Galveston Hurricane led to the rise of Houston as a major port. I don't know what was going on in 1886 but I don't wanna see it again. Member Since: August 24, 2010 Posts: 0 Comments: 3887

morning the catl wave looks a little better this morning but continues to be an area of disorganised showers and thunder showers. like in most systems so far this year ,there a a number of vortices spinning around a not too broad an area of low pressure. both the 700mb and 850mb vorticity levels are weak indicating that this system will take sometime to organise. what is going for this wave is the abundance of moisture which it is engulfed in and the low wind shear. there is also good convergence and divergence. the disturbed area has been able to nullify the effects of the dry air ahead of it as it continues westward. the wave is still far away and will have enough time to watch it.
