New Record High Temperature for Tuesday Likely And New High Temp For November Possible

ArvadaWX — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 12:04:56 +0000

The record high temperature for today is 74 which we will probably easily break and the record high for the month of November is 80 which we could see topped as well. With a high temp at ArvadaWX yesterday of 77.6 the probability of temp’s in excess of 80 degree’s are most likely. The down side of this unusually warm weather and very little moisture and very low dew point is the fire danger along the Front Range and in the Foothills, so lets hope and pray that the winds don’t pickup. There is a change coming overnight Wednesday so watch for temp’s to drop. It is still to early to tell what if any moisture will come along with the chill.

Sundays Weather Will Be Much Like Yesterday, Rain And Snow Possible Monday

ArvadaWX — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 12:49:35 +0000

Yesterday’s forecast and model’s called for rain showers this afternoon with a change to rain/snow mix tonight into tomorrow. Well that forecast has changed due to the moisture decidingto go to the south of our forecast area, big surprise right! Now we are looking at a 20% chance of rain/snow mix later tonight, and an increase to 50% chance of rain/snow Monday with a forecast high temperature Monday of 40 degree’s. At this point it looks like new snow accumulation of less than a half inch is expected, but I remind you that this is Colorado and you need to be prepared for winter weather at all times. Monday night the chance of percipitation drops to 30 % with a forecast low of 28.

Fall Back One Hour and Replace Your Smoke Detector Batteries

ArvadaWX — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 22:09:41 +0000

Very few people will forget to set their clocks back tonight but many who have good intentions will forget to replace the batteries in their smoke detectors. There are many excuses used for not completing this simple task, from forgetting to buy batteries to not liking to here it beep. The Fact is Smoke Detectors save lives and reduce damage to property by early warning. The batteries don’t cost much and smoke detectors can be purchased very inexpensively so PLEASE make sure you have smoke detectors and that they are working properly. Many times Fire Department personnel will find smoke detectors in building’s where there have been fires without batteries in them. If you don’t like the beeping noise every now and then quit burning dinner. If You have elderly neighbors who can’t change the batteries or don’t have a working smoke detector buy them one and but it up for them or if they need you to replace batteries do it. Many area Fire Departments are more than happy to help you with questions you might have about best placement of your detector or any other smoke detector questions, and some will provide and install a detector for the elderly or handicapped.

If you forget to set your clock back an hour what is the worst that could happen? Maybe you would be on time for a change or you could be waiting for a football game that won’t come on for another hour. You know you will get that extra hour of sleep if you remember to set your clock back an hour. But what if You forget the batteries?
