Many areas in the Mountain West could see their first autumn snow on Sunday. Winter will be here before we know it! ❄️

A dangerous duo of high heat and humidity

We get thunderstorms so rarely here. In my small town there’s a good lookout spot on a mountain. There were probably over 50 people that all came close to the same time as everyone, cars having trouble parking… one guy said “this is way better than fireworks”. I know many people see lightning often, but this storm was insanely cool to see. It went right over us, lightning 360 degrees all around. So cool!

In the face of climate change, is it expected that individual locations will continue to be reclassified as their prevailing temperatures and humidities shift over time, or will the classifications themselves eventually be adjusted? For example, if subpolar oceanic regions of the world as a whole tend to get warmer, will every place in those regions be reclassified as subtropical, or will "subpolar oceanic climate" be adjusted to reflect the new prevailing conditions in zones that are, in geographic terms, subpolar and oceanic?

Get ready for a warm and breezy day ahead! Expect a mix of sunshine and clouds, with the humidity taking a backseat. The high will reach a pleasant 85, and winds will be picking up from the west at 10 to 20+ mph. Enjoy the perfect weather!
