The mercury climbed to 88 degrees at 3:03pm today. This sets a new record for the date, breaking the old record of 87 degrees set in 2000. Here in Thornton we matched Denver’s official temperature with 88 degrees as well.

ThorntonWeather.com announces Severe Weather Awareness Week contest
As the nation’s midsection digs out from an extraordinary day of severe weather and tornadoes, Colorado’s Severe Weather Awareness Week kicks off. To raise awareness of the dangerous weather Thornton residents face each year, ThorntonWeather.com is going to give away a NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio *.
We have long said that every resident should own a weather radio. These devices tap directly into the National Weather Service and sound an alarm when severe weather is approaching. Life saving information and instructions are then broadcast giving you the precious moments that you may have to take action before disaster strikes.
To help raise awareness of severe weather and these devices, we are giving away a Midland WR-120B weather radio. The radio has all of the essential features including SAME alert programming, a siren and voice alert, battery backup and it is trilingual.
It is our goal that even if you don’t win the radio, you will take action and purchase a weather radio on your own. To learn more about these important devices and why you should own one, click here.
So how do you win? It is easy!
All you have to do is share our Facebook page or Google+ page with all of your friends telling them how great a resource ThorntonWeather.com is and ask them to ‘like’ us or add us to their ‘circles.’
Simply follow the links below and click ‘Share’ if on Facebook or ‘Share this post’ on Google+. Be sure to do this from the postings linked below so that we can see that you shared it and in doing so you are automatically entered.
We will then randomly pick a winner on Monday, April 23 after Severe Weather Awareness Week is over.

City of Thornton announces emergency alert system for residents
Sitting at the western edge of tornado alley, the Denver metro area is home to severe weather of all forms. In an effort to keep residents aware of the dangers Mother Nature brings every year, the City of Thornton is set to roll out an email alert system.
It has been nearly 31 years since the most destructive tornado to strike the Denver area tore through the city of Thornton. In the intervening time between now and then, it is ironic that neither Thornton nor Adams County deployed any sort of alert system for its residents beyond Reverse 911.
Seeking to correct that lapse, Thornton’s Office of Emergency Management presented a significant enhancement to the city’s T-Alert system to city council at a planning session last night.
T-Alert is the existing email subscription system for Thornton residents that can keep them up to date with everything from traffic to trash services to recreational opportunities. Now, emergency management announcements will be added to the service.
Emergency Manager Gene Putman explained that with the proliferation of email on mobile devices like cellular phones, the system will allow the city to send out warnings to residents in a matter of seconds. The system was tested during the February snowstorms and was a resounding success.
Dispatches can be sent out by the city’s emergency management personnel or in an urgent situation, the new 911 center. Spanish translations to the messages will also be included in the emails.
Putman said, “Within 30 seconds of a warning being issued by the National Weather Service we can have that critical information out to residents.”
Uses for the emergency management service will include obvious items such as tornado watches and warnings and severe hail or flooding. Also thrown into the mix will be important announcements about major snow events, hazardous material spills and other types of civil alerts.

- PDF: City of Thornton Emergency Management Tmail Brochure
Jack Ethredge, City Manager, is no stranger to disasters having served as Emergency Manager along the Gulf Coast during two hurricanes. He told council the system gives the city an “important, broader way to communicate.”
While the new system will help to keep residents safe, officials also remind residents that they must take responsibility for their own safety as well and stay aware of developing weather. Local news media should be monitored and residents should own a NOAA All Hazards Radio.
- Note: In addition to the city’s alert system, you can subscribe to ThorntonWeather.com’s alert system. We believe the two systems will complement each other. Our system provides all watches and warnings from the National Weather Service while the city’s will maintain a focus on the major events.
Thornton also continues to improve and refine its disaster preparedness as a city government.
Emergency management personnel are receiving important training on disaster response and new emergency procedures are being developed all city employees.
When disaster strikes, the speed and accuracy of a response is essential and Emergency Investigation Area Teams have been created to aid on this front. Each team will be comprised of personnel from key city departments. These teams will be responsible for one of six Emergency Investigation Areas and when needed, will be deployed to document a situation and provide direction.
March 2012 goes into the Denver weather history books on a number of marks
The month of March in Denver is typically known for its snow and corresponding chilly temperatures. That however was certainly not the case for March 2012 as the Mile High City saw one of its warmest and driest Marches on record.
From the start of the month to the end, March’s temperatures were well above normal. While we would normally see days with temperatures in the 50s, we instead saw 70s and even a couple of 80+ degree days.
The historical overall average temperature for the month of March is 40.4 degrees (based on 1981 to 2010 normals). March 2012’s average of 49.2 degrees was an astonishing 8.8 degrees above normal.
This sends the month into the record books as the second warmest March ever recorded in Denver. The number one spot is held by March 1910 which saw an average of 50.4 degrees.
Here in Thornton, we were actually slightly warmer than the official Denver measuring station at DIA. Our monthly average temperature came in at 49.6 degrees.
Individually, six days set or tied high temperature records for Denver:
- 74 degrees on March 13 which tied the old record of 74 set in 2007 and previous years
- 75 degrees on March 16 which broke the old record of 74 set just one year ago in 2011
- 76 degrees on March 17 which broke the old record of 75 set in 1974
- 76 degrees on March 23 which tied the old record of 76 set in 1967
- 75 degrees on March 25 which tied the old record of 75 set in 1998 and previous years
- 81 degrees on March 31 which broke the old record of 80 set in 1946
In terms of precipitation, March 2012 will now hold the marks for the driest and least snowiest on record.
The rain bucket at Denver International Airport saw a mere 0.03 inch of liquid precipitation. This was far below the average of 0.92 inch and easily puts March 2012 into the books as the number one driest March on record. The previous record holder was 1908 when 0.11 inch was recorded.
March is historically Denver’s snowiest month averaging 10.7 inches. This year the month only brought a trace of snow on three days. The previous least snowiest March occurred in 1883 when 0.3 inch of the white stuff was recorded.
Just like Denver, Thornton saw an extraordinary lack of snow and precipitation. We as well recorded 0.03 inch of precipitation but we did manage to record 0.40 inch of snow, all on the morning of the 2nd.

Sunday brings another record day; March 2012 likely to go into record books
Another unseasonably mild day led to another high temperature record being tied on Sunday. As the unseasonably warm weather continues, March 2012 is almost certain to go into the record books on a number of marks.
The temperature at Denver International Airport reached 75 degrees at 4:05pm Sunday afternoon. This tied the record high temperature for the date last set in 1998. This is far and above the normal for the date of 57 degrees.
Here in Thornton we were a bit cooler and reached a high temperature of 72.3 degrees.
The record-tying mark is the fifth time so far this month that the record high temperature was tied or broken. Other days with record highs this month:
- 76 degrees on March 23, which tied the old record of 76 set in 1967
- 76 degrees on March 17, which broke the old record of 75 set in 1974
- 75 degrees on March 16, which broke the old record of 74 set just one year ago in 2011
- 74 degrees on March 13, which tied the old record of 74 set in 2007 and previous years
Officially Denver has recorded only a trace of snow this month and a scant 0.03 inch of precipitation. Given the forecast for the coming week, it is likely the month will end with those totals. If it does, March 2012 will go into the history books as the least snowiest and driest March on record.
In terms of temperatures, Denver’s overall average temperature for the month so far is at 47.0 degrees. That would put the month in a tie for the fourth warmest March on record. However with temperatures expected to remain unseasonably warm through the week, there is a good chance we will climb the ‘top 10’ list even further.
Interactive map of snowfall totals across northeastern Colorado, February 2-4, 2012
Thornton residents have begun digging out from the major winter storm that deposited an extraordinary amount of snow on the city. In the end, the storm will go into the record books as the biggest February snowstorm in Denver history.
Here is Thornton we recorded 13.8″ of snowfall and that was actually one of the lower totals across northeastern Colorado. It was however our biggest snowstorm since October 2009.
As officially recorded at Denver International Airport, Denver recorded 15.9 inches of snow from the storm system. This handily broke the old single storm February record of 14.1 inches set in 1912.
Further, February 2012 now enters the history books as the 10th snowiest February ever recorded in Denver. With more than three weeks to go, it is possible we will climb the top 10 list even further.
The 12.5″ DIA saw yesterday set a new single day record for February 3rd beating the old record for the date of 9.5″ set in 1932. This also is the biggest single day snowfall total ever recorded in Denver during February.

Time lapse video of Thornton’s February 2012 snowstorm
The snow has moved out and the sun will be shining soon as residents begin digging out from a record-setting snowstorm. Here is Thornton we recorded 13.8″ of snowfall and that was actually one of the lower totals across northeastern Colorado. It was however Thornton’s biggest snowstorm since October 2009 when we recorded 14.1″ from a late month event.
Snow began falling Thursday evening and continued through the night, all through the day Friday and into Saturday morning. By this morning most of the metro area was only seeing a few flakes falling and by the end of the day the sun will return.
Below is a time lapse video from our east facing webcam. It covers from 4:00pm on Thursday, February 2 to 6:00am on Saturday, February 4 compressing that period into a little more than one minute.

Thornton sees beautiful sunset, unusual cloud formations
The past week has brought some beautiful sunrises and sunsets to the Colorado Front Range. The evening of Thursday, January 5, 2012 was no exception as Thornton was treated to an amazing display.
Wave clouds are formed by atmospheric ‘waves’ of wind flowing up and down mountains. Here in Colorado we have had a pretty consistent wave cloud hovering over the Denver metro area this past week.
On Thursday evening, this cloud was present and lit up in shades of orange and red as the sun set behind the Rocky Mountains. What made the beautiful scene amazing was an unusual circular formation in the bottom of the cloud.

2011 Thornton weather recap: Year brings normal temperatures, plenty of precipitation
With 2011 now behind us we can look back at the year in weather and in doing so we note that it wasn’t a particularly eventful one. Temperatures were very close to average for the year and while it was a wet one, there weren’t any events that will remain emblazoned in our memories.
In terms of temperatures, the year saw an average temperature of 50.6 degrees as recorded at Denver’s official monitoring station at Denver International Airport. This was a negligible 0.1 degrees above normal. Thornton was slightly cooler with an average of 49.8 degrees.
Denver recorded 50 days of 90 degree or warmer temperatures but failed to reach the 100 degree mark at all. Three days including July 4th, July 31st and August 25th hit 99 degrees. Thornton saw 44 90 degree or warmer days during the year and only one hit 99 degrees (July 4th).
The mercury dipped below zero on 12 days at DIA with the coldest temperature of -17 degrees occurring on February 2nd. Here in Thornton we recorded 10 days below zero with the coldest reading coming on February 2nd when we dropped to -14.7 degrees.
While temperatures were not particularly notable, we did managed to record much more precipitation than normal. In all, DIA saw 17.31 inches which was 2.39 inches above the normal of 14.92. Thornton bested Denver’s number with 18.80 inches during the year.
The first quarter of the year saw precipitation readings slightly below normal. Then in May, the skies opened up and Denver received 4.79 inches of rain – far above the normal for the month of 2.15 inches. Most of this fell with two storms systems, one on the 11th and 12th and a second on the 17th and 18th.
Thornton as well saw a wet May as 5.67 inches fell into our rain bucket. Much of that occurred in the 24 hours leading up to the city’s annual ThorntonFest resulting in flooding at the Multipurpose Fields and forcing the cancellation of the festival.
June and July brought more wet weather and above normal precipitation. The monsoons during the first half of July brought rain on 9 out of 10 days from the 5th to the 14th and the month recorded 3.20 inches overall.
Here again Thornton was the recipient of even more rain as we recorded 5.51 inches during the month. One nighttime storm did provide not only rain but a decent lightning show and another resulted in flooding in the southern part of the city.
The last half of July and all of August were quite dry and followed by a relatively average September. October once again brought above normal precipitation, November followed with drier than normal conditions and December was wetter than average.
For the calendar year, Denver received 47.5 inches of snowfall. The biggest storm occurred on October 26th when 8.0 inches of snow fell. Thornton was slightly snowier as we received 51.0 inches of snow during 2011.

December 2011 Thornton weather recap: A cold and snowy close to the year
Thornton closed out 2011 with a month that while not necessarily historical, brought significant weather to the area. Snow was one of the bigger stories as we piled up a good bit of the white stuff and temperatures were below normal for the month.
December 2011 came in like a lion as a cold front and associated upper level storm arrived during the first week of the month. Denver International Airport recorded 9.2 inches of snow during the period while here in Thornton we saw 10.7 inches. Temperatures were a bone chilling 17.2 degrees below normal during that time.
The middle of the month saw the weather moderate and return to more seasonal conditions. Temperatures overall however remained slightly below average.
With the third week of the month we saw another snowstorm arrive on the 21st and 22nd. Denver recorded 7.3 inches of snow. Thornton once again saw higher totals as we measured 9.1 inches.
The constant snow cover kept temperatures down through the first few weeks of the month and for a time it looked like the month could make it into the books as one of the coldest on record. A late month warming trend however changed that situation.
In the end, December 2011’s average temperature was 26.6 degrees. While this was 3.4 degrees below normal, it pushed the month out of ‘top 10 coldest’ contention.
The snow during the month, while also not record setting, was significant. Denver wrapped up December with 16.5 inches – nearly double the 8.5 inch December average. For the season to date we stood at 29.5 inches giving us a good start toward the 53.5 inch seasonal average.
In terms of precipitation, 0.78 inches was recorded in Denver which was 0.47 inch above normal.
At DIA, temperatures ranged from a high of 58 degrees on the 18th down to a low of -5 degrees on the 6th. Thornton saw similar marks with a high of 59.7 degrees, also on the 18th, and a low of -6.5 degrees on the 6th.
Mother Nature did close out the month and 2011 with a significant windstorm across northeastern Colorado. The New Year’s Eve event saw DIA record a 59mph wind gust and Thornton saw 45mph. Many other areas saw much higher speeds – click here for a summary of the event.
