Lenticular pileus "cap" clouds over a rising storm east of Greeley, Colorado. There is a 2 lanehighway through the high plains, still somewhat green.

Quite the moisture gradient (theta-e tongue?) out there today. A 47°F dewpoint spread between DIA and Greeley!

You may think this is just a fox until:
*Sproing* go the big furry ears.

This is the aptly-named BAT-EARED FOX (Otocyon megalotis), native to the African savannah.

The Latin name means "dog-ear big-ears" & she's very sensitive about it, so NO GOSSIPING (she can hear you from a continent away).

Had a paper to review and there were so many prior studies doing the same but better. And reviews of all those prior studies.

Tragically there has been a 2nd death.

Phew, missed out on that, thank goodness.

Whoa! Dew points just jumped 25° in 17 minutes (37° to 62°) at DIA just now as that boundary moved through.

Incredible! That outflow boundary just pulled in some Gulf moisture from the east.

They aren't fun when they fall on your face at night when they get too cold.

Ask me how I know (from my Aussie friends)

The wind was wild out there tonight. So much dust too.
