I was unaware of that particular book.

Notice that the October precip max seems to show up secondarily in the areas that have an overall spring max (and vice-versa), although neither of these maxima is really apparent in the areas that are dominated by either winter or by summer monsoon precipitation. So the spring and fall maxima seem to be somewhat related at least in terms of their geographic distribution. My suspicion is that closed lows are a huge factor, with the addition (during the fall season) of monsoon moisture or tropical system remnants.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02814313368731066590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6168620747792092240.post-79111382004837081772015-10-06T11:31:51.248-06:002015-10-06T11:31:51.248-06:00Jim, this is not the first time that I've hear...Jim, this is not the first time that I've heard of a precipitation maximum in Fall in eastern Utah. As a young man trying quench my thirst for weather knowledge, I bought a copy of "Skywatch: The Western Weather Guide" by Richard Keen, Copyright 1987. (Great book, by the way, for a young meteorologist.) I pulled it off my shelf just now and found a map of the West that color-codes the season of greatest precipitation. The map is much cruder (probably hand-drawn) than the one from your paper, but indeed it shows that northeastern Utah, northwestern Colorado, and southwestern Wyoming observe the greatest precipitation in Fall. I emailed a picture of the map to you since I don't think that I can post graphics here. So yes, apparently there was a detectable signal of this phenomenon even 30+ years ago.<br /><br />--Brian OlsenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6168620747792092240.post-33473376198200010522015-10-06T10:03:54.906-06:002015-10-06T10:03:54.906-06:00Oh No. Now all the wierdos in Sedona are going to ...Oh No. Now all the wierdos in Sedona are going to head for Moab.Bubbanoreply@blogger.com
