Moab Weather And More
Ah the weather. Ask me if I thought that I have to be a weather forecaster when I started Red River Adventures and my answer would have been a resounding NO. That however is not the case. I am constantly asked about the weather. From the “what’s it like in (month you’re visiting Moab here) to will it rain tomorrow? As it turns out, the weather is a large part of what I talk about. I’ve got to admit that my weather geekiness goes quite deep and back in fact to my childhood. I grew up on the East Coast and surfed. Weather systems are what makes waves in the east, so early on when not in the water I could be found watching the Weather Chanel and listening to the NOAA radio for the latest updates. Now that I ski, climb, and raft weather plays a huge role in what I do and when.
So besides looking out the window, here are some of the places I look at to figure out what the weather in Moab is going to be like:
- The first and best place for Moab weather and your local forecast is the National Weather Service. Simply type in your zip code and you’ll get to everything you need from the “at a glance” forecast to radar to my personal favorite, satellite imagery. The 4k infrared loop gives you a great idea of what’s coming and how strong what’s coming is. I’ll often look at this and local radar to get a handle on rain and snow.
- After looking at what’s coming at me I will always read the forecast discussion. The discussion is the raw version of the forecast and it offers a great look into what the folks at the NWS are actually thinking. It’s the regional head forecaster’s best guess at what happens, when, and why. A forecast of the forecast type of thing. Timing of storms is often discussed as well as the forecaster’s opinion on whether what the weather models are showing is accurate in their opinion.
- Lastly, if something important is on the calendar starting a week and a half out I will check Weather.com for the 10-day Moab weather forecast. Sometimes very accurate, and sometimes not so much, and this should definitely be taken with a grain of salt.
