Is Denver in a “false fall”?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:16:10 GMT

When a cold snap hit the Front Range in early August, many people thought fall had come ahead of schedule, only for the summer heat to return.With lower temperatures teasing the Front Range once again, the question becomes: “Is Denver in ‘false fall’ or is the weather here to stay?”“False fall” isn’t a real meteorological term, but a local reference to a cold snap that comes near the end of summer and fools people into believing the fall weather will come early. It falls right between “fire season” and “second summer.”Now, with a week of temperature highs in the mid-70s ahead, National Weather Service meteorologist Bernie Meier says the season is here to stay — for real this time.And after several heat-driven weeks with above-average temperatures and below-average precipitation in Denver, the arrival of fall weather is more than welcome.“We won’t see much more of those hot summer-time temperatures,&#...

Julie Gonzales‘ case.Gonzales, a Denver Democrat, garnered widespread attention last month when she outlined her frustrating experience with Colorado’s largest towing operator. The legislator, who helped write Colorado’s “Towing Bill of Rights” law last year, said she parked for a few hours in a north Denver parking lot connected to a mixed-use development. She posted pictures of the signs in the lot, which read “no overnight parking.”But just after 8 p.m., Gonzales said her car had been towed.It then took her hours, she said, to retrieve her car from Wyatts’ lot. And the towing carrier, pointedly, did not offer her the chance to pay 15% of her fees or $60 to get her vehicle back immed...

School Board President Joseph Komrosky said at the time.Newsom publicly blasted the Board’s vote and threatened to fine the district $1.5 million.
