Can Denver go from 90 degrees to 1st freeze?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:38:22 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — While it may still be hot out, the first freeze isn't too far away. FOX31 spoke with Pinpoint Weather Meteorologist Travis Michels about the chances of Denver experiencing a first freeze in early September. There's always a chance it could freeze in the first weeks of September. Three years ago on Sept. 8, Denver experienced one of the earliest first freezes in history, and it wasn't particularly a cool year. Three days prior on Sept. 5, Denver hit a record high of 101 degrees, according to the National Weather Service. What to expect for Denver’s weather this September Sept. 5, 2020, is looking fairly similar to Sept. 5, 2023, when it comes to the heat. Denver is having highs in the 90s throughout early September. But the years are still quite different, and so are the first frost times. While the weather in 2023 seems just as hot as in 2020, it's actually cooler this year. But the cooler temperatures aren't cold enough for the first freeze. The first freeze isn'...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:38:22 GMT

The true story behind Qatargate, the corruption probe at the European Parliament, will emerge one day, one of the chief investigators said. Michel Claise, a Belgian investigating judge who recused himself from the probe in June, made the prediction as he took aim at unnamed people and media outlets for distorting the real nature of the case.“Everything is in the file, the truth is found there, and not elsewhere, not in the television studios nor in certain magazines. And the truth will explode one day in the face of those manipulators who try very simply to distort it,” Claise told RTBF’s radio station La Première Wednesday. Asked about death threats he’s received and an apparent break-in at his home, Claise said an investigation was underway.Claise refused to answer a question about why he stepped back from the Qatargate case over the summer. His recusal came after the lawyer of one of the suspects, Belgian MEP Marc Tarabella, revealed that Claise’s son Nich...
