The <br /> area is usually warm in the summer with frequent hot days. In winter, periods of very cold weather <br /> are caused by arctic air moving in from the north or northwest. Milder periods occur when westerly <br /> winds are warmed as they move down slope off of the mountains to the east. <br /> Weather monitoring data is not available from the site. The nearest weather monitoring station is <br /> at the National Weather Service Station at Pueblo Memorial Airport approximately 1.7 miles <br /> northwest of the site. The table below lists the average monthly temperature, and average total <br /> precipitation on a monthly and annual basis for the last thirty (30) years. Most of the precipitation <br /> occurs as rainfall during the warmer part of the year with the heaviest rainfalls in the late spring and <br /> early summer. Winter snowfall occurs but the snow cover usually melts quickly during the milder <br /> periods. <br /> Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Annual <br /> Average Monthly 31.9 HHE1HHE]HHHHE1 <br /> 53.2 <br /> Temperature (F) <br /> Average Total 0.29 HHHHHHHHHHH <br /> 12.02 <br /> Precipitation (in.) <br /> Martin Marietta Materials—Thunderbird Sand and Gravel—MLRB 112 Permit Application <br /> Exhibit K- 1 <br />
