DENVER (KDVR) -- If you have looked at the forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday, you might have noticed one thing: The Denver metro area is expected to see mainly rain or flurries with no accumulation, while other areas are slated to get significant snow accumulation.Why is that?Pinpoint Weather Meteorologist Jessica Lebel said the key is elevation.Why it is going to snow in some places and rain in others?Lebel said the higher the elevation, the colder it gets.Denver sits at around 5,280 feet above sea level, which is certainly higher than most cities across the nation. However, Lebel said to see snow in this storm, you need to be at an elevation of 6,000 feet or higher. Is Denver seeing less snow than normal? While these higher elevations can most clearly be seen in the mountains, in the area south of the metro -- between Denver and Colorado Springs -- the elevation is also higher.For example, in Monument, the elevation is just under 7,000 feet. This means that it is colder than it...

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 13:55:35 GMT

Orioles left fielder Austin Hays left Tuesday night’s game against the Boston Red Sox after the third inning with a bruised right hand, which seemingly stemmed from a failed bunt attempt in the bottom half of that frame.Initial X-rays did not show any breaks, the Orioles said, and Hays will undergo further testing.With the Orioles trailing 7-0, Hays attempted to bunt on an 88 mph sinker from Boston right-hander Corey Kluber, but the pitch tailed in and hit the fingers of Hays’ right hand, which were wrapped around the bat, before the ball went foul. Hays flied out to deep right field on the next pitch before being replaced in left by Terrin Vavra for the top of the fourth.Before Tuesday, Hays had played in the outfield for all but eight of the Orioles’ defensive innings this season, including manning left field for every frame at Camden Yards. Hays has also been among Baltimore’s most impactful hitters; his flyout left him with a .301 batting average and .883...
