Frost in Forecast
There was definitely a chill in the air this morning, as our temperatures dipped into the lower 40s. We will be even colder the next TWO mornings, with a chance of frost on the way!
Friday morning, we will likely see CLOUDS overhead and the WINDS will stay up a bit. This may help PREVENT a widespread frost. BUT patchy frost would still be possible, especially in our northern counties, as lows will likely be in the upper 30s.
On Saturday morning, there is a better shot at a more widespread frost! We will have clear skies and light winds... a good "radiational cooling" night! Lows will be in the middle 30s... brrrrr!
But it is NOTHING like the weather they have seen in North Dakota! Remember yesterday's entry about the winter storm? Well that storm dumped 10 to 20 inches of wet snow across the state. We aired some of the video this morning... we may just show it again during the 5 or 6pm shows, too! Here is a still shot from the AP:
An interesting statement by one of the Bismarck meteorologists:
“It is, on our records, probably one of the earliest ones, as far as our recorded history goes, in 126, 130 years,” said Sam Walker, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Bismarck.
I don't think I'm ready for snow yet!! Fall is actually my favorite season! :)
And speaking OF seasons... we are still in HURRICANE season... as it typically runs through the end of November. And you might not have even known it was around, but Tropical Storm Tammy has come and gone!
Tammy formed off the Florida east coast yesterday (Wednesday) morning... it made landfall Wednesday evening... and today is a tropical depression! Here are the latest stats:
LOCATION: OVER EXTREME SOUTHEASTERN ALABAMA, NEAR OZARK.
MOTION: TOWARD THE WEST @ 12 MPH. A CONTINUED WESTWARD MOTION WITH A DECREASE IN FORWARD SPEED IS EXPECTED TODAY UNTIL THE DEPRESSION DISSIPATES.
WINDS: 35 MPH...WITH HIGHER GUSTS
PRESSURE: 1006 MB...29.71 INCHES
It's interesting that we are already at the "T's" and we still have almost two months to go! Next is Vince, then Wilma. THEN I believe we would go to the Greek alphabet! The storms will have names like Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta... wow!!
Have a great day!

**************
A few years back we here in the KC Metro got what was called the October Surprise, 8 inches of Heavy wet snow in Late October. Just a thought and maybe it is off the wall but, just thinking. With the heat hanging on so long into october and these cold fronts and then heating back up again. Could there be another October Surprise ?
