Brace Yourself...
Is it really November? With mid and upper 70s in the forecast the next few days... it might be a little hard to believe! As high pressure slips to our east, and a storm develops to our west... a stronger PRESSURE GRADIENT will form over Kansas and Missouri.
That means it's going to be a little windy!
The winds will be in out of the South-Southwest... as illustrated below:

Air flows counter-clockwise around Low pressure, and clockwise around High pressure... and we will be in between the two on Monday, increasing our winds!
We expect dry and warm conditions until Wednesday. Then a cold front will come through... dropping temperatures a bit. Right now, it looks like it will come through DRY... but we will keep an eye on it through the week!
Have a great week!

Would you say it's harder to forecast winter precipitation or summer precipitation? (i.e., summer thunderstorms or winter snows?)You guys are always so pleasant!!
MELANIE:
It is harder to forecast winter precipiation for sure. For summer thunderstorms, we need moisture, instability and lift.
For winter snows, there is another variable thrown into the mix... temperature. Often, we can be on the dividing line between snow and rain... which can make it difficult to forecast. Plus, we not only have to look at temperatures at the SURFACE... but also those ALOFT, way above our heads. It might be warmer up there, and colder just at the surface... making for a freezing rain or sleet event. These are all things to watch, when winter forecasting!

Hi Jamie
It is great to have you back. So, what is your married name now? Those pixs were great. I can't believe the So Cal weather? I moved out here 3 years ago to get married and get away from boring weather..ha!

RANDY:
Hello, and thanks for the nice comments! It is good to be back in the swing of things after the best two weeks of my life! My married name is Jarosik. I haven't switched it over just yet, but I will soon. Also, I haven't decided if I will use the new name on air, as it might confuse people. What do you think??
Yes, Southern CA is getting hit... and they did last year, too, remember all the rain? It's supposed to be more exciting HERE!! :) The same thing happened to me, the year I moved from Dayton to KC... Dayton got record snowfall and it was pretty quiet here. Sigh.

Hi
I am usually a tradionalist when it comes to wives their married names, but I think your maiden name looks and sounds better for being on air..
Just my opinion..ha!
