Record warmth
Above you can see the broad ridge aloft over the United States. This is the forecast for Wednesday at noon. We will be making a serious run at Thursday's record high of 82. I think we will break it.
Then, the jet stream strengthens across the northern half of the country making the forecast after Friday very difficult.

Is there a chance of rain in the near future, or does the pattern seem to remain dry?
KINLEY:
There is a SLIGHT (about at 20%) chance of rain on Saturday, as a storm develops over Kansas and Missouri. However, the storm doesn't really get going until it is East of Kansas City. Thus the slim chance for us. There is a better chance of rain, say, over towards Chillicothe, Carrollton and Columbia.

So with us starting out this warm in November does this mean we will have a pretty warm winter? It seems to me from the last few years we have been getting a lot more days in the 60s and 70s in November. Is it just me or do you see the same trend?

This is kind of off the subject. What is that big, bright star in the southwest just after dusk? It's been there for several weeks.
Hi, Kraig:
That big bright star you are referring to is most likely a planet!
In the western sky this month, Venus is the brightest object... that is probably what you're seeing!
In the eastern sky... Mars will be the brightest object... although it will fade slowly this month and into December.
A *great* website for stargazers is the Astronomical Society of Victoria... you can check out their summary of the night sky here:

Just click on "Night Sky This Month" on the left-hand side!
Hope that helps!

As I recall during the Month of October there was 2 periods where the temps went to 80 degrees or above. Now if this is in agreement with Gary's weather pattern it will warm up for 2 to 3 days at a time. Im not saying 80's in the winter time no no. I think that lower 60's could be possible a few times this winter. This thinking scares me because I think that it is possible that a pocket of warmer air could get sandwhiched between two layers of cold sub freezing air resulting in freezing rain and maybe an ice storm. Any snows we do get this winter I think will be wet heavy snows. There could be some big flakes this winter, Oh what was that condition called ? I forget. (banging head on computer desk). I question the amount of snow this winter. I think it could be under 20 inches. I think more cold and possibly freezing rain is more possible than snows. Sure there will be a snow storm or a few but I think rains are more likely.

Gary, this warm weather has been nice, but I'm looking forward to some snow and cold. Are there any "cold" fronts coming soon?

What do you make the near normal or slightly below normal sea surface temps of the Gulf of Alska and its impacts? Also do you think the fact that the Hudson Bay is much warmer that normal will ave an effect and if so what, or is it one of those things we really wont know till after winter.
