KSHB: Weather: Action Weather Blog: Totally 80s!

Before we get to my forecasting thoughts... we're going to have a little FUN!!

Ok, as promised... this is the blog entry for 80s pictures of the NBC Action News Team!! We have some really good ones!

I'll go first. This first picture is from 1985-ish... when I was going through my "I want to be Madonna" phase:

Keith King took one look at this picture and started singing "Boarderline" haha! I REALLY loved that unicorn shirt... and believe it or not... that was the first day of school! I can't believe my parents actually let me out of the house looking like that!! :)

Why that was "IN"... I will never know. I remember my family used to make fun of the bangs... they were rock-solid, as I am sure many of yours were, too! ;)

Now on to some of the others... Here is Sports Anchor Michelle Loibner... also a fan of big hair:

And Anchor Keith King had some nice looking hair of his own! This first one is from his high school graduation:

And last... here are some photos of Reporter, Lisa Benson. From the looks of it... she had some fun in the 1980s! It was a happy time for her:

OK... Cynthia CLAIMS she couldn't find an 80s picture of herself... I am still on a mission to find one! ;) And I would still like to see some of YOUR totally 80s pictures, if you have them! Send them to: krumheuer@nbcactionnews.com

Now, on to the forecast! We do not expect any STORMS to affect us this week... but it is a tricky TEMPERATURE forecast. The reason: we are in a fast northwest flow pattern. You can really see it on the 700 mb (10,000 ft) chart below:

What does this mean? Well, it means that every few days we will see a weak trough move through the area. That will cool us down a bit each time it happens. But BEFORE each one moves through... we will warm up! So up-and-down will be our temperature pattern this week... with one really warm day possible (Wednesday). We are shooting for 60 degrees!

Hi Jamie. Thanks for posting the 80's pics, I really got a kick out of them! ;-) I have a Thanksgiving road trip planned to Central and Eastern Kentucky (my husband and I are originally from there and will be visiting family). I have heard about a storm hitting the Eastern part of the country around Tuesday that could bring both rain and snow. I want to know what your take is on this storm, and how far west you think it might go. We will be leaving KC Wednesday afternoon and arriving in Central Kentucky sometime very early Thursday morning. Thanks Jamie, and congratulations on your recent wedding! :-)

KOYUKI:
Thanks for posting! I am so glad you liked the pictures... I had fun doing that post! The 80s had such a funny look, don't you think?

As for the storm... if you are traveling to Kentucky on Wednesday/Thursday... you should be in good shape. Right now, it looks like Central Kentucky will be right on the EDGE of the storm. So maybe a 20% chance of rain or snow on Thanksgiving. I would check back, though, as we go through the next few days. Things have a tendency to change FAST this time of year!

Travel safe,
Jamie

RANDY:
I would also like to see old pictures of Gary! I told him about it, and he said he was going to try. Cynthia also says she is making an effort to find some of her own. She is hoping her brother can email her something this week! Stay tuned... we might have another round of 80s fun!! :)
