Watch the Winter Forecast on NBC Action News Monday at 10 p.m.
Good Sunday bloggers! Our day is off to a great start with sunshine and cold and crisp temperatures. The good news today is the temperatures should warm very quickly into the 50s. As we have been talking about mid 50s look good in most spots. If clouds arrive sooner then it will be a few degrees cooler.
I'm excited that it is going to be nice today since I am going to my first ever Chiefs game! Hopefully the Chiefs blow out the Bills because I can only stay until halftime:) I need to be back to work by 3 p.m. to get the forecast and graphics ready for the 5 p.m. show. I love football so it should be a good time.
Later today a cold front will begin nearing the region. Some clouds will likely arrive anywhere from mid afternoon thru this evening. The clouds could produce a few showers or sprinkles southeast of the metro. The chance is only about 20-30% in areas like Warrensburg, Sedalia, Marshall, and Clinton. I think Kansas City stays dry at this moment.
The cold front will push through this evening and clear the viewing area tonight. Behind the front highs will fall back to the 40s for Monday and Tuesday. The air isn't arctic behind the front, so it shouldn't be a huge change.
The forecast for Thanksgiving and the holiday weekend is still up in the air. A storm system will head into the south-central Plains by Thursday or Friday. This could bring us rain and if enough cold air moves in a chance of some snowflakes. Since the models really have been all over the place I haven't changed the forecast much around the holiday.
I'll try to update things later today when I get back from the Chiefs game. Please make sure to tell your friends and family about our winter forecast which will be on Monday Night at 10 p.m.
