Good morning bloggers,
Low temperatures ranged from 8º below zero at Manhattan, KS to 7º above zero in Sedalia, MO this morning. Take a look at the visible satellite picture taken yesterday afternoon. The sky was clear from Kansas City north and west through the plains revealing the snow pack. And, you can clearly see the sharp cut off line where there was no snow at all.
Yesterday, I was on WPTV-TV in West Palm Beach during their 5 PM newscast. It was their lead story as they were having record heat. I was standing outside and experiencing our -10º wind chills while it was 90º there. There was literally a 100º difference. After four minutes outside my fingers hurt and I went back inside. I experienced what it is like to work outside and for less than five minutes. So, for all of you that have to work outside in this weather we appreciate you.
It will be a sunny day with a westerly breeze. Speaking of Breezy, she just fetched the paper and I appreciate it. Yes, I still get the Kansas City Star. I enjoy spending a few minutes reading the newspaper. I know you can get so many things online, just like this blog, but I still like relaxing and enjoy reading the paper.
The weather pattern is cycling and our next big storm system is likely another 10 days away at least. There may be a chance early next week of something smaller, but it just doesn't seem to be lining up. Go to www.LRCWeather.com and click on the blog over there for more on what likely is ahead of us.
Have a great Thursday! I will be working on some special weather graphics today to describe this weather pattern. I will look ahead to Christmas week on the air tonight at 5, 6, and 10 PM on NBC Action News in HD!
Gary
