Good Tuesday morning! Ive added a few extra attachments this morning to show you a regional and national travel forecast if you are going to be heading out the door tomorrow morning....so you have an idea of what to expect as far as the weather is concerned. Bottom line? If you are going to Grandmas house and its in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas, Louisiana or Colorado...the weather should be just fine with NO travel issues. If you are going to the East Coast...yikes! Get ready for travel delays galore! The Pacific Northwest will be wet as well and could have travel delays there as well. Also, we have a brand new SchoolNet site to debut this morning! The Friemel Family Farms SchoolNet site is located 8 miles west of Groom, right along I-40. A BIG thanks to Mike Friemel (owner), Myrna Britten, Cara Ashford and Dale Banks! Ive attached a picture of the weather station, located on top of an old TV antenna there at the farms. We are excited about this new SchoolNet site, #176, for our network! They are already on-line on our website and on our exclusive, SchoolNet app! If you want the app (its free), go to the App Store for your iPhone and iPads and search for KVII. On your Android phone, go to Google Play and search for KVII. Download and enjoy! Lets get back to todays forecast for our area, shall we? As far as the temperatures go, we will see high temperatures in about the same neighborhood as yesterday with lower to mid 50s occurring late this afternoon. The difference is going to be found in the wind! Southwest winds at 15-25 mph with some higher gusts possible in the 35-40 mph range will make the highs in the 50s....feel like the 30s and 40s when you factor in the wind chill value. Skies will be mostly sunny to partly cloudy today with patches of high clouds drifting by occasionally. You can see the attached KVII Computer Model Forecast at 5pm showing our high of 54 degrees. The NAM (North American Computer Model) and HRRR (High Resolution Rapid Refresh Computer Model) shows all the rain off in Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas. Yes, its going to be nice and quiet around here today! Another wind shift line will push through tonight causing our southwest winds this evening at 10-20 mph to shift around to the northwest at 10-20 mph by sunrise Wednesday. With low temperatures in the 20s to around 30, wind chill values will dip to the single digits and teens....so bundle up! Wednesdays weather will be interesting in that as far as the temperatures are concerned, it will be about where we will end up today (50s). The difference will be in the wind as LIGHT northerly winds at 5-15 mph shifts around to the east at 5-15 mph in the afternoon hours. This will keep the wind chill values very close to the actual air temperatures...so it will feel warmer than it does today. Again, refer to the regional and national travel forecasts if you will be heading out on the highways or airways! Thanksgiving should be warmer than Wednesday with highs rising into the 60s to even near 70 degrees in the southeastern TX Panhandle (Childress, Paducah, Wellington and Memphis). Winds will blow from the south at 5-15 mph during the morning, then shift and increase (a little) from the southwest at 10-20 mph in the afternoon hours. Skies will be mostly sunny to partly cloudy throughout the day. What a fantastic Thanksgiving! Black Friday looks even warmer with high temperatures rising to near 70 degrees over most of the area and near 75 degrees in the southeastern TX Panhandle (cities listed in the paragraph above) with west winds at 10-20 mph helping keep us unseasonably warm (and dry). Skies will be mostly sunny to partly cloudy throughout the day as well. Saturday will be one of the warmest days that we have seen during the month of November with highs in the 70s...to near 80 degrees in the southeastern TX Panhandle! Those high temperatures are about 15-20 degrees warmer than usual for this time of the year and if you are a warm-weather fan, get out and enjoy it! Winds will blow from the west at 10-20 mph as mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies prevail. A cold front will push through during the afternoon hours on Sunday switching our west winds at 10-20 mph to the northeast at 5-15 mph during the afternoon hours. Skies may be a little cloudier than on Saturday as high temperatures vary from the upper 50s over the OK Panhandle to around 70 degrees in the southeastern TX Panhandle where the cold front will arrive later in the day. As we head back to work and school on Monday, we can expect more November-like high temperatures back in the upper 40s to the mid 50s. Winds will be light and blow from the northeast at 5-15 mph in the morning, then shift to the east in the afternoon hours at 5-15 mph. Skies will be mostly sunny to partly cloudy. On Tuesday, more cloud cover is on its way as the next upper-level storm system moves our way from California! High temperatures will rise back into the 60s thanks to breezy southwesterly winds at 10-20 mph in the morning, then increasing to the 15-25 mph average range with some gusts upward of 35-40 mph possible in the afternoon hours. Another upper-level storm system is headed our way that will give us a chance of rain on Wednesday. No snow? Yes, it looks that way as the attached European Computer Model, GFS (Global Forecasting System, or American Model) and the Canadian Computer Model shows that most of the rain will be west and north of us....but we have a chance! The amounts will be light (trace to less than a tenth of an inch)...but we will take it!
