Sneak peek into early November

Our final weekend of October is here and while many of you enjoy this great weather, I thought I'd offer up some brief insights into early November. Our winter forecast will be coming out November 18th (Sunday at 10 p.m.) and I'm excited to reveal what we are thinking for the upcoming winter season. So be looking for that in the coming weeks.

In the meantime, our weather is about to undergo some radical changes as we close out October and welcome November. First thing to watch is a cold front coming through Tuesday. I'm not very excited about rain chances with this system. It's moving fast and never really organizes until it gets east of Kansas. So it's doubtful we will see anything significant from this Tuesday front.

The weather pattern shifts after October!

There's going to be a large buckle in the jet stream. What does that mean? A short answer is that colder air begins pushing back south. It may not be what you were wanting to hear, but for a couple of weeks now we've been seeing hints at a transition back to below normal temperatures for the beginning of November.

Will there be snow?

It's not very likely for Kansas, but something we will continue to watch as the pattern begins to take shape. It's certainly going to be cold enough for snow in certain areas. The Rockies will likely get some fresh powder in the first few days of November. But snow on the Plains is not looking that likely.
