Winter temperatures coming soon & awesome sunset pictures

This is a week of back-and-forth temperatures. It's almost funny how one day we are up, next day down, and then back up, and that should continue through the weekend. Our second cold front of the week is coming through today (Wednesday) and then another one will come through Friday. And of course there will be some wind to deal with too. Strongest gusts will be Friday and Saturday.

Big surge of cold air early next week!

It still looks like the bottom is going to drop out early next week. This is something we started talking about Monday, and the forecast models still have a huge chunk of Arctic air diving south. It will definitely be cold enough to snow, but there's no big storm system coming through, so it's unlikely we'll have anything to worry about when it comes to difficult travel weather. But high temperatures in the 30s and 40s may be something we deal with for most of the week. Warm clothes will be a necessity next week.

Because of the election coverage, I didn't have a lot of time to showcase the wonderful sunset pictures that came in Tuesday evening. They were just wonderful. So I'm posting as many of them as I can here. Enjoy. Have a great day. And we are always happy to see your window on the weather world. Uploading them on Facebook and Twitter (@KWCHRoss) is the fastest way to get them to us, but stormshots@kwch.com works too.
