A Possible Change in the Forecast November 30, 2006

Ok… I just got done writing a really long bit about the forecast… and now it’s gone. Argh. Anyway, I’ll try and do it again…
In the last post, I mentioned the possibility of ice for today. That happened. In Overland Park, there’s a report of half an inch of accumulated ice on roadways.
Now, our eyes [...]

A Big Game and A Big Forecast November 28, 2006

If you’re heading down south for the Big 12 Championship, you’ll need to keep a close eye on the forecast. Especially if you’re going today or on Thursday… Friday and Saturday look cold, but much less threatening as far as winter precip goes.
If you’re heading down really early for the game (ie Wednesday), you [...]

The Busted Forecast November 27, 2006

It’s always fun being a meteorologist… every day a new challenge and every once in awhile you get a good kick in rear by Mother Nature.
Yesterday, I looked at the forecast and how things looked and decided to go with one decision, which in hindsight was quite wrong. A cold front with very shallow air [...]

Very Active Week November 25, 2006

It’s going to be a very interesting week for a weather forecast. The forecast itself is a very challenging one. The questions are when the cold air gets here, when it will rain, how warm will it get, and so on and so on.
There are a few areas of light rain tonight… I expect that [...]

The Loess Hills November 24, 2006

Sometimes when you live in an area for a long period, you have a tough time seeing some of the natural beauty in the place. I found this is LaCrosse.. if you’ve ever driven on Interstate 90 through LaCrosse, you know the awesome landscape the Mississippi River gave that portion of the country. However, I [...]

No Weather Today November 20, 2006

Thanks to the Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday, things are kind of messed up on the ol’ schedule. Thanks to that, Bill is in to work both shows on Sunday and I’m now reporting. I already had plans on Wednesday and Thursday (my usual off days), so I’m still off those days. Roger is working Thanksgiving.
Even [...]

A Thanksgiving Warm-Up November 18, 2006

It’s been a very quiet November this year. If you think back to last year, by this time we had already gotten over an inch of snow (not much, but an inch more than we’ve gotten this year) and we saw temperatures around 10 degrees (11 on November 15th, 2005).
In comparison, we’ve gotten .13 inches [...]

Not Much to Talk about… November 17, 2006

I’m out of stuff to talk about, which is unfortunate considering I’m supposed to talk about stuff in this space.
I was pretty busy on both Monday and Tuesday of this week at work, so I had no time to post. Then on Wednesday and Thursday I had a couple days off and worked hard to [...]

Churches in Omaha November 13, 2006

I had a little free time Thursday morning, so I took the camera on a little tour of Omaha churches. I was almost mugged downtown, which wasn’t very much fun. However, it was a great day to take pictures. It was around 9am, so the low sun caused problems with some of the angles that [...]

Veterans’ Day November 12, 2006

It turned out to be a very nice Veterans’ Day across the area.. although a little chilly. We’ve got a little system that will push across the area on Sunday and create a chance for some rain. The rain should be light and I expect it to fall anytime after 3 or 4 in the [...]
