High Plains Drifter

Well.. maybe The Weather Channel will be right after all!!  I love this job.  Here I was explaining in my previous post how The Weather Channel’s supposed "rediculous" high in the mid 60s didn’t have much merit given how shallow arctic cold air masses this time of year usually "work" around here…. but there is little support now in the cold air "hanging tough" on Saturday.  I had to update our forecast here at the NWS here in Dodge City for higher temps Saturday.  If there is going to be any freezing rain, it will be during the midnight to 6am time frame early Saturday morning… before the massive warm air advection overtakes the remnant modified arctic airmass. Now, if you lived in, say, Sioux City, Iowa… or anywhere else in Iowa for that matter… get ready for some nice winter precipitation!  -a humbled Mike
