 Welcome to the weather forecast for the week beginning Wednesday, October 5th 2022. I'm chief meteorologist John is worth for a long month public media I do apologize. It's been a few months since I've been able to do the astronomy show over on the channel But I'm now taking a master's course at CCU and I have lots of homework Just well, maybe in the winter. Maybe in the spring. We'll see Anyways are seeking the astronomy our full moon is Sunday, October 9th So beautiful evenings to enjoy the beginning Christmas of fall the Sun is crazy active on our side right now Sunspots galore the northern hemispheres now more dominated by Sunspots Looking at drought things are getting Just a touch better better out here on the plains, but not much really has changed Nationally drought is kind of worsening up and down the plains, especially in the northern plains and a little bit here in California Not much has changed here, but Arizona to Colorado up to Wyoming is about the best in the west Look at the rainfall. We do keep getting rain in the state each week I got missed out here Pueblo at our Kansas, but along the front range a little bit hit We had some thunderstorms come through. So some folks got like long line got hit pretty hard for a little while So I was up in Lutherland when it was as well some good water out here Looking at severe weather For yeah, I'm skipping the severe weather climatology. Just nothing. We have a chance of thunderstorms to our south on Wednesday southwest Thursday and friday still south of long month, but including Denver at least a little convection on friday The national Surface map shows cold front down here now the cold front kind of working up here on the canadian border And they're a little more bullish on the snow and rain, but this is not much There's not much coverage at all that is really deceptive. That's not going to be that much Friday, october 7th Mountain snows does cool down a little bit. We have this front pushing in you might see some showers But it won't be thunderstorms From smoke thursday and friday very clear in colorado, so no problems there Put the freezing line on To show you how we are starting to get a little closer to freezing The error bars here around the lowest temperatures about eight nine days from now do go below freezing So it is possible that we could get our first freeze by the 12th or 13th It's also a significant precipitation now showing up about the 15th and 16th just off the edge here in the short term We have some shower chances a little drier on the 7th and 8th Pretty good coming out of the weekend with temperatures really staying inside this normal Window have 70 down to 66 for highs 41 down to 37 so we're dropping another tens place as we get to into the 60s and 30s for our expected temperatures That was a strange thing. All right There isn't much to show in the highlight because really all week long We have a ridge way off the west coast Northwest flow which ripples can come through and give us storms down then this is next tuesday So the end of the forecast, but it really doesn't look different much throughout the time So we can put it in motion and watch this. So There's our western ridge There's the northwest flow coming down Across the west And I got some inoculum recording. All right, so we keep watching the trough dig here in the southwest And moving off Yeah, see just there's not much change as for temperatures. We do see the cold front sloshing around So here's a big bunch of cold air coming out of Canada and it just gets into Western so eastern side of the state pushes up against the mountains briefly you could get us some showers because you get that upslope and then it's gone Coolness and moisture stays down the desert southwest Yeah, and we are a little bit above normal according to that. There's another cold front coming out Wednesday Next week and it stays on the side of the Rockies as well Like that. So some real heat in the Pacific Northwest, but we're right in this boundary zone between them for water vapor just going to show a few days of this that there is um Just a little above normal amount of moisture here comes that cold front We see slip by cold air is very dry. It's holding very little moisture So as it sloshes down the east that's going to keep any Hurricanes from coming in for a while. So that's good news But really here comes that secondary cold front pushing a little moisture ahead of it There's your chance of showers and then it's shoving off into the southeast as well For precipitation, let's take a look. It's staying down in New Mexico southern in colorado And there's a little bit On the northeast there's some around Denver and i-25 for the weekend and going into next week or sunday into monday And yeah, there's just not much but we're going to watch the very end of this window here comes that cold front sweeping down on wednesday on thursday Another cold front slip slipping by big hurricane down here southern gulf But it looks like it's just going to stay down there. It's october 15th Yeah, and nothing So precipitation over the next five days Not much a little bit in the mountains add five more days to 10 days still not much So we go 70s we drop with the cold front and chance of showers on friday Warming back to the upper 60s or 70s on sunday than 70s for next week I'm just keeping a low chance of rain all the way through you might see something out and it's very possible Take a look at that investigation storm. It's nothing now, but expect to be a pretty big hurricane but it's going to be Hugging the very southern parts of the gulf in the curvian and it's hitting the yucatan and like that Will it do something beyond that and get into the texas area? That's too wait way way too far to tell so well, maybe something we talked about next week Frequent weather updates on local news lawnmout leader and brunfield leader This has been chief meir of this john insworth.
