Life in Eads and Kiowa County, Colorado, as observed by Doris Lessenden.2019 Eads Junior High Volleyball Schedule

Articles from the Kiowa County Press in Ead, Colorado, for the week ending October 5, 2019.

It's an exciting time of year when just about anything can happen. Just over the next week, we are going to see temperature swings from the mid-20s to the low to mid-80s.

The coldest mornings will be Monday near 32 and then Friday around 25. The prettiest days will be Tuesday and Wednesday with sunshine and in the 80s.

After a strong cold front passes through Wednesday night, the high temperature Thursday and Friday will not get out of the 50s. Other than some isolated showers possible with that Wednesday front, it looks like a rather dry week ahead.
