local weather

We start the week out with some great weather - sunshine and 65 to 70 degrees for Monday and Tuesday.

A cold front moves in by Wednesday night and Thursday, dropping high temperatures into the 40s and lows to the 20s. The front is also expected to bring a few rain showers and snow showers.

We get into a sunny and drier weather pattern beginning November 24 and continuing through Thanksgiving, but the nights are going to be colder. I wouldn't be surprised if we dropped as low as 13 degrees Thanksgiving morning.

The week starts with a cold Veterans Day across the area, with a little bit of freezing drizzle or light snow especially, during the morning.

Once we get past Monday, we have it made with warmer temperatures Tuesday through Friday. High temperatures will climb to the mid-50s to mid-60s. There is no more Arctic air coming for us from November 12 to 22. The coolest afternoon I see is about 50 degrees - not a bad extended outlook for this time of year.

Snow is the big word for Kiowa County for the week ahead.

There is going to be a chance of snow from Sunday night through Wednesday, and accumulation is likely. The greatest chance of heavier snow appears to be Sunday night and again Tuesday night.

After being in the low 70s Saturday, very cold air is going to take over and stick with us through mid-week, with high temperatures of 30 to 35 degrees and low temperatures dipping to 12 degrees Monday night and around 5 degrees Wednesday night.
