KEEPING THEM WARM. SUCH IMPORTANT ADVICE THIS TIME OF YEAR WHEN WE’RE FEELING WEATHER IN THE TEENS HERE. BUT FUN FACT DAVID, YOU HAVE A CAT. YEAH, I DO, AND YOU KNOW, THEY NEVER SEEM TO KNOW HOW GOOD THEY HAVE IT. THEY ALWAYS WANT TO GET OUTSIDE. BUT MY CAT CHARLIE WILL NOT BE GOING OUTSIDE. HE JUST DOESN’T KNOW HOW NICE IT IS INSIDE WHEN HE’S LOOKING OUT THAT WINDOW. LOOKING OUT OUR CAMERA HERE, SEVEN OAKS REC CENTER RECREATION AREA. WE GOT THE SNOW COMING DOWN. IT’S COMING OUT OF THESE FANS, THOUGH. IT’S COLD ENOUGH THAT THEY HAVE TURNED ON THE SNOW MAKING MACHINES. SO THE WINTER SEASON GETTING UNDERWAY. THANKFULLY THERE’S NOT SNOW FALLING ANYWHERE ELSE. WE DON’T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT THIS MORNING. WE HAVE PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES OUT THERE. IT IS COLD THOUGH. 26 DEGREES DOWNTOWN. WIND IS CALM SO WE DON’T HAVE A WIND CHILL TO WORRY ABOUT HERE. TO START OFF THE DAY, THAT’S A LITTLE BIT OF GOOD NEWS. A LOT OF 20S ACROSS THE STATE THIS MORNING 23 IN FORT DODGE, 23 IN ATLANTIC, 26 IN OTTUMWA, A LITTLE WARMER, SHALL WE SAY, IN IOWA CITY, WATERLOO SITTING AT 32 WITH A FEW EXTRA CLOUDS OUT THERE. WINDS ARE ON THE LIGHT SIDE. THAT IS THE CHANGE FROM EARLIER IN THE WEEK. SO WE DON’T REALLY HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THOSE WIND CHILLS HERE FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. WE DO HAVE SOME CLOUDS OUT THERE. WE WILL BE FIGHTING SOME CLOUDS FROM TIME TO TIME THROUGHOUT THE DAY, BUT I DO THINK WE GET IN A FAIR AMOUNT OF SUNSHINE HERE ONCE WE GET PAST SUNRISE. SO ALTHOUGH WE’RE STARTING OFF IN THE 20S, WE WILL WARM UP PRETTY QUICKLY BACK UP TO AROUND 40 DEGREES BY NOON INTO THE MID, IF NOT UPPER 40S HERE THIS AFTERNOON. MAYBE SOME 50S THERE ACROSS SOUTHERN SOUTHWEST IOWA THAT IS ABOVE AVERAGE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. THAT AVERAGE HIGH. NOW ABOUT 45 DEGREES. WE SHOULD HAVE THAT QUIET WEATHER LASTING INTO YOUR SUNDAY AS WELL. SO THERE’S THOSE HIGH TEMPERATURES HERE FOR THIS AFTERNOON. A LITTLE COOLER NORTHEAST IOWA, LOW 40S, MID 40S HERE FOR THE METRO, MAYBE SOME 50S THERE. SOUTHWEST IOWA. SO YOU CAN SEE THAT WARMING TREND BEGINNING TO PUSH OUR WAY. TOMORROW WE SEE MORE OF THAT MID IF NOT UPPER 50S SUNDAY AFTERNOON. MAYBE SOME 60S IN SOUTHERN IOWA. SO CERTAINLY A MILD DAY. THINGS DO CHANGE AS WE HEAD INTO NEXT WEEK. MORE COLD WEATHER BEGINS TO POUR ON IN AND IT IS A BUSY TRAVEL WEEK. SO WANT TO GIVE YOU A A QUICK LOOK AT THE TRAVEL FORECAST HERE. BEGINNING ON TUESDAY, MAYBE SOME RAIN AND SNOW OUT IN THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS. LOOKS FAIRLY QUIET FOR MOST OF THE MIDWEST ON TUESDAY. BY WEDNESDAY, A LITTLE STORM SYSTEM, PERHAPS SOME RAIN SHOWERS HERE ACROSS KANSAS, MISSOURI, MAYBE SOME FLAKES HERE IN IOWA DOES NOT LOOK LIKE A BIG SYSTEM BY ANY MEANS THAT PUSHES OFF TO THE EAST. BY THE TIME WE GET TO THANKSGIVING. SO IF YOU’RE HITTING THE ROAD HERE HEADING INTO THIS NEXT WEEK DOES NOT LOOK LIKE WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TOO MANY MAJOR DISRUPTIONS TO WORRY ABOUT. SO THAT IS A LITTLE BIT OF GOOD NEWS. IT IS GOING TO BE COOLER THOUGH. THANKSGIVING CERTAINLY A CHILLY 136 BY FRIDAY THOUGH, YOU GOT ANY BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPING PLANS YOU’RE GOING TO WANT TO BUNDLE UP A HIGH OF 29 THERE ON FRIDAY, SO CERTAINLY SOME COLDER WEATHER ON THE WAY. ENJOY THE MILD TEMPERATURES HERE THIS WEEKEND. 49 TODAY 57 TOMORROW. AGAIN, THAT AVERAGE HIGH 45. SO WE’RE ABOVE THAT NUMBER FOR BOTH DAYS THIS WEEKEND. CHILLIER HEADING INTO NEXT WEEK. WATCHING NEXT SATURDAY FOR OUR NEXT CHANCE FOR ANY RAIN OR SNOW. AND GIVEN THOSE TEMPERATURES, THAT WOULD POSSIBLY BE
