Good evening, everyone. It is Wednesday, November 3. And as always, we have excitement on the weather map. But this time, this is excitement that everybody's going to enjoy. Believe it or not. We have unseasonably warm temperatures headed for the southern Midwest and the Great Lakes area. We also have unseasonally warm temperatures heading into the Texas area. In fact, in many cases, it's the same places. The very same places they got hit the hardest with the snow, places like North plate Alaska, that's a 5.8 inches of snow going down to 30 actually went down into the 20s. They're going to see high temperatures soar into the low 70s. By the early beginning part of next week already going down into Amarillo, Texas, temperatures expected to go down into the upper 20s tonight. I don't know if they got some snowflakes or not. It certainly is reasonable to think that they may have gotten one snowflake. But even if they didn't temperatures, afternoon highs in the low 40s. Next week, we're going to be seeing high temperatures, mid 80s 86 degrees for Amarillo, Texas, temperatures are going into the 90s. For other parts of Texas, there's no question, this is a really warm air mass, we have temperatures going well into the 70s for the St. Louis area. I know forecasts for St. Louis are not quite up to that yet. But you'll see they will go up and we will see high temperatures even if they don't go up you'll see we'll have high temperatures low to mid 70s. First St. Louis, that's and then going into even into the Chicago area up north over here in Chicago, you know, we have a tendency to have a warm front Deficit Disorder. A warm front Deficit Disorder over here in Chicago has a serious issue with getting warm fronts. And this, we really have a serious issue, no matter what is forecasted those fronts come just about to Chicago, but they never quite make it to Chicago. And that's the big, that's one of the huge differences between St. Louis and Chicago when it comes to the winter is that St. And St. Louis see some major up and down at temperatures sometimes go into the 60s, even 70s in January. And Chicago just doesn't quite make it there at all. And it's a true rarity when it does the ups and downs of Chicago or 40s. And then teens and stuff like that a completely different type of ups and downs. But this weekend, tempered the beginning part of next week, temperatures are headed into the 60s for the Chicago area. That's Sunday, Monday, especially Monday, Monday we're gonna see that warm front push up in over the Cleveland area. In fact, already Sunday night and you buy the warm front, the warmer air comes in even before the flood comes in. That's one of the big mysteries of warm fronts that I can never figure out. The way it's explained. The way the meteorologists get out of the issue is they just say well, a warm fronts not well defined, and a cold front is well defined. So some of the warmer air tends to go north of the warm front. But you know, that doesn't really explain it. But that's the reality. The reality is there's going to be a warm up already in Cleveland, starting on Sunday, but the warm front doesn't move through until Monday. The real warm air the south coming in on South winds, there's several there's three reasons why we're going to be warm next week, three reasons that I was able to figure out if someone could figure out more than that's wonderful. I think the number one reason might be because we have a high pressure ridge that's building in from the west, it's building overhead. And whenever there's a high pressure ridge, that's the high pressure, generally it's at 500 millibars, up about 1800 18,000 feet up from the atmosphere, we're going to have high pressure over there. And when you have those ridges, that's when you get the bulging the Jetstream going north, that's when temperatures really start to warm up. Generally, there's also high pressure on the surface. The high pressure ridge is an...
