During the holidays only.
No, this is the season of giving.
And you're right.
Between giving time.
Yeah, or finances,
it all feels good because
your blessing someone
with your resources and time and money
are the two biggest ones we have.
In fact, Audrey, tomorrow's the big day.
I know, I know what day it is.
The final day of November means the Bills
elves, holiday toy drive, phone bank.
So calling all elves to call us.
We're going to release the
phone number tomorrow at 4:00.
Right here on 1st at 4:00 and
then KENS 5 News at five and six.
We will have the phone lines open.
You donate the money,
we do the shopping.
We provide Christmas to boys and
girls in need across South Texas.
So it is going to be a
wonderful day tomorrow.
Hope you can join us and call in
tomorrow's phone bank starts at 4:00 PM.
Alright.
Today is Tuesday and that
means Tuesday with Taylor.
It's out of Bob Lewis elementary
right now. And I swung by Mrs Sandoval's
first grade. Audrey, look at this.
That's the reading area.
Is that awesome?
Ohh, that is looks comfy,
that's what I'm saying.
I'm afraid too comfy. Like
usually after about 5 pages I fall asleep,
fall asleep. I'd be out cold.
Seriously. But I also had Alyssa Analisa
on, excuse me, 1/5 grader of Bob Lewis,
a cello player.
Bob at Bob Lewis elementary.
And we talked about Thunder
and lightning today.
Great time at Bob Lewis.
Thanks for having me.
Alright, so clear skies after an
awfully ugly start to the day.
It's up to 80 degrees.
This is 12 degrees above our seasonal
average S wind right now about 8 to 10 mph.
But yeah, after all the fog and
a little bit at misty drizzle,
not much in the rain gauge,
that's for sure.
Now temperatures.
This is the real topic today.
The change in temperatures already
in the 80s now, but here we go.
At 10:00 o'clock it'll
still be comfortable 63,
some mid 50s in the Hill Country.
As we get past midnight,
here comes the cold front.
We'll drop to 42 in Rock Springs,
45 in Kerrville, 54 in San Antonio.
5:00 AM and then as we get into
probably the 9:00 o'clock hour,
we're going to bottom out in the upper 40s.
So it's not going to be a blast
of say 30 degree weather,
but it will definitely feel a
lot colder tomorrow as highs
will climb back up to about 61.
It'll be below seasonal average.
One thing we will not see
that we've seen lately,
fog and that'll stay on the Texas
coast just in case you have a
trip down I 37281 S you will run
into some fog early Wednesday,
then the cold front pushes
everything S and cleans it out.
So here's where the front is now.
Already dropping Amarillo to 39.
You can see Albuquerque is not too cold,
but 45 Oklahoma City,
so it still has quite a bit
of real estate to cover across
Texas before it gets here.
The bigger story than even the temperature
is going to be the winds tomorrow.
In fact,
you're going to start here
in the wind chimes overnight.
Here's 3:00 AM wind speeds between
20 and 25 mph already,
especially I-35 corridor.
Then as we get into the sunrise hours,
about 6:00 to 7:00 PM,
we're near Tropical storm force winds.
36 mile per hour wind gusts.
We're not expecting a wind advisory just yet,
but it could happen if some of these
gusts go a little bit stronger.
Once we go to about 40,
there'll be a wind advisory issued,
but it's not so far.
We're still running right around
25 to 30 through the 2:00 o'clock
to 3:00 o'clock hour.
In fact, even at midnight tomorrow night,
we still have a pretty good
breeze near 15 miles an hour.
But the skies are going to be beautiful.
It's going to be a mostly sunny day.
These numbers will be misleading,
though, because that north wind,
it will feel a little bit colder
than the mid to upper 50s.
61 It's you're gonna need a
jacket just about all day.
Now here's why we're not getting any rain.
This atmosphere is just bone dry.
I mean, look at the water vapor imagery,
and you can even see a good dry
slot coming in with the front
and out ahead of it as well.
So because of that,
no rain expected with this cold front
as it moves through, and we need some.
Here's where we're going as we
wrap up November. We're at 1.78.
We should get over 2 inches this month.
So for the year in the lower right,
we're just over 11 inches.
That's 19 1/4 below average.
Alright, 7 day forecast time.
We're looking at 61 tomorrow afternoon.
This cold air mass will
bottom out Thursday morning.
Lot of you are going to be in the 30s,
a light freeze in the Hill Country,
then mostly cloudy 59.
So it'll actually be a little
bit cooler on Thursday,
mainly because of the cloud cover.
We're going to get an E wind to
bring back all the gulf clouds.
They'll stick around for
a mostly cloudy Friday,
warmer 71,
warmer still on Saturday and
models are back and forth on
a chance of rain for Saturday.
Right now I'm going 10%.
It will definitely be cloudy 76.
But it looks like a little bit better
of a chance 20 or 30% as the front
comes through the beginning of next week.
But All in all,
a pretty mild start to December.
We'll be back after this.
