What a view!

You know, when it comes to scenery, the Red River valley isn't up there with California or Colorado on the list of "must see" places and earthbound panorama. Our good fortune lies within our unobstructed view of the wonderous sky. We have a front row seat to the glorious interactions between cloud and sun, moon and star.

Afterall, the storm clouds of spring can achieve heights nearly double that of Everest.

Bring it on!

After something like 15 straight days of 95+ degree heat, a cold front is about to pounce on Texoma. By Wednesday morning, the front should have swept south of Wichita Falls bringing a fair chance at scattered showers and thunderstorms and a break in the heat. It's possible that in the higher elevations of the Texas Panhandle, temperatures may stay in the 70s Wednesday afternoon. Wow. Our high temperature Tomorrow should be 15-20 degrees below normal. Bring it on!

Unfortunately were back to summer heat by the weekend.

Keeping Meghan Danahey around? I knew it would be tough. She's only the most highly credentialed female Forecaster to ever wander through this TV market. And for folks ready to take the next step in their career...working in a TV market that has it's place in severe weather history looks pretty darn good on the resume! So off to (so called) sunny Florida Megs goes...and I've been asked to take responsibilty of the channel 6 weather office. I'm flattered that I was even considered to be in the same class as Meghan and it will be difficult to maintain her high standards, But I'll do my best.

I've been pretty darn bad a keeping the "Wichta Falls Weather" blog updated, but I'm hoping, as we get closer to fall, and weather returns to the Red River Valley I will 'freshen' the blog at least weekly.

As always...I invite everyone who stumbles onto these pages to comment, if only to let me know you were here.

Here ends year one of "Wichita Falls Weather"...I'm excited about what year two has in store.
