Looks like a pretty windy game but dry. Temps starting around 53...dropping steadily into the lower 40s by the final bell. The north winds will gust to 30-35 at times so expect some kicking game impacts.

I'd "give one" to be there with you for the bloodbath as I know tix would be flying low. Unfortunately not in the cards this time...
Me too buddy...next year our plan is the KState game in Norman and Shorthorns in Big D if money is right.
Hey KC - predicting weather a little closer to home!
So any winter predictions of snow fall in Mid-Missouri this year? We have had a bit of a drought but I feel a big winter coming....

Well the overall winter pattern will fluctuate a bunch...Polar/Arctic air plunges into MO from Iowa...moisture return should be somewhat limited for big snows. Will have to watch out for freezing rain once the coldest air masses retreat...LaNina patterns are not known for big excitement in Plains to Miss Valley. This unless a Pacific storm manages to dig further west. Not a common thing though in NW flow patterns. Could be snowy for IL and IN later in winter.
I'd take 4' of snow throughout the winter to avoid
(a) an inch or more of ice that lasts forever up here and
(b) more than a week of temps in the zero to -25 actual range
It sucks when it has to 'warm up' to get snowfall...

No problem...I was in the OU Meteorology program back in the day. Now I am an Auditor but still have my meteorology skills. They come in handy still.
Sometimes it gets too cold and dry under those intense winter high pressure domes. Then things get interesting when they move off to east. This could be one of those winters for Iowa.
Meteorologist predicting a bad or mild winter is strictly a guess. Last year rhey predicted a bad winter and we barely got flurries
That was more of a truism 15-20 years ago. As education and technology advances the models play out more and more accurately each year
Actual meteorologist here... And I'm rather into the persistence forecasting model for long-term predictions... Hence I think it's going to be mostly warmer than normal with a few cold spells in the middle of the country. (Still could be cold and wintry in the NE US though). Less than normal snowfall for OK/TX. Out in AZ it's looking like a very dry, warm winter - good for my tomato plants but bad for the rest of the state...
We got quite a bit of snow here in northeast Nebraska. In fact we had 6 inches of snow on May 1 and schools were closed.
The forecast models are improving as more data gets input from the data spots around the globe. Unfortunately, there are vast areas where data is just not possible. This creates the X factor where forecasts bust. Meteorology and climatology are always going to be inexact science. This unless the data points bring about more consistent and timely information. So those that blame the "weather guy" really do not know the process that brings about a forecast whether short or long term. There are different and pretty numerous weather forecast models that throw out differing forecast solutions. That information then is matched up the best it can be with trends upstream. I am sure AZ Sooner can add some further input....
Being a weatherman in Oklahoma is not easy.I don't know how old you are but they are so much better now and its not even close.
Not many people remember Gusty or Lionel.Aah the good old days
Don Woods was the substitute when someone semi-famous backed out of our commencement gig for the Class of '74... Lionel, uh meh. Come to think of it, after 15 years or so Gusty also.
You remember the famous cut-away to Mack Kreiger flipping off the camera during Mannix ?
yep ,Beth Rengel and someone else got into trouble as well.Mazeppa stomping on baby chicks.
I do remember the Kreiger incident. Weatherman are much better now. It was a crap shoot back in those days.
