naperville the gusts are 30 miles per hour. frankfurt has gusts of 34 miles per hour. can we go to weather bug here and we will check this out and see what's happening. there we go. and here are the gusts. low naperville, frankfurt and mchenry. very windy and temperatures in the 40s. there is a plot of the wind gust if you like your wind gusts and map form. there it is. 30-mile-per-hour gusts all afternoon and so even the temperatures are above the 39 we had yesterday, by the way, it was the first day we didn't go above 40 since last march. so the coolest weather in about eight month pchesz winds are sustained at 23 and gusting to 31 at o'hare. it's 46 at midway. 45 at this hour in chicago heights. these are temperatures that will flirt with if not get into the low 50s today and then turn cooler tomorrow. winds come off the lake and it warms up perhaps near 60 degrees on sunday and into the 60s on monday before temps tank on us after that. we got some very cold air coming in thanksgiving week and there may be a weather system

we have to watch for storm potential. other temperatures and wind gusts across the area and the view from buffalo grove of the mix of sun and clouds, a little dry slot coming in here with clouds up to the north of us. so we will see a fair amount of sunshine and that will help things warm up. see this big curl out here? is that big storm that is coming in off the pacific. snowing heavily on the western facing slopes of the rockies where snows have totaled up to 30 inches in the last couple of days around mount hood out to the west but the sierra of california, the cascades, the tetons, mountains near yellowstone and into glacier national park and the wasatch rains as well as colorado rockies in line for a snow. look at the weather advisories for the same. all the way from the dakotas back to wyoming and montana. and here is a plot from our rpm model. each of these little snow maximum is a mountain peak. that wall of granite serves as a lifting mek nsmg.

wind blows against it and it's forced to rise and cool and snow concentrates on the mountains. by the time the air gets into this area and produces 40- degree temperatures, it's kind of run itself out. there isn't a lots of moisture. 40 here. look how sharp the temperature drop is. eight at williston. go below 9.0 in parts of saskatchewan and alberto. there is a lot of cool air in a big pool in canada and we willtop that next week. tomorrow we will bring a low incap cool off. look at the wind gusts. they are something and they translate to single digit windchills in minnesota. that is very close and as we put more and more snow down between us and the single digit windchills, that cool air will creep closer and we will start feeling that next week. temperatures in billings, montana, 37 degrees colder than 24 hours ago. but here is why we don't have to worry about cooling right away. see how the jet stream turns

southwest over the weekend? that will warm us up and bring a good storm out of the plains to the west of us and that puts us in its warm sector on monday where it might be thunderstorms. but today's south winds give way to tomorrow's northeast winds. cooler wrigley field for the illini and wild cats, big football game there as winds come off the water. then the southerly flow locks in. a warm front that comes north on sunday and by afternoon we could be close to 60 degrees. so there is a real schizophrenic quality to these temperatures. cold one day and then warm the next and moisture as you see in the dew points coming northward. not much now except near the mountain ranges but in the coming days it will change. may get a second storm next week that will track from northern texas into the ohio valley or midway. that thing can be close enough to us to give us rain or sleet on wednesday that would trnd later in the day or night to snow and it could stick and that will be interesting for

our travelers. tomorrow cool northeast winds. introduces little bit that chilly air. see how the warm air buckles northward into this area on sunday and monday and then the cold air dives south. we get white and purples that show up. that's chilly air and you will notice how that comes into the area by wednesday and thursday of next week. thanksgiving day on thursday may struggle to get to 32 which will be the coldest temperature since february. so that really cool almost wintry air due later next week. but today we will settle for a 12-degree temperature increase over yesterday's 39. it will be partly sunny. quite windy. 35-mile-per-hour gusts. high of 51. and the winds averaging 16 to 30. partly cloudy tonight. winds will ease a bit and shift to the north, northeastward. morning, low temperature 34. and the winds coming down to 5 to 13 miles per hour. partly sunny. a bit breezy and cooler on saturday. highs in the mid-40s. northeast winds could reach 15 or 20 on occasion in the afternoon. but sunday they are back to the south again and start southeast

in the morning off the waters so kind of cool at the start but mild in the afternoon and very windy with partly sunny skies. we will take rain out of the forecast sunday and put the temperature at 59. then couple of scattered showers. maybe a thunderstorm. sunday night or monday and monday can see low 60s around here. then tank to the upper teens by friday morning next week so between the beginning of end of next week we might have a 40 plus degree temperature spredz. got to -- spread. got to love autumn in the mid west. >> we will have the seven day later on. >> let me check your cavier knowledge. here is our trivia question. true cavier comes from what fish? sturgeon? mackerel? sward fish.

right after those delicious appetizers we will start with our trivia question today. true cavier comes from which fish? sturgeon? mackerel, sword fish? the answer, steve sanders knew. he ate a lot of cavier.

sturgeon. >> alabama growing up. >> who loves invasive species. >> probably that. which one? >> the asian carp. >> they aren't in there yet. >> look at this guy. you know it's windy and warmer and invading our area today as warmer air and look at the wind gusts over 30 miles per hour in places and how cold it is in the northern plains. wow. got to keep our eyes on that. temperatures are diving through north dakota and montana. we are on the rise here at 44 headed for 51 today and there is a lighter plot of the wind gusts across the area. clearly the winds are not north at zero now. they are gusting over 30 miles per hour in the chicago area. and look at the snow. this is critical. you lay down the snow pack and cool air runs over it and it happens next week. we will have sub zero temperatures dropping into the rockies and northern plains and upper mid west next week. northern minnesota and north dakota to get in on those.

we pointed out how we warm up right here and then you see the cold air collapse on us. we were up to tuesday on this ten day forecast and there comes wednesday. that's when a low tracks through the southern mid west so the interesting to see if it spins moisture in the cold air because if it does we get rain, sleet or snow. wednesday night and snow showers or flurries on thanksgiving day and we stay cold there as you can see in the early next week. going to get chilly. and look what happens to the jet stream that goes westerly and warms us up this weekend and southwest early next week pops us into the low 60s. and after that the flow turns in from the north. so here is our seven-day forecast. and we go from 51 today back down to 44 tomorrow thanks to the onset of northeast winds. but back up to 59. windy and noticeably warmer in the afternoon on sunday. low 60s or 60 monday with thunderstorms and then colder tuesday and partly sunny and maybe a cocktail wednesday and

thursday of the winter variety. thanksgiving day may stay at 31 for a high. that would be cold and in the teens at night. it's going to get chilly. more on that tonight at 5:00 and 9:00. and thank you for joining us today. >> you have a great weekend. we leave you now with more live music with the demexico ensemble performing at the house of blues.
