About half way through the weekend as I write this update, and not a whole lot of change at this time. Of course, media is already jumping all over a potential rain\/snow threat for the Northeast for the day before Thanksgiving into early Thanksgiving morning, and while I acknowledge there is something to watch there, there is the matter of some weather to affect southeastern New England before that time. Though I am well aware that this is a huge travel week, trying to get detailed regarding the midweek threat would be a waste of time, as there are far too many uncertainties to allow one a clear enough look at things to make a confident forecast. Regarding that, I’ll play it low-key with moderate confidence but leaving the door open to significant tweaking as that time nears. In the mean time, milder air is coming in as Saturday night rolls on, and lots of clouds and even patchy showers of rain are possible. It has become mild enough for rain versus snow, as milder air has been coming in above during the day and finally at the surface overnight. By Sunday, the milder air will become more established and expect a day of sun mixed with clouds and a gusty breeze. A significant, large sized storm system is going to move northeastward through the Great Lakes on Monday and a large lobe of energy on the eastern side of it will lift through southeastern New England with rain late Sunday night and Monday morning. Most of this rain should be out of the way, though clouds will remain dominant, Monday afternoon, with very mild air. A cold front will sweep eastward across the region on Tuesday but with limited moisture to work with, so there will just be some patchy clouds around. Beyond that, the front will be the pathway for developing low pressure off the US Southeast Coast. As has been the thinking for a while, I do expect this to remain a largely open, fast-moving wave of low pressure though it may rapidly start to intensify while passing southeast to east of this area. The question of exact track and impact will not be answered for some time yet, so for now will just forecast some rain\/snow for a period of time Wednesday night, ending early Thanksgiving Day. It does look like a chilly interlude to end Thanksgiving week.<\/p>\n
