DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 30-DECEMBER 4)
\nA quiet last day of November as high pressure dominates. A cold front will cross the region early Friday with limited rain shower activity. Fair weather will then dominate for the balance of Friday as well as most of the weekend, though some cloudiness on Sunday will be caused by a weak disturbance crossing the region on its way to ignite an offshore storm that will stay east of the region as high pressure returns through Monday with more fair weather.

DAYS 6-10 (DECEMBER 5-9)
\nWe reach pattern transition period number 1 here. I believe the pattern, on its way to colder, will go through it in a couple stages as blocking begins to develop in the northern hemisphere, rearranging the large scale pattern. Though it is difficult for timing of systems which can make for a forecast that can blow up in your face easily, here is my best shot. Milder December 5-6 with an episode of rain showers somewhere later December 5 to early December 6. Turning colder later December 6 into December 8 with mainly dry weather, then a warm up and a chance of precipitation, likely rain, somewhere between the later December 8 and December 9 period. The late-period unsettled weather is far from etched in stone and could end up further south and timed even later.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (DECEMBER 10-14)
\nBlocking will strengthen and transition period #2 will take place here with a couple periods of unsettled weather and a switch to below normal temperatures. This will, of course, lead to an increased risk for snow threats. Snow is not a guarantee on any given day, but the overall pattern will start to support it more during and beyond this period, looking ahead a little bit. Much more to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
