DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 27-DECEMBER 1)
\nThe storm that has been on my “radar” for 2 weeks finally departs today, slowly, kind of. As it lifts to the north and the old primary low elongates as the secondary pulls away toward the Canadian Maritimes, it will set up a broad westerly flow across the region with a slow drying-out process getting underway during the course of the day, though it won’t seem like that at first, starting out with low pressure overhead and plenty of low level moisture. But by this evening, you’ll notice the change, and this will continue through Wednesday, which will still be somewhat unsettled as a broad upper level low pressure area still has to transit the region from west to east, and with colder air incoming, this will result in a few rain and snow showers. We will have 2 fully dry calendar days Thursday and Friday, the first with a gusty northwesterly breeze between broad low pressure to the east and high pressure building in from the west, the second more tranquil with high pressure overhead. A weakening disturbance will be crossing the region early Saturday and may produce brief light rain and\/or snow. As much as I’d like to tell you we’re done with the series of storms, we’re not, and another will approach later Saturday, spreading clouds right back into the region.
\nForecast details…

DAYS 6-10 (DECEMBER 2-6)
\nTransitional pattern. December 2 sees rain to start, drying to end. A break December 3. Next system brings rain and\/or snow later December 4 into December 5, with colder air coming in during and after its passage.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (DECEMBER 7-11)
\nOverall colder pattern becomes established as we head into a polar jet stream dominated set-up but cannot rule out at least some moisture from the subtropical jet still becoming involved with a passing northern system. While the overall trend is toward drier, as in less southern jet stream storminess impacting the region, it’s still an active pattern for the polar jet with colder air and so the chance of minor but colder systems increases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
