DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 24-29)
\nHigh pressure builds in today which will be a fair and “November nice” day, a little cool but not bad. This high slips off to the east Tuesday, another nice but even milder day in which many locations may reach or slightly exceed 50 for high temperatures. These are both good days for travel and errands and just regular commutes in the region, at least in terms of weather. We don’t go 3 for 3 however, as Wednesday will be an unsettled, albeit mild day, as a mature low pressure area traveling through the Great Lakes and into the St. Lawrence Valley pushes a frontal system across the region. This front, in its occlusion stage, will start to spawn a new low pressure area just as it passes offshore, and while this won’t make the day any stormier, it will serve to pull down some chilly and dry air in time for Thanksgiving Day on Thursday. There may be enough cold air aloft for some passing clouds and even a brief sprinkle of rain or flurry of snow, but the day will be dry otherwise, just breezy and chilly, so you’ll want to keep that in mind for football game and local travel. Thursday night \/ early Friday, for those venturing back from holiday visits or venturing out to join the ranks of shoppers in the dark of night, it’ll be on the cold side, and still rather breezy, so dress for it. It will not be as brutally cold as last year was, however. The daytime hours of Friday will be dry and chilly as well, as we’ll be in a northerly air flow as the new low that went offshore later Wednesday will still be out there in large, mean form, just too far east to have any direct impact on this area besides a gusty breeze.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 30-DECEMBER 4)
\nDry, breezy, cool November 30 as a northwesterly air flow hangs on for at least part of the day. And then when December comes, forecast confidence plunges. Today we still have 3 different solutions from 3 major models as to the evolution of an upcoming storm threat to start off the new month. And please don’t take the phrase “storm threat” as “uh-oh, here comes a big storm”. It probably won’t be that powerful a system, but it may take a while to evolve and occur, with the details not really decipherable until we get a little closer. For now, I am staying with yesterday’s idea of a drawn out, multi-stage evolution, which would result in cloudiness arriving with a light precipitation threat eventually for December 1, milder air taking over with a rain threat for December 2, then a switch to windy, colder, drier weather behind the departing system December 3-4. That’s the general idea for now, but it’s subject to change for sure.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (DECEMBER 5-9)
\nNo changes to this part of the outlook. Looking for lack of subtropical jet stream overall with mean ridge position between the US Southeast and lower Mississippi Valley, fast flowing polar jet stream to the north. Will have to watch the boundary between in case unsettled weather tries to string out along it and impact this area longer. Otherwise most systems are quick moving and relatively minor with temperature swings rather frequent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
