A dry start to the long weekend...but a wet finish...

We'll get the long holiday weekend off to a terrific start with plenty of sunshine tomorrow and afternoon highs in the seasonable mid and upper 50s. We could touch 60 on Friday, with increasing clouds as a front approaches from the west. It appears this front won't be able to squeeze out any rain, and in its wake we'll see a blend of clouds and sun on Saturday. It will be a little cooler, with afternoon highs in the low 50s. The problem this weekend will come on Sunday, as an area of low pressure approaches from the west and a second low develops on the coast. An onshore flow will bring abundant moisture, and periods of rain are likely throughout the day. Out in West Virginia, it may be cold enough for some snow. Travel could be impacted up and down the eastern seaboard from NYC to Florida. Be prepared and leave plenty of time if you have to travel. There will likely be airport delays as well, as this system will probably have an impact on connection cities like Charlotte, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, New York and Chicago.

Don't forget to check out the Winter Outlook...

My 8th Annual Winter Outlook is now posted on the main site. There's a 5-minute video presentation and the full text online. Check it out!

Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving weekend!
