A cold front will bring showers to the region tonight. Our computer data suggests between .35" and .50" of rain by mid-morning tomorrow. Following the frontal passage, the sun will make an appearance tomorrow afternoon. If you're doing some early holiday travel tomorrow, morning showers will be the rule from Virginia Beach north through New England. The most significant issues will be over the interior Northeast and Great Lakes, where snow could be a problem. Cities like Detroit, Cleveland and Buffalo will get some of the white stuff and there could be some airport delays in Pittsburgh with snow showers in the forecast. Elsewhere, it looks quiet from the Southeast through the nation's mid-section and all the way to the West Coast.
The big travel day on Wednesday...
Wednesday and Thursday will bring a good amount of sunshine here, with afternoon highs near 50 on Wednesday and in the mid 50s for Thanksgiving. Holiday travel on Wednesday won't be terribly impacted by Mother Nature, although there will be more problems over the Great Lakes, with some steady snow in some locations near Lakes Erie and Ontario. Snow showers will also be scattered through the Appalachians in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. More quiet weather is expected from the Southeast through the Central U.S. and in the Pacific Northwest. A storm system entering California could bring some rain to Southern California and Nevada.
The rest of the holiday weekend here...
A rather potent system passing to our south may bring some showers later Friday and Saturday. The Southeast could see a soaking rain from this disturbance before it exits the coast later Saturday. Cooler air will be back with us later in the weekend and there are some signs that more cold air will be taking over next week. Our longer range computer data is having trouble figuring out all the details, but I have a hunch that we're going to see some snow during the first two weeks of December (possibly as early as next week). Keep that in mind...you heard it hear first...and we might be talking some accumulation!
Winter Outlook coming...
With all this talk of cold and maybe even some winter weather, I know everyone is anxious for the Winter Outlook. I'm putting the finishing touches on it, and it will be posted on my main site either tomorrow night or Wednesday, and I'll be giving a summary on Wednesday during "Kat's Cafe" on Lite 98 and "Afternoons with Tony Booth" on WBBT-107.3. Stay tuned...
