Good evening, folks. Like many of you, it’s a busy day for your friendly weatherdude, but I wanted to stop by for a quick update on the pattern ahead. In the overall scheme of things, I don’t have a lot of changes to the thoughts I’ve been putting out for a while now.

Rain is increasing from west to east this evening and will continue through the first half of Saturday…

The next system is still slated to arrive later Sunday and Sunday night. Temps hit the 60s ahead of this system  on a gusty southwesterly wind. Gusty showers roll through here Sunday evening with a rapid temp crash to follow. That means a period of light snow and flurries late Sunday night into Monday morning. A cold northwesterly wind means a few flakes may fly through Monday evening.

Temps behind this are COLD. Highs stay in the 30s for much of next week, but gusty winds make it feel even colder.

The models are all over the place with how to handle all the cold air and storm systems working across the country. The late Tuesday-Wednesday weak system has the look of a upper level system dropping in from the northwest. Watch how the Euro brings light snow in here…

Another northwesterly flow system tries to show up later in the week…

That should be followed by a bigger storm system at some point next weekend.

The pattern as we head into early December continues to look very cold for much of the country, especially in the eastern half…

So much for a quick post… I just can’t help myself. 🙂

Have a great evening and take care.
