Good Saturday, everyone. It’s a wet start to the weekend, but dry air takes control later today and carries us into early Sunday. That won’t last too long because another system blows across the region Sunday night, unleashing another very cold pattern.

As mentioned, the early day rains will push to the east during the afternoon…

Some sun returns to the western half of the state before the day is finished. Temps are about normal for this time of year with 50-55 for many areas.

Sunday is a mild day with low 60s for many as a gusty southwesterly wind kicks in. That wind is ahead of a low pressure working from the Mississippi Valley into the Great Lakes. Showers increase from west to east this evening into the wee hours of Monday. As temps crash behind a cold front, a period of light snow and flurries will be noted through Monday morning…

Monday is a very cold day with highs in the 30s, but gusty winds make it feel even colder.

That’s a very deep trough taking control of the weather through the middle of the week…

I’ve highlighted a disturbance rotating around the big upper level low. That system dives in from the northwest by Tuesday night and Wednesday and could bring some light snow or flurries with it.

That’s a lot of much colder than normal air centered right on top of us for the final week of November…

That cold shot tries to finally lift out by the end of the week and we may see a system bring rain, snow or a mix of the two…

The storm that follows that next weekend may cut to our west, bringing similar temps to what we have out there this weekend. As that storm passes, the cold overwhelms the region once again into the first week of December. That’s when the blocking is forecast to really get established, leading to additional early season fun and games.

I will have another update later today. Make it a good one and take care.
