Good Wednesday to one and all. Our major blast of winter weather is now behind us with milder winds taking over. This will boost temps to above normal for the end of the week into the start of the weekend, but more changes blow in after that.
Temps today hit the 50s. Temps Thursday reach the mid 50s to mid 60s.
Even milder air surges in on Friday and may be accompanied by a band of showers…
Temps are in the 40s under the showers with mid and upper 60s in the west. Those are the temps that surge in here on Saturday with the chance to hit 70 on a strong southwest wind.
That wind is ahead of a cold front dropping in from the northwest later Sunday and Monday. That has some showers with it and much colder air coming in behind it and may feature another system zipping through a few days later…
Check out how quickly we go from well above normal to below normal again…
Temps should bounce way back up later next week into the weekend before Thanksgiving. The potential for a couple of large, disruptive storm systems is there for Thanksgiving week. The amount of blocking going up in the high latitudes suggest some wild possibilities are there.
You can see all the back and forth on the EURO AI and GFS…
They just have their normal differences, but the theme is same.
The EURO Weeklies continue to go toward a coast to coast looking cold pattern developing from the end of November into December. Watch the whole evolution if this from the end of November through the day after Christmas…
Again, that can bring a lot of winter fun and games to our region and for much of the country. If you like cold and snow to get you in the Christmas spirit, then the spirits should be pretty high this December.
I’ll update things again later today. Make it a good one and take care.
Here’s the latest from the Climate Impact Company : )

The various tele -connections, the EPO, AO, and the NAO are forecast to phase strongly negative sometime soon. We will have another ” Omega Block ” in the next few days, meaning warmer, drier weather. When the colder weather arrives, will we have a complete low pressure to give us a Snowstorm. Looks like no. Most of the Snowstorm will be in the Northern States, and in the State of Maine. If we had ENSO / El Nino operating in a positive PDO, we could receive training Snowstorms. This setup was the Winter 1969 – 70. Off and on Snowstorms occured. In South Central Indiana, a foot of Snow fell on Christmas Eve, and again on New Years Eve. A very interesting Winter, and I’m glad it happened in my lifetime.
