<\/p>\nGood Wednesday, folks. We’re setting the stage for a MUCH colder weather pattern across much of the country in the coming weeks. The setup has the potential to unleash some nasty early season cold air masses. The process is starting in the coming days, but should really kick into high gear next week.<\/p>\n
A cold front is crossing the state today and is bringing showers with it. Some locally heavy downpours are possible, especially in the south and east. Temps will stay in the 50s for highs…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Current Temperatures<\/span><\/strong> Another cold front arrives Thursday with a few gusty showers. Temps may start in the 50s before falling through the 40s during the afternoon from west to east. This colder air may set the stage for a snowflake or two Thursday night into Friday morning.<\/p>\n That scoots away pretty quickly with highs in the 40s on Friday with an improving afternoon sky.<\/p>\n Yet another cold front surges in here Saturday afternoon with another band of showers and gusty winds. Temps will also drop quickly behind that boundary with upper 20s and low 30s and a few flurries by Sunday morning.<\/p>\n The main show continues to be the increasing threat for a MAJOR blast of arctic air next week. This sweeps in late Tuesday and sets the stage for the possibility of a memorable early season cold snap across the country. The GFS…<\/p>\n We have to watch for the potential of another arctic attack later this month or into early December. The CFS shows another healthy shot of cold during that time…<\/p>\n The same model runs throw some snow into the mix during the same time period…<\/p>\n

<\/a>That introduces a prolonged period of very cold air. This run of the GFS gives us several days in a row with lows in the teens…<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
