Discussion

Winds will be noticeably lower today as high pressure edges into the Mid-Atlantic region from the Ohio Valley, but it’ll remain colder-than-normal for the latter stages of November. A weak disturbance can cause some light rain around here on Friday or perhaps even a bit of sleet and/or freezing rain in the colder suburbs and then a more important system is likely to - yet again - generate weekend rain from later Saturday into early Sunday. Temperatures will stay on the chilly side on Friday and Saturday, but there will be a noticeable warm up to close out the weekend. Looking ahead to next week, the overall pattern turns colder again in the eastern US and there are likely to be a couple of shots of snow during the first couple weeks of December.
