7:00 AM | *Nice weather for travel day...decent looking for Turkey Day as well*

Paul Dorian

The weather stays pretty tranquil around here through tomorrow, Thanksgiving Day, and temperatures will be more seasonal with highs both days likely in the mid-to-upper 50’s. A weak cool front can bring us showers on Friday with temperatures remaining on the moderate side. A low pressure system will likely generate more showers around around here from Saturday night into Sunday.

7:00 AM | **Near record or record cold in some spots to start the week...moderation by mid-week...decent looking Turkey Day**

Paul Dorian

The week starts off very cold for this time of year with near record or record cold in some spots, but the unusual early season chill will ease a bit by the middle of the week. High pressure will push to the north of here during the next few days and then a low pressure system is likely to develop to our southwest by the end of the week or during the upcoming weekend.

6:45 AM | **PM snow or rain shower possible...cold right through the weekend with highs on Sunday likely confined to the mid 30's...milder by the middle of next week**

Paul Dorian

Colder-than-normal weather will continue here through the weekend as a reinforcing shot of Canadian air pushes into the eastern states. The cold front could touch off a rain or snow shower later in the afternoon and during the early evening. The core of the cold air mass will move overhead on Sunday likely making it the coldest day of the next few with temperatures struggling to escape the middle 30’s for afternoon highs. The unusual early season chill in the Mid-Atlantic region will ease during the first half of next week.

2:15 PM (Thurs) | ***A wintry look across the nation with coast-to-coast cold…intense Great Lakes snow event with "thundersnow"...Rockies snow…and perhaps an eastern US storm threat late next week***

Paul Dorian

Temperatures across most of the nation remain below-normal for this time of year and will continue to do so through the upcoming weekend. Accumulating snow is now falling in parts of the Rocky Mountain States and an intense Great Lakes snow event is just getting underway. In fact, the lake effect snow event that is just getting underway looks like it’ll be of long-duration possibly producing as much as 3-6 feet in places like Buffalo and Watertown of western New York State. Looking ahead, there are signs that after a milder first half of next week in the eastern states, the overall weather pattern could get interesting by the end of next week with a powerful coastal storm on the table…something to monitor in coming days.

7:00 AM | **Temperatures to remain well below-normal right through the weekend**

Paul Dorian

The cold weather pattern will continue here right through the weekend as “reinforcements” head in this direction from central Canada. In fact, it turns even colder over the next few days and temperatures later this weekend will struggle to escape the 30’s which is well below the normal highs in the mid-to-upper 50’s. The winds will increase in intensify later today with gusts up to 30 mph or so and this will make it feel even colder than the actual air temperature and it’ll stay quite brisk on Friday and Saturday as well.

1:30 PM (Wed) - ***Nationwide cold wave continues with numerous low temperature records likely to be set…intense Great Lakes snow event on the way***

Paul Dorian

Temperatures across the nation this morning averaged out to an impressive reading of nearly 12 degrees (F) below-normal for mid-November and no state in the Lower 48 escaped the colder-than-normal chill. The first widespread snow event of the season took place late yesterday in the interior, higher elevation locations of the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US with half of foot of snow recorded in some areas. The next few days will feature a “Great Lakes snow-making machine” that will be turned on in full force and the result may be several feet of snow in some downstream locations such as Buffalo and Watertown in western New York. The nationwide cold will continue right through the upcoming weekend.

7:00 AM | **An even colder air mass arrives on Thursday and temperatures stay far below-normal through Monday**

Paul Dorian

Coastal low pressure will depart from southern New England today and chilly high pressure will begin to build into the region from our west. Temperatures will remain below-normal here at mid-week as they’ll climb towards the 50 degree mark for afternoon highs (normal high now at DCA is 58 degrees). Winds pick up on Thursday and It turns even colder with the arrival of a reinforcing cold air mass after a frontal passage. This next cold shot will keep temperatures far below-normal from tomorrow all the way from tomorrow into the early part of next week and temperatures this weekend temperatures will struggle to pass the 40 degree mark for afternoon highs.

2:00 PM | ***Coast-to-coast cold continues through the weekend…numerous low temperature records on the way…snow today interior Mid-Atl./NE US…intense Great Lakes snow event on the way***

Paul Dorian

This “middle” week of the month of November could turn out to be one of the coldest in a long, long time for the nation as a whole with virtually coast-to-coast colder-than-normal weather conditions. There was a smattering of low temperature records set this morning across the central and western US and numerous records are likely to be set later this week and weekend; especially, across the central states where temperatures could drop to as much as thirty degrees below normal for this time of year.

In terms of snowfall in this unusual early season cold wave, it looks like the first widespread snow of the season will take place from later today into early Wednesday across interior, higher elevation sections of the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US. Later this week, an intense Great Lakes snow event will kick into gear with paralyzing amounts of snow possible in some spots such as Buffalo and Watertown in western New York.

7:00 AM | **Low pressure intensifies off the Mid-Atlantic coastline later tonight and brings us a cold, soaking rain**

Paul Dorian

Low pressure will form later today near the Mid-Atlantic coastline and then intensify later tonight as it pushes to the northeast over the western Atlantic Ocean. Rain will likely develop here by mid-afternoon and continue tonight moderate-to-heavy at times. It may just cold enough for snowflakes to mix in at times tonight across some of Washington D.C.’s far northern and western suburbs and some accumulating snow is likely across far western Virginia and eastern West Virginia. After the departure of the low on Wednesday, high pressure will build back into the region as a reinforcing cold air mass moves in from the northwest. In fact, high temperatures at the end of the week are likely to struggle to reach the lower 40’s which is well below-normal for mid-November.
