One major storm is bringing heavy snowfall to parts of the Rocky Mountains and central Plains and another is about to slam into the west coast of the US. Heavy snow from the first storm continues across the Rockies and has stretched into the central Plains and it’ll make a push into the Upper Midwest on Wednesday. This same system will then head eastward and drag a strong cold front across the Mid-Atlantic/NE US tomorrow evening and the winds will become quite strong with gusts past 40 mph. The second major storm will rapidly intensify before making landfall later tonight near the California/Oregon border and it will bring heavy rain and damaging winds to coastal sections and tremendous snows to inland higher elevation locations of the Sierra Nevada mountain range where the snow will be measured in feet over the next few days. This second storm will cross the nation and arrive in the Mid-Atlantic/NE US this weekend where there will be a lot of cold air and accumulating ice and snow could be the result in interior sections.

Two powerful weather systems will impact the nation over the next few days which includes the big travel day tomorrow and Turkey Day on Thursday. The first system is already bringing heavy snow to the Rocky Mountain States and this storm will intensify rapidly as it heads towards the Upper Midwest on Wednesday. The result will be a wide swath of significant accumulating snow from Denver to Minneapolis - just in time for Thanksgiving Day. Another storm will become a powerhouse for the west coast and it will bring damaging (hurricane-force) winds and heavy mountain snows of more than a foot (e.g. Sierra Nevada). This storm will arrive tonight near the California/Oregon border and then will begin to gradually weaken as it moves inland.

High pressure will take control today and we’ll start off the holiday week with a dry and moderately chilly day in the Tennessee Valley. A strong cold front will cross the northern US over the next few days and it’ll arrive here by early Wednesday. Strong, cold high pressure will build into the north-central and northeast US later this week following the passage of the cold front and this will result in a windy, cool Thanksgiving Day in the northern Alabama region.

A weak cold front will approach the region later today and temperatures will again climb well into the 60’s in the southerly flow ahead of the front. Low pressure will form early this weekend over the Tennessee Valley and give us a continuing chance of showers, maybe a thunderstorm, as we head into the upcoming weekend. Another frontal passage will clear the way for improvement on Sunday albeit on the cooler side.

High pressure will continue to provide us with quiet and mild conditions today as temperatures climb through the 60’s by days end. A weak cold front will approach the region later Friday and temperatures will again climb well into the 60’s in the southerly flow ahead of the front. Low pressure will form early this weekend over the Tennessee Valley and give us a chance of showers, but then another frontal passage will clear the way for improvement on Sunday albeit on the cooler side.

A potent wave of energy in the upper part of the atmosphere will help to form low pressure over the Tennessee Valley on Saturday morning and then it will travel to the Mid-Atlantic coastline by early Sunday. Rain is likely to break out later Saturday in the I-95 corridor and continue until early Sunday at which time drier air will begin to arrive and lead to improving conditions as the weekend winds down. There will be some cold air around for the weekend system, but the best chance for snow is likely to be confined to areas far west and north of the I-95 corridor (e.g., West Virginia to western/northern PA).

High pressure will continue to provide us with quiet and relatively mild conditions for the next couple of days. By week’s end, another cold front will cross the region and temperatures will take a step downward in the Tennessee Valley as we begin the upcoming weekend. In fact, highs on Friday afternoon should make it to the middle 60’s, but then likely be confined to the low-to-mid 50’s on Saturday.

A strong low pressure system is now pulling away from the NE US and into the Canadian Maritimes at the same time high pressure builds across the nation’s midsection. This high will have an impact here with generally quiet weather over the next few days and a gradual warming trend. By week’s end, another cold front will cross the region and temperatures will take a step downward in the Tennessee Valley as we begin the upcoming weekend.

The new week will start off on the chilly side with highs today confined to the middle 50’s across northern Alabama. High pressure ridging will edge into the region at mid-week and this will bring us mainly sunny conditions and higher temperatures. By later in the week, temperatures should climb to the middle 60’s and there will be an increasing chance of showers as low pressure approaches from the west.

Today will be a rather decent day in northern Alabama with highs right around the 50 degree mark to end the work week. A gradual warming trend will begin this weekend and we’ll climb towards the 60 degree mark for highs during the early part of next week. Strong low pressure will form over the western Atlantic Ocean this weekend, but it appears its impact will be east of here first over the Florida Peninsula and then up along the coastlines of the Southeast US and Mid-Atlantic.
