Two powerful weather systems will impact 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.

Strong high pressure will control the weather around here for much of the week despite a frontal passage or two. We’ll start off the holiday week with sunny and pleasant conditions and highs near the 70 degree mark. A gradual warming trend will ensue on Tuesday leading us up to a nice day on Thanksgiving with highs by then back in the middle 70’s across central Florida to go along with mainly sunny skies.

Strong high pressure off the SE US coastline will continue to control the weather around here as we close out the work week. Low pressure will form over the Tennessee Valley on Saturday and wind up near the Mid-Atlantic coastline by early Sunday. The precipitation for this system will stay to our north, but a frontal system extending southward from the low will side through our area on Sunday.

The big players over the next few days will be a ridge of high pressure over the Gulf of Mexico and a deep upper-level trough sliding from the SW US to the eastern US. Surface high pressure will stay in control around here and our rather decent stretch of weather will continue into the weekend. The next front of note will cross Florida on Sunday and this will result in an increase in winds and a slightly higher chance of showers.

High pressure has expanded eastward from the nation’s midsection into the eastern part of the US. This high will have an impact here with a general NW flow of air for the next couple days keeping us dry and comfortable. By later this week, our temperatures will rebound back to the mid and upper 70’s as the high pressure ridging slips off the eastern seaboard.

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 actually have an impact here with a general NW flow of air for the next couple days keeping us a bit on the cool side. By later this week, our temperatures will rebound back to the mid and upper 70’s as the high pressure ridging slips off the eastern seaboard.

A strong low pressure system is tracking off the Mid-Atlantic coastline and its impact around here will wane as the pressure gradient relaxes in this area. Another frontal system will approach Florida over the next 24 hours and its passage will ensure below-normal temperatures as we head into the middle of the week.

A cold front will slide through Florida today at the same time low pressure forms just off the northeast Florida coast. The combination will generate showers across central Florida and there can be some embedded thunderstorm activity as well. As the low intensifies over the southwest Atlantic on Saturday, it push a drier air mass into the region resulting in mainly rain-free conditions albeit on the cool side.

A southwest flow develops aloft as a mid-level trough of low pressure moves over the western Gulf of Mexico. This system will phase with another trough and the result will be surface low pressure nearby during the early part of the weekend. This low pressure system will intensify over the weekend as it moves over the western Atlantic Ocean and it will likely have some impact on Florida and then up along the Southeast US/Mid-Atlantic coastlines.

A strong cold frontal system has passed through the region and has ushered in cooler air for the second half of the week. In addition to the cool down, winds will pick up and it’ll become quite unsettled for the next few days with a daily chance of showers. In fact, it looks like the unsettled conditions will last into the upcoming weekend across central Florida and it’ll even turn a bit cooler.
