If you still have to put up outside Christmas lights and rake some more leaves then this weekend may be the last chance for awhile with seasonal temperatures in the eastern US. There are increasing signs for a major pattern shift to winter weather conditions in the central and eastern US beginning late next week that will feature a combination of strong upper-level blocking over the northern latitudes and a deep trough of low pressure over the central/eastern US. Once this pattern sets up it could very well stick around for much of the month of December which would, of course, increase our odds for a white Christmas. Before that, however, the overall weather pattern will be rather quiet for the next week or so featuring mild conditions for the next two days and then a rather unimpressive cold frontal passage that will bring us seasonably chilly air for the end of the week, weekend, and early part of next week.

High pressure has pushed off the east coast and the result will be a shift in low-level winds from the northwest-to-southwest. This type of air flow will bring milder air to the Mid-Atlantic region and highs during the next two should climb well up in the 50’s across the NYC metro region. A cold front will slide through the region by Thursday and we’ll turn cooler again for the end of the week.

High pressure will edge into the region today and while it’ll remain on the chilly side for this time of year, the winds should lighten up compared to yesterday. As this high pressure pushes off the coast later tonight and Tuesday, our low-level winds will turn to a southwesterly direction and pump in milder air for Tuesday and Wednesday. Another cold front is likely to push colder air back into the region later in the week.

A cold front has just pushed through the region and it’ll turn out some five-to-ten degrees colder this afternoon compared to yesterday. High pressure will take control for the next few days, but we’ll be on the chilly side of normal from today through Friday despite plenty of sunshine. It’ll turn slightly milder again on Saturday just ahead of the next cold front and there could be a shower, but then temperatures will drop again on Sunday and Monday following the frontal passage and NW winds will kick up in intensity. The colder-than-normal weather pattern that developed during the first half of the month in the I-95 corridor looks like it will continue right to the end of November with additional cold air outbreaks.

High pressure has pushed off the Mid-Atlantic coastline and this will allow for lower atmosphere winds to turn to more of a southwesterly direction and pump in somewhat milder air compared to the past couple of days. This warm up, however, will be rather brief as another cold front drops through the region early tomorrow and this frontal passage will set the stage for a colder Wednesday and a chilly Thursday (Thanksgiving Day) and Friday. It may turn slightly milder again on Saturday just ahead of the next cold front and there could be a rain shower, but then temperatures will drop some following the frontal passage to end the weekend.

High pressure will build into the region today and then push off the mid-Atlantic coastline by tomorrow. As a result, it'll remain chilly today, but southwest winds will boost temperatures well into the 50's on Tuesday. Another cold front will arrive by early Wednesday and it’ll usher in more chilly air for Thanksgiving Day.

Somewhat reminiscent of the storm that brought down the “SS Edmund Fitzgerald” in November 1975, a major storm will develop over Great Lakes this weekend and produce dangerous wind gusts in that area and winds here in the I-95 corridor could gust to 50 mph or so on Sunday behind the passage of a powerful cold front. This next cold shot will continue an overall colder-than-normal weather pattern for November that looks like it will stay intact to the end of the month with additional cold air outbreaks to follow. In fact, another cold air outbreak is likely to reach the Mid-Atlantic region at mid-week and result in a cold Turkey Day for the entire Northeast US.

A strong cold front crossed the region yesterday and ushered in a cold air mass for this time of year, but temperatures will moderate tomorrow ahead of another strong cold frontal system. Showers are likely later tomorrow and/or tomorrow night as that next front arrives and winds will pick up noticeably by early Sunday. A very windy and cold day is in store for the region on Sunday with gusts to 45 mph and while Monday will remain on the cold side, the winds will be much calmer to start the new (short) work week. All in all, next week looks to be cold and dry with cold, breezy conditions expected on Turkey Day.

A strong cold front will cross the region today and winds will pick up quite noticeably during the afternoon and early evening hours from a W-NW direction. Temperatures will climb into the upper 50’s before the colder air arrives, but will then drop into the mid 30's by early tomorrow morning. After a cold day to end the work week, temperatures will rebound on Saturday ahead of the next Arctic front which will usher in another cold air mass for this time of year. The second half of the weekend will be cold and windy and it looks like Thanksgiving week will be mainly on the chilly side.

High pressure will control our weather today and provide some sunshine for the area, but temperatures will remain below-normal for this time of year. Another strong cold front will cross the region early tomorrow and the winds will pick up noticeably during the afternoon and evening hours and we'll drop towards freezing by early Friday morning. After a cold Friday, temperatures will rebound a bit on Saturday ahead of the next Arctic front which will usher in another very cold air mass for this time of year to end the weekend and begin the new week.
