The unseasonably warm conditions of last week and the earlier part of this week will be but a memory in the Mid-Atlantic region and Northeast US by the time we get to the middle of next week. One strong cold front will arrive on Sunday night and usher in a chilly air mass for the middle of November as we begin the new work week and then a secondary cold front will push through by late Tuesday and pave the way for an even colder air mass by mid-week. Many spots in the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US have already experienced at or below-freezing temperatures this season, but, if not, additional opportunities will come on both late Tuesday night and late Wednesday night of next week.

It turned cooler yesterday in the Mid-Atlantic region following the passage of a slow-moving cold front and it’ll turn even cooler on Saturday as Canadian high pressure builds into the area. Another cold front will cross the region on Sunday night and it’ll lead to even chillier weather by the middle of next week.

A slow-moving cool front will push through the region today and temperatures will hold steady or even drop some after reaching highs early in the morning. High pressure will build over the region on Friday and into the weekend and it’ll be noticeably cooler than the record-warmth experienced here earlier in the week. Another frontal system will approach the area late in the weekend and it could bring with it some shower activity before high pressure takes over again early next week.

Our extended stretch of warm and rain-free weather will come to an end today as some decent rainfall is approaching the area ahead of a slow-moving cool front. The steadiest rain is likely from later this afternoon into Thursday and some of it can be heavy at times. High pressure will follow the cool frontal passage and it’ll anchor a cooler air mass for the late week; especially, when compared to our recent abnormally warm weather. After a cool and dry start to the weekend, another low pressure system to our southwest could impact the area with more rainfall by Sunday.

Our extended stretch of warm and rain-free weather is about to come to an end as some decent rain should fall from later tomorrow into Thursday and then it’ll turn cooler as we end the work week. A slow-moving cold front will be the culprit behind the mid-week rain event and then high pressure that follows will anchor a cooler air mass compared to recent days. After a cool, dry start to the weekend, another low pressure system could impact the area with more rainfall on Saturday night and Sunday morning and this system could get a boost from leftover moisture associated with Tropical Storm Eta.

An extended stretch of mild weather continues today in the Mid-Atlantic region as strong high pressure ridging dominates the scene, but it will shift off the coast by tomorrow. A strong cold front will press eastward into the eastern states at mid-week and this system will likely result in some soaking rainfall around here – something we haven’t seen in awhile. High pressure builds back in later in the week and it’ll turn somewhat cooler.

An extended stretch of mild weather has begun in the eastern half of the nation as strong high pressure ridging dominates at all levels of the atmosphere. Given the time of year with increasingly long nights, this mild weather pattern will be quite conducive to the formation of late night and early morning fog. On the tropical scene, the remnants of Hurricane Eta are likely to re-emerge over the Caribbean Sea later today and could pose a threat to Cuba and southern Florida by early next week.

High pressure will stay in control of the weather around here right through the early part of next week. As a result, there will be plenty of sunshine each day and temperatures will remain quite comfortable for the early part of November. In addition, patchy fog is likely in coming days during the late night and early morning hours. On the tropical scene, the remnants of Hurricane Eta are likely to re-emerge over the Caribbean Sea on Friday and then push towards Cuba and southern Florida early next week.

High pressure will stay in control of the weather around here for the remainder of the week and also right through the upcoming weekend. As a result, there will be plenty of sunshine each day through Sunday and temperatures will be more comfortable overall compared to the chilly past couple of days.

Eta is a “major” hurricane and is edging its way to the northeastern coastline of Nicaragua in Central America. The extreme strength of Hurricane Eta combined with its very slow movement is bad news as it will likely result in catastrophic wind damage, tremendous rainfall amounts of up to three feet in some spots, and landslides in some of the higher terrain sections of Central America. After landfall in northeastern Nicaragua later today, Hurricane Eta will inch slowly westward over the next couple of days and push over Honduras on Thursday. Later in the week, a developing trough over the northern Gulf of Mexico should cause Eta (or its remnants) to turn northward and then to the northeast. This change in course will likely result in a re-strengthening of Eta as it pushes back out over the open waters of the western Caribbean Sea by the early part of the weekend and then the threat from this tropical system will perhaps shift to Cuba and southern Florida by the latter part of the weekend or early part of next week.
