It stays chilly and dry on Wednesday, but then turns somewhat milder on Thursday ahead of the next cold frontal system. That next front will bring us a threat of PM showers on Friday and then another chilly air mass should push into the Mid-Atlantic region for the weekend.

The overall weather pattern has been rather quiet across much of the nation in recent days, but a more active pattern appears to be setting up as we approach the middle of November. In the near term, a strong storm system will slide east across the Gulf of Mexico producing significant rainfall in the region from Louisiana to Florida where it has been quite dry in recent weeks. In addition, California and the rest of west coast will get significant rainfall (low elevations) and snowfall (high elevations) during the second half of the week. In the longer term, there are signs for a strong system by the middle of next week that can have an impact in the eastern states during a busy travel time. In terms of temperatures, this unfolding weather pattern appears to be one that can feature multiple cold air outbreaks across the northern states and this idea is supported by some teleconnection indices such as the MJO and EPO. One such cold air outbreak may very well sweep across the nation later next week…just in time to make for a cold Turkey Day for many.

Colder air will push into the Mid-Atlantic region today following the passage of a cold front and this time, the chilly air will stick around.
