A cold front passed through the region late yesterday and, in its wake, today will feature chilly and increasingly windy conditions with NW winds gusting to 30 mph or so. 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.

Forty-eight years have passed since a major storm over the Great Lakes helped to sink the SS Edmund Fitzgerald on Lake Superior taking the lives of all 29 crew members on November 10th, 1975. When launched on June 7, 1958, it was the largest ship on North America's Great Lakes, and to this day she remains the largest to have sunk there. The Edmund Fitzgerald was in the worst possible location during the worst weather of the ferocious storm. The wind and waves from the west hit the freighter broadside as it tried to flee south to safety in Whitefish Bay. The Edmund Fitzgerald was loaded with about 26,000 tons of taconite pellets on November 9th, 1975, at Superior, Wisconsin and was bound for Detroit, Michigan when the storm hit.

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. After the threat of occasional light rain today, Canadian high pressure will take control of the weather as we head into the weekend and it’ll help to anchor this chilly air mass in place. As a result, temperatures should stay below-normal from today through Monday with the return of milder air later next week. One final note and for those interested, it looks like it’ll be chilly (40’s) and dry tomorrow in State College, PA for the noontime game between Penn State and Michigan.
