7:00 AM | *Looking wet for part of Thanksgiving Day...windy and cold this weekend and cold pattern likely to extend well into December*

Paul Dorian

A cold front will cross the region on Tuesday and it is likely to bring some rain to the area from late tonight into early Thursday. After the frontal passage, it’ll be chilly on Wednesday with partly sunny skies and then attention turns to a low pressure system that will approach the region from the southwest. This system will likely push rain into the area from late Wednesday night into Thursday and then it should turn out to chilly and breezy on Friday with clearing skies. The weekend looks windy and cold in the Mid-Atlantic region and the colder-than-normal pattern that sets up this weekend is likely to last through at least the first full week of December.

7:15 AM | *The role of the weather in the assassination of President Kennedy on November 22nd, 1963*

Paul Dorian

The weather in Dallas, Texas had been rainy, and the weather forecast was for more rain on November 22nd, 1963. If the forecast had turned out to be correct with more rain on that fateful day, then that would have likely meant that a plexiglass bubble top would have been used on President John F. Kennedy’s 1961 Lincoln Convertible on a planned motorcade through the Dallas metro region. But the weather cleared unexpectedly, the protective top was removed from the car, and shots rang out in the early afternoon hours at Dealey Plaza killing the 35th President and seriously wounding Texas Governor John Connally.

7:00 AM | *Dry, mild conditions for the next couple of days*

Paul Dorian

While both the northwest and northeast sections of the country get impacted by powerful storm systems, the Colorado Rockies and Colorado plains will enjoy relatively quiet and mild weather for the next few days. The pattern does turn colder and more unsettled by the early or middle parts of next week, but for the next couple of days high temperatures should be in the 60’s along with plenty of sunshine.

6:00 AM | ***First snow of the season in many suburbs along the I-95 corridor...significant mountain snows***

Paul Dorian

Colder air has wrapped into our slow-moving storm system and there will be plenty of moisture to deal with today throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. As a result, snow or a mix of rain and snow is likely this morning across many of the northern and western suburbs and there can be small grassy accumulations. Any snow that falls this morning is likely to change back to rain this afternoon as the overall upward motion in the atmosphere weakens. Significant snowfall is likely across the higher elevation locations of northwestern New Jersey and across the Catskills and Adirondacks in upstate NY where early season skiing conditions should be quite good. Any snow that falls will be of the “wet” variety as low-level temperatures will be “borderline” throughout this event.

Colder air has wrapped into our slow-moving storm system and there will be plenty of moisture to deal with today throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. As a result, snow is likely this morning across many of the northern and western suburbs and there can be small grassy accumulations…watch out for slick spots on roadways. Any snow that falls this morning is likely to change back to rain this afternoon as the overall upward motion in the atmosphere weakens. Significant snowfall is likely across the higher elevation locations of northeastern PA including the Pocono Mountains where early season skiing conditions should be quite good. The snow that falls will be of the “wet” variety as low-level temperatures will be “borderline” throughout this event.

6:00 AM | ***First snow of the season in many suburbs along the I-95 corridor...significant mountains snows***

Paul Dorian

Colder air has wrapped into our slow-moving storm system and there will be plenty of moisture to deal with today throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. As a result, snow is likely later this morning across many of the northern and western suburbs and there can be small grassy accumulations. Any snow that falls later this morning is likely to change back to rain this afternoon as the overall upward motion in the atmosphere weakens. Significant snowfall is falling across the the higher elevation locations of western Maryland (Garrett County) and across central and eastern West Virginia where early season skiing conditions should be quite good. Any snow that falls will be of the “wet” variety as low-level temperatures will be “borderline” throughout this event.

1:30 PM | ***Atmosphere turns colder leading to the first snow in many spots along the I-95 corridor...significant mountain snows in the Mid-Atlantic...cold pattern late November into December***

Paul Dorian

A strong cold front passed through in the overnight hours with a band of heavy rainfall and gusty winds and colder air has followed into the Mid-Atlantic region. Surface low pressure has formed along the northern Mid-Atlantic coastline, and instead of pushing to the north, it will be “forced” to rotate around as it becomes increasingly influenced by strong blocking high pressure to the north. As such, an area of moisture now over the northern Mid-Atlantic will loop back around and impact the entire region by later tonight and through the day on Friday.

As the atmosphere turns colder, the precipitation will mix with snow and/or ice pellets by later tonight in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor and then likely to all snow for awhile on Friday in much of the area. In fact, small accumulations are possible on Friday across many of the northern and western suburbs along the I-95 corridor. Significant snowfall of at least 6-12 inches is coming to much of the Appalachian Mountain chain including in the region from West Virginia to the Laurel Highlands of southwestern PA, and from the Poconos in northeastern PA to the Catskills and Adirondacks of upstate NY.

Looking ahead, there are signs for multiple cold air outbreaks to make their way from northern Canada into the central and eastern US as we push through the remainder of November and into the early part of December...quite a wintry look to the unfolding weather pattern that will include additional threats of snow for the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US.
