Detailed Discussion

The darker, and cloudier days of November are upon us, and the weather seems pretty much on the mark. The mountain tops are appearing white more and more frequently, and even some of the hills have been dusted with a little snow. It briefly cleared last night, with a remnant of the Full Moon from Wednesday, and temperatures dropping below freezing. As has been the case all week, the weather systems continue to track west to east rapidly, accounting for the clouds already arriving, and the anticipation of some showers before the day is out. The morning maps feature strengthening low pressure over the UP of Michigan, forecast to curl northeast into central Quebec by this time tomorrow. Attached to the storm we find a cold front dropping south from Chicago to Texas, preceded by mild south winds, and developing showers. As the clouds thicken this morning, a stray flurry or sprinkle is possible north, but it appears the showers will hold off until late through the Adirondacks and St. Lawrence Valley, while periods of sun linger through southern areas until late in the day. The rain showers push west to east this evening ahead of the cold front, then diminish to scattered showers, mostly tapering off after midnight. The cold front wastes no time pushing to our east by tomorrow morning, while a second, reinforcing cold front swings in during the day. It means a just few localized, passing showers tomorrow, along with intervals of sunshine. It will be a few degrees milder tomorrow, at least through midday, before the cooler air behind the front starts cooling the temperatures in the afternoon. Once again, nothing lasts very long in this ramped-up pattern, with any clearing behind the front giving way to the next system, ready to make its way through here on Sunday. Low pressure will be developing in the Ohio Valley Saturday night, this time tracking closer to us, running northeast through the eastern Great Lakes Sunday, lifting rain and showers northeast during the day Sunday. A cold front attached to this storm works east Sunday night into Monday, at which point we’ll be watching a storm forming along the front to our east. It means colder air will be arriving, while some showers linger. It could bring a period of snow or snow showers to the higher terrain north, most likely the Adirondacks, with a lesser chance in the Green and White Mountains. Regardless, this second system paves the way for a colder pattern next week, as the cold settles in for the bulk of next week, with a few minor episodes of snow or rain showers, and temperatures only in the 30s and 40s.
