Some clouds today....sun back tomorrow...

A storm system is pulling into the region today. However, it is rapidly weakening, and the precip associated with the system continues to dwindle with time. A few showers are possible up in the mountains today, and a few sprinkles might make it into the northern foothills, but that will be about it. Most folks will only see some clouds today. Highs will be close to average for the time of year...upper 50s to near 60.

Another chilly night is ahead with lows back down into the 30s tonight, then full sunshine returns tomorrow through the weekend. Highs tomorrow will likely be in the upper 50s with highs back into the 60s through the weekend.

Thanksgiving week...

Mild weather will be with us Monday and Tuesday to start the Thanksgiving week with highs in the 60s to even lower 70s at times, especially Tuesday. However, big changes are on tap later in the week.

A cold front will drop in here around Wednesday and begin to bring the chance of some showers. This will be a rather slow frontal passage, so it looks like the chance of at least some rain will extend into Thanksgiving itself.

Behind that front, arctic air will engulf the eastern US. This is the blast of cold air that I have been discussing in this space for quite a while now. It looks like Black Friday and the rest of the following weekend will be quite chilly. How cold? Still working on that, but at least several days of below average high and low temps....and the cold will likely be with us right on into early December.

Snow fans keep wondering about the possibility of winter weather. Nothing overly exciting as of yet. However, as we make the switch to the colder pattern, there are signs of the storm track being at least somewhat active. We will see....
