Quiet, pleasant weather marches on...
>> Wednesday, November 10, 2010
Our extremely quiet weather week rolls on today with lots of sunshine and pleasant afternoon temperatures. Highs will be a touch cooler today than yesterday, with most Piedmont spots hitting the upper 60s to lower 70s.
Sunshine will remain a fixture in our forecast right on into the upcoming weekend. Highs tomorrow through Sunday will largely be in the 60s, with morning lows dipping into the 30s again Friday and Saturday morning.
Next week...
Our next system will emerge from the Gulf of Mexico and spread some rain into the region next work week. As of now, the timing has slowed a bit, with the best chances for rain likely occurring Tuesday into Wednesday.
Cold blast later this month??
A huge ridge will go up along the Pacific coast next week while another ridge also develops near or just west of Greenland. This will allow some pure arctic air to begin to pour into North America. As far as the US is concerned, we will likely see that cold air begin to make a southward plunge later next week.
For our region, I still think a big blast of cold will settle in later this month, and I will continue to say anytime from around the 20th into Thanksgiving week is fair game.

Accuweather had wintry mix for foothills and mtns. on 23rd yesterday. Is that showing up in the modeling anywhere?
Thanks
How about everyone quits hounding Matt about what the weather might do 2 weeks from now? If you ask everyday its not going to make any difference. Chill out and see what happens.
06z GFS has a very close call for snow on Thanksgiving! The GFS seems like it is going back to its original idea with the arctic air plunging in here. Maybe this will verify.

Hey anon, weather changes daily. maybe you're new, but that's kinda what we do around here. He is the expert and he can give information that we don't know. We're not "hounding" him, we're simply asking for his insights. Not bein' rude. just sayin.
Yes, us snow geese take our snow chances very seriously round these here parts! Don't interrupt our access to our snow meteorologist. It's like telling people in Green Bay not to call sports radio to talk about the Packers. It just ain't happenin!:)
But I think we're jumpin the gun here; nothing to see for another month or so. I'm not even looking until late December. This weather is nice anyway, I hope it hangs around.

Hahaha.....no problem....happy to pass along what insight I can.
As is often the case, the models are all over the place in handling the potential plunge of arctic air later this month. Some models keep us mild all the way through the end of the month. However, with the depth of cold air that will invade the northern US next week, at some point it is almost inevitable that it will make it in here. Timing is uncertain though.
Until I can nail down that timing, I can't even try to forecast any wintry weather potential.
