As we approach meteorological winter, a shift in the weather pattern is taking shape across the country. Here’s what you can expect over the coming weeks:
- Rain This Week:
A dip in the jet stream by Thursday will bring much-needed rain to New England, driven by an upper-level low spinning through the region. Lingering showers may extend into the weekend as the system moves out. More details on this with Matt in Insights.
- Thanksgiving Weather:
A developing storm in the Central U.S. will impact Thanksgiving travel, with a mix of rain and snow across the Plains and Midwest. By the time it reaches New England, the system will likely bring rain for most, with potential snow in Northern New England late Thanksgiving and into Friday, depending on storm track.
- Colder Air Ahead:
As the month ends, colder air from Canada will settle all the way into parts of the southern Plains, eventually extending eastward to New England in a modified form. This shift to below-normal temperatures for much the northern half of the country by the start of December means more snowy scenarios across the country, though here at home, that would favor the mountains.
- Stormy Pattern for December:
The jet stream is expected to shift east, focusing storminess over the East Coast, bringing more active weather to New England. With colder air settling in, that would result in northern New England snow, while Southern New England faces mixed precipitation and rain depending on exact storm track.
