The main story over the next 3 days is going to be the wild temperature swings we will experience. Spring will visit the forecast area tonight and Monday followed by a hard slap of reality on Tuesday. So let’s dive back into the forecast!

By the way I have gotten my email account pounded this afternoon, I could already tell that the models were brewing up some mischief for this weekend. The question is if the models are on to something or if the solution we are seeing is pure fantasy.

The pattern will be going into a brief state of reloading and relaxation for the last weekend of November, Thanksgiving weekend, and for the first five days of December. As a result, the storm track I’m expecting will run from the Mississippi Valley to over the coastal plain and into interior New England. In other [...]

The model continue to flip, flop, and flounder for the end of the week period coming up. Remember, we have seen solutions ranging from dry conditions with no storm to a monster phase of a storm along the East coast. We have had solutions of the remnants of Paloma entrained into the low and others [...]
