WEEKEND WEATHER OUTLOOK

Following a very long period of warmer temperatures for November, this weekend will be a transitional time to a broad drop in the jet stream over the eastern half of the US for next week.

Saturday will feature a slight drop in the position of the jet and we’ll have cooler temperatures than we’ve had in the past week. Fair skies will prevail.

On Sunday, the upper air flow relaxes and a return of moisture and milder temperatures is expected with a warm front. Showers expected early Sunday.

A cold front later Sunday afternoon will bring additional showers and precede a more pronounced drop jet, with much colder air for Monday.

The timing of these fronts may change by the weekend. Stay tuned.

What’s interesting is an ongoing condition that I’m going to refer to as a relative “lack of very cold air” to our north. Of course, it’s still early November, but things just look a little bit warmer than usual to our north—

While we’ll get some chillier conditions next week, I don’t see a pronounced or extended period of cold weather for us right now.

WEEKEND WEATHER FORECAST

Following such an eventful week politically, I’m going to keep this forecast short and sweet.

High pressure continues to dominate our weather and will give us fair skies and a southwesterly flow will bring increasingly mild conditions.

The same strong high pressure system will block the northeastern motion of tropical storm Eta as well as its moisture.

Saturday will be sunny and mild. High temperature 71º with light winds.

Sunday will be sunny and mild. High temperature 72º with light winds.

Enjoy!
