It’s too soon to give my annual Winter Climate Outlook, but I’d like to share some observations about current weather trends.

We’ve been in a mild pattern, but a highly advertised jet stream amplification for late Saturday into Sunday will give us the first taste of cold windy weather for next week.   We might have some light snow showers on Sunday.

For Wednesday before Thanksgiving, and Thanksgiving Day, the models have been showing another cold front moving through with showers early in the day Thursday. The intensity of the low pressure system with this cold front has been hard  to model and it’s looking less strong with recent model runs.

The first week of December is looking very active across the country and cold in our area, as a more amplified jet pattern seems to be developing.
