winterwx21

GFS has a cutter on the 12th and then warms it up after that going into mid December. Probably wrong but you never know. Long range is very difficult to predict. So often we look 2 weeks down the road and see a potential pattern, but it ends up being much different when it gets closer. That's why I don't get too excited when good patterns are advertised. Good pattens don't always produce too. Our area averages less than 30 inches of snow per winter for a reason. I'll get excited when we have a legitimate winter storm threat at the day 5 range. At least it looks likely that we have cold air coming in one week from today, and there should be a good amount of cold air available in December. That will at least give us a decent chance of scoring sometime this month, but it's far from a guarantee.

Had a few gusts 45 to 50mph as that little squall line came through. Nice event with the rain and wind.

Back edge of the steady rain already passed. This was a quick mover. Only a third of an inch here. Might add a little more with some scattered showers.

Yeah so many times we've seen great looking patterns in the long range, only to see them fall apart as it got closer. Looks great right now, but we have to be a little skeptical at this range. Hopefully this look will hold.

I'm with you. I love the warm weather in November, but once we get into December I go into winter mode and will be rooting for snow.

It's 58 degrees here. Loving all these warm late November days! Great being able to run outside without having to be bundled up this late in the season.

57 here. Another spectacular late November day.

Sunday's rain event continues to look less and less impressive. Probably a quarter to half inch. Nice mild weather early to mid next week ... likely mid to upper 50s. Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone here has a great one.

I agree. This weather is perfect for late November. I'm going outside for a run right now, and it's just warm enough that I can do it without a sweatshirt on. Love it.

57 degrees here. Beautiful day.

The models are showing lower rain amounts now too. 12z GFS less than a quarter inch, and Euro a quarter to half inch for most.

They're speeding it up too. GFS and GGEM now show most of the rain saturday night rather than during the day sunday. Could be a decent 1 inch rainfall.

Yeah the snow showers missed us just slightly to the south. Just some flurries here.

Like last night's Euro, 12z GFS and GGEM are showing rain for next friday. GFS so warm that the rain goes well up into Canada. A long way to go and this certainly has some potential, but right now rain is looking more likely.

Low temp of 27 here. The plants in the vegetable garden finally got finished off. I enjoyed the extended growing season, but it was time. The ragweed pollen was still hanging in there at a low level, so I'm glad we finally got the freeze to end it.

It's 71 degrees here right now. Another spectacular day. This has been the most beautiful first 12 days of November that I can ever remember. So many beautiful days with temps in the 70s. As you said, it's going to be a shock to the system with the much colder temps next week.

Yep, but there's also some heavier downpours mixed in there too. Maybe we can get an inch of rain out of this.

NAM and Euro aren't showing as much as GFS, but still a decent amount of rain. Like I said a half inch to inch looks like a good forecast right now. Also right now the models are showing most of our rain coming from the first batch friday afternoon. They're not really showing a line of strong storms with the front friday night overnight anymore. Overall looking like a boring event, but at least a moderate amount of rain.

Yeah it's not looking very impressive. We still could get a decent rain out of this ... perhaps a half inch to inch. But nothing to write home about. The big amounts will be way to the west.

The timing of this is friday night overnight though. So if we do get any strong t-storms out of it, it will likely be when we're sleeping. This west trend also means we probably won't get big rains. Right now it doesn't appear that this is much to look forward to.

High temp of 78 here today. Felt great with the very low humidity this afternoon. Saturday was the warmest day here when my location hit 80. An incredible 3 day stretch ... felt great doing stuff outside in this kind of warmth this late in the season. Sad to see it come to an end, but hopefully a cooler pattern settling in for mid to late November will be a sign that we'll get some snow in December.

77 here, and I think it feels great with the lowering humidity. Dewpoint is down to 50 here now, and will be down to about 40 by late afternoon. Beautiful day.

A shower here right now. Feels a little muggy with the dewpoint of 63. The growing season continues. But as Allsnow said, it will be ending next weekend. Finally going to see temps below freezing next sunday night. Probably some upper 20s for lows and some days with high temps in the upper 40s.

High temp of 80 here today. Might not hit 80 again tomorrow because it's going to be cloudier, but it's going to be close.

The other day I mentioned that I thought saturday would be just as warm as the other days, and here it is. It's 80 degrees here right now.
