Warmth Comes with a Price

Long term indications continue to point at a pattern change ready to take place that would take us through at least the week of Thanksgiving, if not longer.  Looking out over the next couple of weeks it appears that the jetstream will begin to deepen and dig further south allowing much cooler air to settle in over much of the Central U.S.   Remember that our jestream is the driving force for our weather.  So if it moves southward, any future storm tracks will likely take the southern track as well.  While you might be thinking that this isn't such of a bad thing, just remember that any type of gulf moisture that would mix with the cold air would likely lead to snow across the Midwest and Great Lakes.

While I'm not too convinced that by the end of November temperatures will be bitterly cold, after all our average high will have dropped to the upper 30s, highs could possibly fall to that range if not slightly below.
