Looking ahead the start of December, it will be a cooler pattern as continued Northwest flow aloft will continue. In patterns like this, you can often get weak disturbances, or clipper systems that move from NW to SE along the jet bringing pockets of snow showers.
We will see at least a couple of them within our general region next week. The windows for any snow are very unpredictable this far out in patterns like this, but brief windows of snow may be possible Saturday into Sunday, then again at times through the early part of next week. Snow accumulations should remain minor, but temperatures will be below freezing to allow some slick spots on roadways when it does snow.
This Northwesterly flow will also trap cold air to the Northeast and warmer air Southwest. We will be stuck on the cooler side of this strong jet stream, leaving us with below average temperatures for much of the next week.
The average high temperature for the next week or so is near 40°, but we will be running decidedly below that through the week. Highs will be in the 20s Friday through next Tuesday, more than 10° below average. Overnight lows will also drop into the teens for the first time since late February! This cold pattern will last at least through the middle of next week, but there is a brief shot of milder air in the Wed-Thurs time window with highs back in the 30s.
