November Pattern Change Brings September Warmth to East and Mountain Snow, Cold to West

 

 

 

The polar jet stream will take a sharp southward nosedive in the West while simultaneously bulging northward into eastern Canada. 

 

 

**Weather Pattern the First Week of November

Blue streamlines trace the forecast jet stream over the U.S. in the first week of November. Beige and yellow indicates warmer temperatures. Bluer colors indicate colder air. Forecast model snow in West indicated by aqua, teal, purple, pink contours.

 

 

While a sharp cold front is delivering a chillier reality check to parts of the Midwest and Great Lakes right now, November's chilly, raw brand name couldn't be further from the truth in the week ahead.
With high pressure eventually setting up shop near the Eastern Seaboard, and generally lower pressure in the western U.S., a belt of warm air will flow northward from the southern Plains into the Upper Midwest, Great Lakes, Ohio Valley, and eventually into the Northeast in November's first week.

Midwest: 60s return to the northern Plains, Upper Midwest, southern Great Lakes this weekend into early in the week ahead. 70s possible from the central Plains to the southern Great Lakes, Ohio Valley, potentially for multiple days.

South: 70s in most areas with the exception of the Gulf Coast, Florida, central and south Texas where 80s will dominate.

Northeast: 60s in most areas except a few 50s in northern New England and some 70s in the mid-Atlantic states.
