Back From Thanksgiving Break: What To Expect

Happy Thanksgiving Weekend, Snowhounds!

After a little taste of winter last week, it's been quiet around the GSD Home Office with temperatures generally in the 40s for the last week or so. And, unfortunately, there's not much in the 10-day forecast to feast our eyes on. 

We'll see rain in the afternoon on Sunday, and then two dry days before a low pressure system comes up from the Gulf of Mexico to usher in the month of December. Normally, this type of storm would be something to get excited about, but it's going to track too far to the west. When we're on the east side of low pressure systems, too much warm air gets into the area and we get rain. There's no indication whatsoever that this storm will track further to the east and turn the rain to snow.

The European model for the Wednesday/Thursday storm. Not much to write home about.

As the storm departs, a cold front will come through, and that's when we could see a shift from rain to wintery mix or snow. This forecast is iffy, and the people with the best chance to see snow will be those who live in higher elevation towns. So snow is possible late Wednesday and early morning on Thursday but it won't be much.

The big noticeable attribute of the midweek storm will be high winds. We won't be surprised at all to see high wind warnings and alerts. Meteorologists are already talking about the potential for 50 mph gusts.

Enjoy the weekend!
