First widespread snow for some of us.

 

The surface chart shows, Low pressure over Southeastern New York State into northeastern Pennsylvania, with an occluded front looped over the region. Radar is showing rain showers and higher elevation snow.

This is the first snow storm of the season, generally it looks like my snow map worked out okay, with some areas over achieving. Let me know, how much snow you ended up with, include your town/city.

Today will be chilly with rain and snow showers continuing, with the higher elevations seeing some additional accumulations, especially for the Poconos and Catskills. Winds will still be gusty.

Watches and Warnings

Pivotal Weather

Saturday the low will linger close-by along with a few troughs working through. This will keep the weather a bit unsettled with scattered rain and snow showers. But rain and snow won’t be as widespread as today. We will also keep the breezy conditions. Saturday will quite chilly, with below average temperatures. Northwest winds coming around the low, will setup some lake effect snow for those southeast of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario; the temperatures won’t be all that cold, so accumulations will be light, but there could end up being a few inches of lake snow in some spots.

 For Saturday night high pressure will be approaching this will, this will generally clear us out for Sunday and Monday, but there will still be a breeze and isolated rain along with some snow showers and hit and miss lake enhanced rain/snow.

Tuesday will see a weak cold front move through providing scattered to isolated rain/snow showers. But any accumulations should be light. Wednesday will see high pressure move back in keeping us cool but dry. High pressure remains for Thanksgiving, so the much of the day should stay dry.

We’re going to see another block set up, as another system approaches for later Thanksgiving and for Black Friday. This will likely bring at least part of the region more rain and snow showers, who sees what will depend on the amount of cold and the exact track the system takes. This is going to keep things unsettled for the Thanksgiving weekend.   

As I said yesterday the overall pattern for the next 7 to 14 days is looking to see overall troughing over the Great Lakes and Eastern US. This will keep us with an active pattern with generally chilly to sometimes cold air.
