What Will November’s Weather Be Like?

Where may there be snow for Thanksgiving?

Signs are showing that November will be turning warmer than normal, at least for the first half of so of the month for the Eastern U.S. with the opposite being true for the West. However, the first few days of the month may start out cool as a storm system will cross through the East last next week allowing a brief trough to set up over the East. But it will be brief, as a ridge will quickly return. This will also set up the potential for one or two more late season tropical systems. Watch near the Florida coast into the Gulf of Mexico the next week or two.

The pattern I see setting up for November will likely allow for some early season snow for much of the Rockies, especially in Colorado. This means a Thanksgiving ski-get-away may be very likely for many.

Looking beyond November, things are still looking on track from earlier thoughts for the Winter 2009-10. Still expecting a cooler than normal winter for the Southern & Southeastern U.S. with an increased threat for snow/ice in these region and up through the Mid-Atlantic.
