Deep Winter Conditions to Arrive Early Compared to Historic Averages
11/24/24 11:54EST
Good morning everyone. Several weeks ago during a long range outlook, we discussed the possibility of very cold air arriving near or during the weekend of November 30th across parts of the Midwest, Central States, Northeast, and New England. Now that the pieces are coming together, we also see a continuation of reinforcing shots of cold air and possibly very cold air to start off your December.
In some cases, we could see low temperatures plunging to near or below zero for states such as North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, and possibly Iowa to start next month. Meanwhile, it looks as if we turn on the Lake Effect snow machine across parts of New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio with the exit of our late week system. Ahead of that system, we could also see some high elevation snows and/or freezing rain Thursday and Friday.
This is all part of a much colder pattern brewing that’ll give large areas of real estate temperatures typically reserved for late December through late January. Even across areas of coastal North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, where deep-winter temperatures typically range in the 50-55 degree realm, could see high temperatures barely reaching the 40’s come the first week of December.
