…Thanksgiving Day storm to push into the Northeast today spreading
rainfall and New England snowfall in its vicinity…
…Increasingly below average temperatures spill out into the Great Plains
and Mississippi Valley through the end of the week…
…Lake Effect snows continue and will expand and intensify with time…
A dynamic mid-latitude cyclone tracks near the New England coast today.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms spread into the East Coast today. A
swath of moderate to heavy snowfall is likely to develop across portions
of the interior Northeast — winter storm watches and warnings are in
effect for portions of central New England related to the heavy snow
threat.
Elsewhere, Lake Effect snow showers across the Upper Great Lakes may yield
anywhere from 4-8 inches over the northern coastline of the Upper
Peninsula of Michigan as well as northern parts of the Lower Peninsula
today. A disturbance aloft will allow for the development of a new cold
front late today which moves east and south ahead of a strong and cold
surface high. In the wake of this front, as temperatures cool further,
lake effect snows should expand and intensify as they interact with record
warm Great Lakes temperatures for late November. Several additional inches
of snow are forecast on Friday bringing 2 day snowfall totals over a foot
with isolated higher amounts possible across downwind areas of the Great
Lakes by Saturday morning. Florida will remain mild to warm.
