November 26 Weather: Rain This Afternoon Then Colder Winds And Flurries Possible
November 26, 2023
Sunday Morning Update
Today is the day that last week looked like a moderate to strong coastal storm would affect the return travel to end Thanksgiving Weekend. This is yet another example of the inconsistencies of the computer guidance. Then, the storm was a miss, and now is back in a modest form.
There is a coastal Low developing that will bring rain this afternoon and evening near and east of I-95 through the big cities and Delmarva.
In the central US, a colder storm has dropped moderate snow, and that will reach Chicago today. This may have a ripple effect on flights across the country.
Colder air will follow, and we could have some flurries reaching our metro areas on Tuesday.
Morning Temperatures
Still in a colder than average pattern.
Morning Surface Weather
Low Pressure developing off the North Carolina coast will move north and bring us rain this afternoon and evening.
The other Low Pressure near St. Louis is the colder snowmaker. Some areas have had 4 to 8 inches of snow. Chicago is expecting a few inches today, but more importantly, it will be sticking on the roads. Also, planes will need to undergo de-icing to add to flight delays.
Note: There is an Arctic Air Mass that will follow these systems and reach us on Tuesday!

The upper air disturbance helping to bring in this air mass, may carry enough energy to bring snow showers and flurries east of the mountains on Tuesday afternoon.

It’s still looking like an early winter setup!
Colder air during the week will accompany a disturbance that may bring snow flurries even into metro areas on Tuesday.

RESTATING MY MESSAGE ABOUT DYSLEXIA
I am aware there are some spelling and grammar typos and occasional other glitches. I take responsibility for my mistakes and even the computer glitches I may miss. I have made a few public statements over the years, but if you are new here, you may have missed it: I have dyslexia and found out during my second year at Cornell University. It didn’t stop me from getting my meteorology degree and being the first to get the AMS CBM in the Baltimore/Washington region. One of my professors told me that I had made it that far without knowing and to not let it be a crutch going forward. That was Mark Wysocki, and he was absolutely correct! I do miss my mistakes in my own proofreading. The autocorrect spell check on my computer sometimes does an injustice to make it worse. I also can make mistakes in forecasting. No one is perfect at predicting the future. All of the maps and information are accurate. The ‘wordy’ stuff can get sticky. There has been no editor who can check my work when I need it and have it ready to send out in a newsworthy timeline. Barbara Werner is a member of the web team that helps me maintain this site. She has taken it upon herself to edit typos when she is available. That could be AFTER you read this. I accept this and perhaps proves what you read is really from me… It’s part of my charm.
