U.S. Weather Forecast Predicts Colder Regime Late November Despite Early Warmth
Early November in the U.S. has seen record warm temperatures east of the Continental Divide, consistent with an El Niño climate, resulting in below-normal early season heating demand. However, a shift towards a colder regime is anticipated by late November. Marginal chill is expected to begin the week in the Midwest, with morning temperatures near or slightly below freezing. Despite this, the U.S. will remain warm nationally through midweek. By Wednesday night, low pressure will organize in Ohio, bringing a cool air mass to the Upper Midwest. This cooler air will push into the Southeast by Thursday, while the Great Lakes region experiences borderline cold conditions. By Friday, chilly weather is forecast from the Great Lakes to the Gulf Coast, with the coolest anomalies in the South and chilly rain in New England. An atmospheric river is also expected to bring precipitation to the West Coast of Canada and the Coastal Northwest States this week, while the rest of the West remains dry and warmer than normal.
