Gloomy Saturday, Slow Thanksgiving Week Warm up.

Today's bright sunshine was welcomed relief from our cloudy stretch, but it won't last.  A weak Gulf disturbance will spread clouds back over us with a nuisance cold rain for some of Saturday.  Most of the rain should be from the city down to the coast with the heaviest remaining offshore.

One month from now (when we should be even colder) this would be the perfect set up for snow here.  Arctic cold air pours in and a Gulf low forms throwing moisture back up over the surface cold air.  Alas, we're chilly, but still way too warm to have any snow tomorrow.

There is a huge upper storm over the Gulf of Alaska that has buckled the jet stream.  Arctic cold (coldest so far) is building over eastern Canada and will invade the Great Lakes & Northeast next week.  They already have the Lake effect snow machine working with some spots getting 3-4 Feet plus! We'll need to monitor the upper steering to make sure that Arctic air doesn't push our way.  In fact, it looks like we'll see a slow warm up into Thanksgiving.

Radar already has lots of showers along the coast.  Most of than is not reaching the ground yet as dew points are low.  that will change with time.  I suggest you sleep in tomorrow as it will be cold & raw.  Sunday looks better.  Stay tuned!
