December to begin Warm...Then...

A massive storm off the west coast will sweep across the country during the next 5 days bringing usually warm weather for late November into early December.  Once this system gets to the east coast, a real dump of arctic air will invade the lower 48.  Dec. 1-10 may see some much needed rain/snow fall over the big drought areas of the central plains followed by the coldest air in several years decending into the Gulf South.  It's too soon to know whether this might bring us a freeze or a snow chance, but some models are hinting that December could really turn wintry for much of the nation including us.  Stay tuned!
