First Teens of the Season

'Tis the season for wild weather swings. We're going from tornadoes Sunday night to temps in the teens Friday night. That's a pretty active week if you ask me.

Look at the NAM for Saturday morning. A large section of the eastern US dipping below freezing:

This is a big deal considering we've only spent a few hours below freezing so far this season. This morning's 27° was the coldest I've recorded at home, but that low should be beat easily the next two nights. Right now the NWS lows are forecasted for 23° and 18° respectively.

Unfortunately for snow lovers, this cold blast is as dry as they come. Low temps like this so early in the season usually doesn't come with precip, so our best chance in November would be some sort of hybrid southern low or a clipper, neither of which is on the horizon.

We're still going to have to keep an eye out for a potential storm on Thanksgiving week that could mess up some travel plans. I'll keep you updated.
