As November arrives, the weather becomes increasingly uncertain. This week promises a mix of conditions, from rain to potential snow, making it vital to plan your activities wisely. Here's what you can expect as we navigate the forecast for the upcoming week.
Tonight: A Rainy Welcome
Prepare for a wet evening tonight, with showers likely to kick off after midnight. Expect temperatures to fall to about 35°F, complemented by an east wind rolling in at 3 to 8 mph. The forecast indicates a 90% chance of rain, with expected precipitation amounts between 0.25 and 0.5 inches. If you plan to head out, it’s best to bring along umbrellas and waterproof jackets.
This cozy rainy atmosphere is perfect for enjoying a warm drink or curling up with a good book. Studies show that many people find the sound of rain soothing, so use this opportunity to unwind.
Tuesday: Showers and Winds
Looking ahead to Tuesday, morning showers are expected before 11 AM, with a slight chance of lingering rain into the evening. The high will reach around 51°F, a welcome change from the icy temperatures before. Winds are expected to shift from the south at 8 to 14 mph, potentially gusting up to 25 mph in the afternoon. With a continued 90% chance of rain, prepare for an estimated 0.1 to 0.25 inches of new precipitation.
If you’re considering outdoor activities, it might be wiser to plan them for later in the day when the rain eases a bit, but keep in mind that strong winds could still impact your plans.
Tuesday Night: A Wintry Mix?
Tuesday night could bring a mixed bag of weather. Rain and snow showers are likely before 1 AM, potentially turning into only snow showers later. Expect temperatures to dip to around 29°F, with a west wind at about 11 mph. The chances of precipitation hover at 40%, though little to no accumulation is expected.
For anyone with early commitments on Wednesday, it's wise to check road conditions. Even a light dusting of snow can create slippery patches.
Midweek: A Combo of Conditions
On Wednesday, expect some snow showers before 10 AM, transitioning to rain by the afternoon. The daytime high will be around 43°F, and a gentle west wind will be present at 6 to 10 mph. The chance of precipitation is around 30%, with no substantial snow accumulation anticipated.
If you want to get outside midweek, early afternoon might be the best bet. The drier conditions should allow for more enjoyable outdoor time.
Wednesday Night: Rain Returns
Rain is likely to return late Wednesday night after 1 AM. With cloudy skies, temperatures are expected to rest around 31°F. The chance of rain increases to 70%, which may make outdoor travel less appealing. Embrace the chance to enjoy indoor activities with friends or family.
Staying comfortable indoors will be key, so don’t forget to bundle up.
Thanksgiving Day: A Rainy Celebration
Thanksgiving Day is shaping up to be rainy, with temperatures peaking around 41°F. There’s an 80% chance of precipitation, suggesting you should have a backup plan for outdoor celebrations. Whether it's a large family gathering or a quiet get-together, anticipate the rain impacting your outdoor plans.
If you want to include outdoor activities, consider options that allow for shelter or plan for indoor games and gatherings.
Beyond Thanksgiving: Painting the Weekend White?
Looking a little further ahead, Thursday night might start with rain, transitioning to a chance of snow later on. With cloud cover, expect temperatures around 28°F and a 60% chance of precipitation. As we roll into Friday, forecasts suggest snow showers might begin after 1 PM, with highs dropping to around 39°F.
Over the weekend, expect similar conditions, with snow showers likely throughout Saturday and Sunday. Highs will linger in the low to mid-30s, accompanied by a sustained 60% chance of precipitation.
Winter sports enthusiasts may find this weather inviting for outdoor activities. In contrast, those preferring indoor events should plan accordingly to stay warm and cozy.
