Wondering how the weather will shape your weekend plans? Meteorologist Steve Pelletier breaks down the critical weather patterns across the United States as we wrap up November 2024. With a high-pressure system dominating the central Mississippi River Valley to the eastern seaboard, expect frigid temperatures and potential lake-effect snow squalls around the Great Lakes, which might dump several feet of snow in some areas. An upper-level disturbance is stirring up snow flurries as it travels through central and southern Illinois toward northern Kentucky, southern Indiana, and Ohio, setting up a wintry scene as it approaches Delmarva by Sunday.

As we embark on meteorological winter, Steve discusses the impacts of shorter days and the chill swooping down from central Canada. Travelers can breathe a sigh of relief as dry conditions are forecasted for the Southeast, including Atlanta and Florida, with similarly fair skies in major northeastern cities like Boston and New York. Meanwhile, the Midwest braces for windy conditions with occasional snow showers, and the West Coast enjoys mostly clear skies with light rain only in Seattle. The Northeast will kick off December with crisp, sunny days and chilly nights. Tune in as Steve ensures you're well-prepared for the week ahead, regardless of what Mother Nature has planned.
