<p>When it rains it pours, right? Another outbreak of Arctic air will invade the northern tier of the country, just days after the most recent burst. Areas around the high plains were waking up to subzero temperatures Monday morning, with the midweek dose looking just as potent. This is the coldest start to December in Fort Wayne's history!</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot 2025-12-01 093506-1764606918872.png">As the door opens to the Arctic air, highs will plummet by Wednesday and into Thursday. Some areas will wake up below zero, like in the Twin Cities, Thursday morning. When you factor in a light breeze, the wind chill will tumble into the -20 to -30 range!</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot 2025-12-01 200230-1764644565151.png">This will likely be good enough to set new record lows late this week. Anywhere in a yellow dot could be looking at a new mark for the day.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot 2025-12-01 200237-1764644575090.png">When it gets this dangerously cold, even if it only lasts a day or two, bring the pets inside and remember to check on neighbors who might be susceptible to this. If you have to venture out, it's important to cover any exposed skin, as frostbite can set in after as little as 30 minutes.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot 2025-12-01 093932-1764607220609.png"></p>

Alana Cameron was born and raised in Canada in the city of Mississauga, just outside of Toronto. Alana is the oldest of 4 siblings, all close in age, and grew up playing outside with them in all types of weather. After graduating high school, Alana moved to study at the University of British Columbia in Kelowna for a year before transferring to Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia where she completed a Bachelor of Science in Physics and Atmospheric Science. Upon completion, Alana moved back to Toronto where she completed a post-grad degree in Meteorology at York University. After her post-grad, she went on to complete another post-grad in Broadcast Journalism - TV News at Fanshawe College in London, Ontario. During her final year of studies she had the privilege of interning with the best in the business in Canada at The Weather Network. Once she finished her internship, she got the call from small-town Denison, Texas where she accepted a job as an on-air meteorologist at KTEN-TV, right in tornado alley, covering severe weather from Sherman/Denison (North Texas) to Ada (Southern Oklahoma). After the most active tornado season Oklahoma had seen in May 2019 (105 tornadoes!) Alana is excited to join WeatherNation to cover weather all across the nation. If you're interested in following her on social media she can be found @alanacameronwx!

<p>We're hoping many Thanksgiving travelers have made it home, because this next system is bringing rain, ice, and snowfall from the Mid-South to the Northeast. The combination of an upper-level low drawing in cold air and a surface low pulling in warm Gulf moisture will set some of us up for ice, others for rain, and many for heavy snowfall. So gear up for what you can expect in your neighborhood. Kansas and Nebraska already saw 2-4" of snowfall on Monday morning.</p><div class="twitter-tweet" style="display: flex; justify-content: center" data-twitt-post-id="1995549367382753424" src="https://x.com/WeatherNation/status/1995549367382753424"></div><h2>Overall Set-Up</h2><p>Several components come into play when we talk about different types of wintry precipitation, and the temperature profile of the atmosphere is one of the most important. In this forecast, a strong upper-level low will draw in cold air aloft. At the surface, a low will pull in warm Gulf moisture. What happens between these layers determines whether precipitation falls as rain, freezing rain, sleet, a rain/snow mix, or snow.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot 2025-12-01 041042-1764587449453.png">Winter alerts are widespread for the anticipation of snow and ice.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/we1-1764678863985.png"></p><h2>Forecast Timing</h2><p>Forecast models have temperatures dropping below freezing for many, but right along the freezing line is where we may see both freezing rain (where rain freezes upon contact) and a rain/snow mix (partially melted snowflakes that don't freeze on contact). North of the freezing line, many will see snowfall, and south, many will see rain and thunderstorms. Based on current timing, snow will reach the Northeast through Tuesday night before the system exits offshore early Wednesday morning.</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/12-01 rne-1764644470065.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p></p><p>Snowfall totals will vary depending on how cold the temperatures get throughout the event. The heaviest totals are expected to climb over 6 inches in the Northeast. Our forecast models are topping out closer to a foot for northern New England.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/we3b1-1764679020623.png">Ice accumulations generally range from a light glaze up to 0.1". When forecasts show totals approaching 0.25" or more, power outages become possible, and travel can become nearly impossible.</p><p></p>

Gulf Low turns Coastal Low as Millions Brace for Plowable Snow

<p><strong>DENVER, CO - </strong>The "Mile High" city finally recorded its first snowfall of the season two days after Thanksgiving as a strong trough moved through the northern Rockies. To count as "measurable" snow, it needs to accumulate to at least one-tenth of an inch, which the Denver airport doubled with that quick round of snowfall Saturday morning. The first snow date of November 29th makes it Denver's 2nd latest start to the snow season on record, with 2021 being the only year with a later first snow.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot 2025-11-29 082401-1764430054403.png"></p><p>The snowfall also ended a long streak of snowless days, tied for the third-longest since record-keeping began.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot 2025-11-29 082406-1764430062849.png">Looking ahead, more snow is in store for the Denver area and the Palmer Divide, so <strong>winter weather advisories</strong> have been issued for 2-7" of snowfall.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot 2025-12-01 162850-1764632013454.png"></p><h1>Forecast Snow</h1><p>Another push of snowfall is expected later this week. This second push is expected to be a larger one, bringing nearly a foot of snow to areas in the Rocky Mountains.</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/12-01_rsw bams3kl-1764631803155.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot 2025-12-01 163009-1764631884006.png"></p><p>This snowfall is more than welcome for some of the ski resorts in the Rockies. With not that many runs open, 6-9" in places like Steamboat Springs will make a difference. This model even shows upwards towards 6" in Denver, potentially by Friday!</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot 2025-12-01 163116-1764631892823.png"></p><p>Make sure to stay tuned to WeatherNation for the latest on snowfall totals across the front-range!</p>

<p><strong>GULF COAST </strong>- Starting along the Gulf coast, a low-pressure system has emerged to bring soaking rain to our Gulf states through the overnight hours, to the Southeast Coast on Tuesday morning, and through the Atlantic Seaboard on Tuesday.</p><p>This surface low will pull in tropical moisture and produce downpours across the South and Southeast, where temperatures will be warm enough to support rain and even a few thunderstorms. On the northern side of the system, ice and snow will become an issue across portions of the Mid-South, which you can read more about <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.weathernationtv.com/news/gulf-low-bringing-heavy-precipitation-across-the-nation"><strong><em>here.</em></strong></a> As mentioned above, rain has begun and will continue to saturate the south into Tuesday before paralleling the Atlantic Coast on Tuesday.</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/12-01 rse to rne-1764644703384.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p>The Storm Prediction Center has kept a <strong>MARGINAL</strong> risk for severe storms in the panhandle of Florida through Tuesday. The risk of a tornado or two will be there, along with damaging straight-line winds.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot 2025-12-01 200643-1764644814111.png"></p><p>With deep Gulf moisture and embedded thunderstorms, heavy rain may oversaturate soils and lead to isolated flash flooding. However, this is largely beneficial rainfall as these areas have been struggling to get much rain recently. Severe to exceptional drought has developed because of the lack of rainfall.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot 2025-12-01 200526-1764644827888.png"></p>

Gulf Low To Produce Rain & Storms Along Coast

Taban Sharifi grew up in Southern California between Los Angeles and San Diego. She is a Certified Broadcast Meteorologist (CBM) with the American Meteorological Society (AMS). She has a B.S. in Atmospheric, Oceanic, and Environmental Sciences with a minor in Environmental Systems and Society from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Go Bruins! While in school, Taban was a meteorology intern with NBC LA. There she helped forecast daily weather for the greater Los Angeles region and created a playbook to deploy weather sensors for NBC owned-and-operated stations across the country. Her first on-air job took her to San Angelo, Texas, where she was a morning meteorologist and co-anchor. Working in West Texas gave her knowledge and experience covering severe storms. From there, she moved to Palm Springs, California. People think forecasting in California is sunshine all the time, but with temperatures in the 120’s, wildfires, damaging winds, floodings, and earthquakes, the forecasting kept her very busy! She also worked there as a general assignment reporter and told community stories. Taban is excited for the challenge and opportunity to forecast nationally with WeatherNation. She also looks forward to exploring all that Colorado has to offer!
