<p>We've got a party getting started in the midweek with a strong low building in and heading east. It'll bring some heavy rain and maybe even snow to the Northeast, more on that <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.weathernationtv.com/news/east-coast-snow-what-we-know-about-the-late-week-system">here</a><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">. Across the Great Lakes however, we could be talking a different kind of setup.</a></p><p>It goes without saying, we'll see a pretty big cooldown once this system kicks on out of here.</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/2026-11-10 04-57-21-1794312411069.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p>If you get far enough north, we could be dealing with some of that lake effect stuff into the midweek.

They're warm enough but the setup itself isn't going to lend itself much to a widespread lake effect event. It'll likely stay more isolated.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/Screenshot 2026-11-10 045743-1794312721662.png"></p><p>Stay tuned to the forecast here on WeatherNation.

<p>Hurricane season isn’t over yet. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is monitoring twp areas of interest across the Atlantic and Pacific, and the newest tropical storm in the Central Pacific.</p><h2><strong>Pacific: Pena Continues East in the Pacific</strong></h2><p>Tropical Storm Pena formed on Friday Southeast of Hawaii. This is the fifth named storm in the Central Pacific Basin this season, which beats the previous record for named systems in a season (3). This storm will stay south of Hawaii, with limited impacts to the island chain. Increased winds and waves are expected through the weekend, but that should be it for impacts.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/Screenshot 2026-11-10 045143-1794311523570.png"></p><h2><strong>Atlantic: Staying Quiet</strong></h2><p>Not much is happening in the Atlantic Basin. What was Invest 94-L is no longer being monitored for tropical development. The Atlantic hurricane season ends at the end of the month.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/Screenshot 2026-11-09 114435-1794249926655.png"></p><p>Although tropical activity typically decreases as fall progresses, the Atlantic hurricane season officially continues through November 30. The Eastern Pacific hurricane season also runs through November 30. For now, neither disturbance has developed into a tropical cyclone, but the Pacific system has the greater potential for organization this week.</p><p>WeatherNation will continue monitoring both areas of interest and provide updates as new information becomes available from the National Hurricane Center.</p>

<p>The calendar has turned to November, which means the start of the wet season for cities like Seattle and Portland. An atmospheric river setup is likely for the West Coast for the next several days. So, for a refresher, what is an atmospheric river? An atmospheric river is a large plume of moisture transported from the deep tropical Pacific northward to the West Coast.</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/BARON 5-1793935449125.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><h2>WAVES MOVE THROUGH</h2><p>Expect widespread rain through Washington on Tuesday, clipping Oregon and Idaho.

Atmospheric Rivers Slam the West

<p>Ready for the first snow of the season? While a few flakes have come down in the usual spots this fall (northern Great Lakes &amp; New England), a solid burst of measurable snow is possible toward the end of the week and into next weekend. </p><h1><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/Screenshot 2026-11-07 103411-1794073162585.png">What We Know</h1><p>A big trough will dig down the Eastern U.S., but the exact placement of the trough and its cold air still need to be worked out. Forecast model ensembles all show a cold low-pressure system, but vary with timing and strength still.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/Screenshot 2026-11-07 103431-1794073182235.png">A larger trough will help several shortwaves swing through the Eastern half of the country, providing extra lift for heavy rain and snow. The timing and placement of these shortwaves could have a big impact on snow and heavy rain, as they provide an extra burst of energy that could pull Atlantic moisture into the cold air.</p><h1><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/Screenshot 2026-11-07 103422-1794073182237.png">What We Don't Know</h1><h2>Snow Totals</h2><p>Models are starting to move toward a solution this morning. The trend has been to carry a somewhat quicker system, which limits the amount of snow in the lowest elevations. However, a decent high-terrain snow looks more and more likely. </p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/Screenshot 2026-11-10 043445-1794310545508.png">With 3 solutions on the table, the middle outcome appears to be favored. With the system starting to come together as of Tuesday morning, confidence has jumped, likely because the system is on land. A system over land is able to be sampled by weather balloons, instead of theoretical systems living rent-free in our minds. </p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/Screenshot 2026-11-09 113524-1794249338997.png"></p><ul><li><p>A faster movement of the trough as it sets up could carry it eastward faster. This would severely limit any rain/snow totals. (green arrow)</p></li><li><p>A trough that sinks almost due south, allowing it to dig deeper and pull in more cold air before the moisture leaves. This is the ceiling outcome that could bring decent snow, even in the lowest elevations (red arrow)</p></li><li><p>Some cross between those two, which would likely limit snowfall to the highest elevations of the Appalachians (yellow)</p></li></ul><h2>Rain Totals</h2><p>As the trough brings Atlantic moisture into the Northeast, the potential increases for heavy rain and snow. The ECMWF is showing rainfall totals between 1-4 inches for parts of the Northeast, with the heaviest rain from Thursday into Friday. These totals could change significantly with the timing and placement of the lows.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/Screenshot 2026-11-10 043429-1794310538758.png"><strong>Bottom line:</strong> Thursday will likely be mostly, if not all rain except for the highest elevations. Thursday night into Friday rain could change to snow depending on your temperatures (elevation). Most places will try to change back over to rain during the day Friday before back to snow. Overall, this looks to be a limited impact on everyday life right now. </p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/2026-11-10 04-35-11-1794310598119.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>

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!

<p>The same system that has produced unsettled weather across much of the country is still impacting the East Coast, bringing a surge of moisture into New England. The front will be exiting the Northeast Saturday morning. However, it brought rainfall totals over 6 inches in Massachusetts. The heaviest rain will be moving out, but an area of low pressure will still bring chilly rain to the Northeast into Sunday morning.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/Screenshot 2026-11-07 113420-1794076472352.png"></p><p>The heaviest rainfall, according to our in-house forecast models, remains over portions of CT, RI, and MA.

<p style="margin: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; color: #454545;">Rob grew up in South Florida, where daily afternoon storms and hurricanes piqued his interest in meteorology early on. That interest was fostered by his teachers and his father, who one time brought him onto the roof of their home to watch a funnel cloud move through the Everglades several miles away. Years of filmmaking and tv production in high school gradually pushed him toward broadcast meteorology at Florida State University, where he joined and eventually led the student run daily weather show. After graduating with a Bachelors of Science in Meteorology, he began his career at KESQ in Palm Springs, California before heading to KFSN in Fresno and WLOS in Asheville, North Carolina. He has covered a diverse array of extreme weather events, including haboobs and flash flooding in the desert, extreme snow in the Sierra, hurricanes, and Appalachian ice storms. He also enjoys telling stories and reporting about weather issues.
