<p>The first in a line of several storms systems moved inland across the West on Friday with intense rain and wind impacts, including flash flooding issues around northern California. Hail even fell along the NW coast of the golden state, over the size of golf balls! </p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/Screenshot 2026-11-14 053024-1794659469278.png">That first dynamic system will move through the Rockies Saturday before the next front moves onshore late Saturday into Sunday. That next wave will push into the Rockies to start the week, with another low moving in toward the mid-week timeframe. </p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/fsaaaaaassssss-1794363172414.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p></p><h2><strong>SHORT RANGE FORECAST</strong></h2><p><strong>The first system will continue to bring snow and rain tot parts of the Four Corners and Wyoming on Saturday with snow and rain tapering off Sunday morning as the low dives into Texas. The next front moves into the Pacific Northwest Saturday night, slowly sliding down the west coast and across the interior through Tuesday. This next system will bring much colder air into the region, with temperatures in some areas dropping more than 10 degrees. This means more rain will turn to snow for lower elevations. </strong></p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/2026-11-14 06-00-47-1794661286379.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p>Snow will pileup to over 6 inches in areas of Utah and Colorado on Saturday, before the Cascades, Sierra, Bitterroots, and Great Basin Mountains see heavy snow Sunday through Tuesday. </p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/Screenshot 2026-11-14 060025-1794661618050.png"></p><h2>Winter Alerts</h2><p>Winter storm warnings have been issued for the Sierra.

<p>There are only a few weeks left in the Hurricane Season and it looks like it will be quiet end to the season. There is no tropical activity in either the Atlantic or the Eastern Pacific basins. </p><h1><strong>ATLANTIC BASIN</strong></h1><p>Not much is happening in the Atlantic Basin and that will continue for at least the next 7 days.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/PIC 4-1794617871577.png"></p><h1>Eastern Pacific Basin</h1><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/PIC 5-1794618538087.png">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>Heavy snow is piling up across portions of the Northeast, especially in New York State where over a foot of snow has accumulated! Snow will continue through Friday morning before tapering off. Lake effect snow will continue around the Great Lakes while the southern Appalachians see a northwest flow snow event into Saturday morning.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/Screenshot 2026-11-13 063936-1794577352746.png"></p><h2>Forecast Timing</h2><p>Snow will taper off through Friday morning in the Poconos, possibly lingering into the early afternoon. As cold NW flow kicks in, lake effect snow and upslope snow (Appalachians) will kick in, lasting into the weekend for some.</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/FORECAST2-1794602135827.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><h2>Snow Totals</h2><p>Additional snow totals could top 3-4 inches in a few areas thanks to lake effect that continues through Saturday, but overall an inch or two will fall still.  Light totals are possible down through the Appalachian Mountains, with areas like Sams Gap on I-26 (NC/TN) likely seeing a few slick spots.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/PIC 4-1794602195163.png"></p><h2>Rain Totals</h2><p>The low elevations are expecting rainfall.

<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>. Across the Great Lakes, however, we could be talking a different kind of setup.</p><p>It goes without saying, we'll see a pretty big cooldown once this system kicks on out of here.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/PIC 4-1794515795154.png"></p><p>If you get far enough north, we could be dealing with some of that lake effect stuff into the midweek. Moisture is expected to linger long enough to get some decent totals across the Upper Peninsula of Michigan!</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/FORECAST2-1794515865419.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p>There are a few <strong>Winter Weather Advisories</strong> for the UP of Michigan.

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>An interesting setup is rolling through the Midwest and Ohio Valleys this week. It's the spark that lights the fuse to the powerful system bringing some snow chances out east.</p><p>RELATED: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.weathernationtv.com/news/east-coast-snow-what-we-know-about-the-late-week-system"><strong>Latest on the snow chances this week</strong></a></p><p>As it's getting setup, however, severe storms will be possible over the heartland on Wednesday.</p><h1>SETUP</h1><p>A fast-moving disturbance will ripple through the middle of the week. That will be enough to trigger storms by the afternoon on Wednesday. Because it is such a potent disturbance, the storms feel like a relatively safe bet. There are more questions about where storms will fire, with some models liking areas north of the marginal outlook issued by the Storm Prediction Center.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/Screenshot 2026-11-11 051307-1794399204727.png"></p><h1>IMPACTS</h1><p>Damaging winds are the biggest concern; There is plenty of wind shear to organize storms, and that wind energy could help spin up a tornado or two.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/Screenshot 2026-11-11 051345-1794399243165.png"></p><h1>TIMING</h1><p>With a fairly fast-moving system, these storms will be in and out of here pretty quickly.

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.
