<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 throughout the rest of Saturday.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/Screenshot 2026-11-07 033754-1794047918782.png"></p><h1>Flood Watches</h1><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/Screenshot 2026-11-07 034154-1794048170331.png">Flood watches have been issued for the risk of flooding.

<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>Atlantic: Possible Subtropical Development Northeast of the Bahamas</strong></h2><p>An area of low pressure is moving east across the Atlantic, south of Bermuda. According to the NHC, the system could acquire subtropical characteristics as it drifts over the central Atlantic. However, the window for development is limited. By the end of the weekend, the system is expected to move into an environment less favorable for organization.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/Screenshot 2026-11-07 040716-1794050037786.png"></p><p>While the low isn't expected to become a hurricane, it will combine with a mid-latitude cyclone as it moves towards Northern Africa. </p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/Screenshot 2026-11-07 041439-1794050144866.png"></p><h2><strong>Pacific: Pena Forms Friday in the Central 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 on record (3). This storm will stay south of Hawaii, with limited impacts to the island chain. Increased winds and waves are expected through the weekend.</p><h2><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/pic6-1794002534914.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/1-1794020300612.png"><strong>Hurricane Season Isn’t Over Yet</strong></h2><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 now turned to month of November and that means the beginning 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 being transported from deep tropical Pacific moisture 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><p>Over the next few days, several lows forming near Alaska are sliding south and slamming into SW Canada and NW Washington State. Through Monday, the Olympia Peninsula and Northern Washington is expecting to see rainfall totals between 3-6 inches. The Portland Metro will see up to an inch with most of the moisture missing them to the north. The Cascades will see some heavier snow this weekend too!</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/BARON 5-1794020517468.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/1-1794020528327.png"></p><p></p><h1>LONG TERM WEST</h1><p>Long range models are hinting at some of these Pacific waves finally diving south into California and for the Four Corners by the end of next week.

<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.

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!

Skiing Opens in the Rockies, Heavy Snow on the Way

Screenshot20261102051657png-1793621824190.png

Heavy showers and storms will be possible this morning from Central to Northern Florida.  Cities like Orlando and Jacksonville could see over 2 inches of rain when all is said and done.  Here is the very latest.
<h1>Severe Outlook</h1>
<img class="alignnone wp-image-105844 size-full" src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2019/04/bad.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />

The one bright spot with this forecast is the lack of severe weather chances.  Only general storms (non severe) are in the forecast today with the biggest risk being the heavy rain.
<h1>Forecast</h1>
<img class="alignnone wp-image-105845 size-full" src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2019/04/7day.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />

<img class="alignnone wp-image-105846 size-full" src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2019/04/7day1.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />

<img class="alignnone wp-image-105847 size-full" src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2019/04/7day2.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />

Heavy rain will likely last through the morning with the showers becoming more isolated by the early afternoon.  There will be more showers and storms in the forecast Tuesday, but it looks like those storms will be more for Central and Southern Florida.
<h1>Rainfall Potential</h1>
<img class="alignnone wp-image-105849 size-full" src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2019/04/AMS_SEAL.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />

The latest rainfall forecast is showing a solid 1-2 inches in this area.  Most of this rainfall will happen this morning over a few hours.  This means low visibility and water build up on the roadways (ponding).  This heavy rain will be a big factor for the morning commute.

Keep checking with WeatherNation for more updates.
