<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.

<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. There's still a lot of time for big changes - so check back in with us throughout the week.</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.</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>The WPC (Weather Prediction Center) is highlighting a chance for winter impacts Friday into Saturday, with higher confidence in the mountains of New England and West Virginia. This shows low confidence in snow occurring, but this will change significantly throughout the week as models hone in on this system.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/wssi_p_Overall_Minor_f168 (1)-1794073714705.png"></p><p>The ECMWF (Euro model) shows some solid snow chances for similar areas highlighted by the WPC (top of page), while the GFS is also showing potential for snowfall. The GFS tends to overestimate snow, as it turns icy conditions into snowfall more than it should, so take this with a grain of salt.</p><h2><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/Screenshot 2026-11-08 070420-1794146673963.png">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 2026-11-07 103508-1794074059757.png"><strong>Bottom line:</strong> there is increasing confidence an impactful cold system will cruise East toward the end of next week, but details remain fuzzy. We'll keep you updated with changes and a fine-tuned forecast as the event draws near. Sometimes models can completely bust in the 5-10 day window, so don't run to get bread and milk just yet.</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 are expected 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!<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/1-1794105459344.png"></p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/pic5-1794092555342.png"></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. The Weather Prediction Center's 6-10 Day Outlook is showing very deep green over the western third of the country. Heavy rain, snow, and strong winds could be a possibility as we move into the middle of November.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/1-1794020568559.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/2-1794020590072.png"></p><p>This is a developing story, and we will be here following the latest for you on WeatherNation!</p>

<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/tropicsssssss-1794181777888.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/tropicsss-1794181810296.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>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.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH has been issued for areas of Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin through 8PM TONIGHT. WATCH for the potential of damaging winds, hail and isolated tornadoes. Flooding will also be a concern to monitor.

https://twitter.com/WeatherNation/status/1034504975764713472

Local rivers and tributaries are running near flood stage for many areas which means flooding potential remains elevated until the heavy rain has passed.

&nbsp;

After days of heavy rain the ground has become too saturated to absorb any of the ongoing rain today. This means the water is running off or ponding up leading to more isolated flooding in the areas around Mauston, WI

Flash Flood Watches remain in effect until early morning hours on Wednesday when the rain moves out.
