<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.

<p></p><h1>What We Know</h1><p>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><h2><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/Screenshot 2026-11-07 103422-1794073182237.png">Forecast Timing</h2><p>The low will work its way through Wednesday and push to the east. Most will start out as rain, and on Thursday and Friday we will see the transition to snow for some.</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/2026-11-12 05-21-24-1794486114130.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><h2>Snow Totals</h2><p>Models have kept with Tuesday's trend and a faster overall system, which limits the amount of snow in the lowest elevations.

East Coast Snow.... What We Know About the Late Week System

<p>Hurricane season isn’t over yet. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is monitoring two 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/JJJHHHH-1794452531555.png"></p><p><strong>Atlantic: Staying Quiet</strong></p><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>An interesting setup is rolling through the Midwest and Ohio Valleys this week.

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. There could also be some snow chances with the colder air getting wrapped up into the system.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/Screenshot 2026-11-07 113507-1794076517572.png"></p><p>For more on your Eastern Regional Forecast, tune in to WeatherNation :10 past the hour.</p>

Heavy Rain Brings Flooding Concerns to Northeast as Storm System Moves East

Multiple fronts, possessing abundant amounts of moisture, will be pushing through the Midwest and Plains over the next 7 days. A marginal  to slight risk of excessive rainfall is in effect for today.  The upper Midwest could see up to two inches of rain today, alone.

<img class="alignnone wp-image-97940 size-large" src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2018/10/RUMb-728x408.jpg" alt="" width="728" height="408" />

For the next four days, up to four inches of rain could possibly fall for these same areas.

The latest Weather Prediction Center seven day rainfall totals show anywhere from 7-10+" of rain possible for the Plains and Midwest region. Due to the possibility of large amounts of rain, flooding may be seen over the next week. Make sure to never drive through flooded roadways, and take extra precaution during your commutes. Heavy rain could make the roads very slippery.
