<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>.

<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.

<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</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/2026/11/2026-11-11 05-03-51-1794398663650.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. However, a decent high-terrain snow looks like a safe bet in the mountains of New England.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/Screenshot 2026-11-11 050508-1794398734540.png"></p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/11/Screenshot 2026-11-11 050553-1794398777745.png"></p><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 2026-11-11 050651-1794398829233.png"></p><p><strong>For the latest update on this forecast, tune into WeatherNation.</strong></p>

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!

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.

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.
