HEADLINES: Welcome to the approaching weekend! I have great news for you. The weekend will be mild by November standards. Temperatures will be in the 70s on both Saturday and Sunday. With some sunshine it will feel nice outside. There will be gusty winds from the south. This will be ahead of a strong cold front that will sweep through our region on Sunday night and Monday.
The front will enter our western counties on Sunday night and move across our whole region by Monday afternoon. Showers and some thunderstorms will accompany the frontal system. Severe weather threat appears low - little instability to work with. I will monitor, as always, this part of the forecast. Wind fields are strong with this system - but with little instability to work with.
Rainfall amounts with this system should be in the 0.50-1.00" range. I increased them a little bit from my previous update. It appears that the front will be slow moving.
Here is what the average rainfall totals should look like for Sunday night and Monday
Gusty winds will occur ahead of the front on Saturday and Sunday. Boaters should use care if out on area lakes.
Temperatures will fall behind the cold front on Monday and Tuesday. Typical for November. Warm up ahead of the front and cool down behind the front.

1. Fairly active storm pattern setting up for the middle and end of November - I am expecting 2-4 storm systems to roll through our region with chances for showers and some thunderstorms. Too early to mention any severe weather concerns - but monitor future updates.

If you are a weather enthusiast then I recommend listening to WeatherBrains each week! For a more in-depth look at what is happening in meteorology.
Now is a GREAT
time to buy a NOAA All Hazards
Weather Radio. Better to have one
before storms
strike than to be without one
during an event. I recommend the
Midland Model 300 NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio - that is what I use here at my house!
