Several rounds of rain and snow will move from the Great Basin into the Rockies beginning Tuesday, likely creating travel issues at times as roads become slick or icy. Winter alerts will remain in effect into Thanksgiving morning across the higher elevations of Utah and Colorado. This does include the I-70 corridor for those traveling during and around the holiday.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2024/11/snowymts-1732566310765.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>Snow will last through early Thursday morning for some. Higher elevations will see the most significant snowfall, making mountain travel nearly impossible.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2024/11/grg-1732582872946.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>Snow totals could surpass 3 feet on the higher peaks by late Wednesday as the low exits the Rockies. As it moves into the Great Plains, snow could impact the I-25 corridor between Cheyenne, WY, and the Raton Pass into New Mexico. Travel could be difficult at times, especially over the Palmer Divide.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2024/11/Screenshot 2024-11-25 113455-1732559702088.png">Models are having a tough time with this system. The timing of how fast it moves through and how strong it sets up are two big factors that are tough to know. There is a chance that the low will form faster and stronger, keeping snow in the forecast through Wednesday into Thursday for the I-25 corridor.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2024/11/Screenshot 2024-11-24 063542-1732455480018.png">There is a ton of uncertainty with this forecast, stay with us as we answer the questions of it over the next few days.

Heavy Mountain Snow Moving Into the Rockies

After being so dry for so long, rain and snow look to move in just in time to hurt Thanksgiving travel plans. Pay attention to the forecast today and tomorrow, and have flexible travel plans since this system presents a few problems on Wednesday and Thursday.<h2>OVERVIEW</h2>A hefty area of low pressure will take shape east of the Rockies toward the middle of this week. Cold air will rush in as it moves out of the Midwest and into the Northeast. Rain could turn to snow before wind chills drop below zero.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2024/11/Screenshot 2024-11-25 162849-1732577336069.png"><h2>RAINY SIDE</h2>Rain will be the initial and predominant precipitation type with this system. Temperatures look to be a bit too warm for snow at the initial onset. The heaviest of the rain looks to target parts of the Tennessee River Valley, which could lead to some nuisance flooding on Wednesday and Thursday. The threat looks low, but any rain on the roads presents a hazard on a day when so many are already on them.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2024/11/Screenshot 2024-11-25 162913-1732577358003.png"><h2>SNOWY SIDE</h2>As cold air fills in on the backside of this system, some rain will turn into snow. The best chance will be north of the actual low. This system doesn't look to be a blockbuster snowstorm, but there is plenty of uncertainty.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2024/11/feef-1732582748289.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><h2>WHAT WE DON'T KNOW</h2>The path this low takes varies depending on the model. A track further to the north will keep more folks with a cold rain since the cooler air won't have a chance to come as far south. Since this low hasn't formed east of the Rockies quite yet, expect some models to keep jumping around with this system, but the timing seems fairly consistent.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2024/11/Screenshot 2024-11-25 070113-1732543338804.jpg"><h2>WHAT WE DO KNOW (BRRR)</h2>Whether or not the cold air catches up with the moisture is one question that doesn't have a clear answer. But the cold is coming. Eventually, the northwesterly flow will keep the cold air nearby, bringing periods of cold air.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2024/11/Screenshot 2024-11-25 070313-1732543402569.jpg">

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!

This low is pulling in cold air from the north and the temperature contrast is great enough between the airmass and the water for this phenomenon to occur.There are also Winter Weather Advisories for areas of northern New England as this system works over the region. This is for the early morning hours on Tuesday and continues through the afternoon for a wintry mix of weather. Freezing rain, sleet, and snow all could be possible for New England.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2024/11/Screenshot 2024-11-25 113624-1732559790924.png">The system will continue to push east overnight and into Tuesday. <video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2024/11/hyhyhyhyh-1732583189740.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>You can catch your Northeast forecast at:10 past the hour or your Central forecast at:30 past the hour, every hour on WeatherNation.

Great Lakes Snow and Cold To Kick off Thanksgiving Week

Screenshot20241125162207png-1732576930793.png

Last week, an intense mid-latitude cyclone targeted the West Coast of the United States, ushering a strong atmospheric river into Oregon and California. Another tongue of moisture is moving into the West Coast to start the week. This batch of snow has prompted Winter Storm Warnings and Winter Weather Advisories along the Sierra Nevada. Snowfall totals up to 4 feet will be possible, with gusts up to 55 mph. Travel will be nearly impossible, so plan accordingly.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2024/11/pvera;;-1732498456986.png">The frontal boundary has moved onshore bringing more rain and snow to an already saturated California. When the moisture reaches the higher elevations, it will turn to snow. By Tuesday night we will finally see things taper off in California, leading to a quiet rest of the holiday week, thankfully.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2024/11/eeede-1732583019198.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>Multiple rounds of rain and snow will continue on and off overnight and into Tuesday. Flooding will be possible in these areas as well. If you live in a low-lying area that can flood, be ready to leave if flash flood warnings are issued.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2024/11/Screenshot 2024-11-25 162640-1732577204819.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2024/11/Screenshot 2024-11-25 162608-1732577176820.png">Check back in with WeatherNation on air and online for updates on this impactful storm system.

Winds in the Pacific Northwest have been howling thanks to a bomb cyclone that brought hurricane-force winds to the area last week. Although that system has moved out, very gusty winds have been a concern, with gusts to 60-70 mph recorded in the last 24 hours.

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.

Heavy Snow Knocks Out Power in the Northeast, Blizzard Warning Issued

Screenshot20241123070427png-1732370671526.png

As a low-pressure system worked through Tuesday, we saw severe storms with small hail in portions of Michigan. Hail reached from penny to quarter size hail (1 inch). This system continues moving east, bringing rain chances into the I-95 corridor as it weakens. Light shower activity is possible from Maine to Virginia with isolated snow showers possible for far northern New England. Rain and snow accumulations will be extremely light, and the cold air behind this front will be more impactful.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2024/04/2024-04-24 07-44-46-1713966417875.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>As mentioned above, temperatures drop and lows will be in the 20s and 30s. We will see the potential for frost and freeze conditions in Northern States. Pull those potted plants inside and cover any new vegetation growth.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2024/04/Frost ADV Freeze Warning-1713961093677.png">Lows will be their coldest tonight before jumping back up into the weekend as southerly flow pushes mild, moist air north keeping overnight lows in the 50s and 60s! Some areas in Michigan could be cold enough to break records, with a few that could fall Friday morning in New York and Massachusetts.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2024/04/LOWS-1713966718665.jpg">
