What a weekend this has been! Loads of sunshine will once again dominate the forecast as temperatures climb into the mid and upper 50s across the metro region. This will be one of the nicer days in the coming week as high pressure decides to bid farewell to the region tomorrow afternoon.
Outlook:
Tomorrow, the surface high that has been sitting on top of the metro for the past few days rapidly deteriorates as a low pressure system (with the remnants of former Tropical Storm Gamma) begins to develop along the southeast coast. Clouds will thicken rapidly over the course of the afternoon/early evening as the strengthening low approaches. Precipitation chances increase to near 90 percent by nightfall Monday.
Tuesday will feature coastal gales approaching 20-30 kts (25-35 mph) and hefty rainfall totals approaching 1-3 inches across the entire region. Even though Tuesday looks to be a washout, the coastal storm is embedded in a quick upper level flow that will zip it on out of here by Wednesday--granted--a few showers will likely remain around the region during the morning hours.
As a result of this coastal low, very cold Canadian air will once again invade the east coast Wednesday and linger through the Thanksgiving weekend.
Snowy Thanksgiving...
Now here's a useful equation for you snow fanatics out there:

Cold air + Clipper=Snow
A trailing clipper system (a quite sizeable one at that per the latest GFS model-but likely overdone) behind this departing cyclone is forecast to move into the Mid Atlantic late Wednesday night/Thanksgiving day. Surface temperatures at this point, appear to be at least marginally favorable for some rain/snow showers even in the immediate Metro region. Don't expect any accumulation though, as surface temperatures will be quite "mild" in the upper 30s to near 40.
