Philly: Week to End Chilly After Thursday Rain

By Alex Sosnowski, Expert Senior Meteorologist

November 3,2014; 7:04PM,EDT

After the weather smiles on the region for Election Day and the middle of the week, a storm will move in Thursday, followed by a quick shot of chilly air for the Philadelphia area.
Temperatures will climb well into the 60s at midweek and will combined with at least partial sunshine.
A storm is forecast to move into the region on Thursday. The storm has the potential to bring travel delays and the risk of poor drainage area flooding.

At the very least, Thursday will bring umbrella weather. Find out when the rain will affect your commute by checking the AccuWeather MinuteCast® for your exact location. Type in your city name, select MinuteCast, and input your street address. On mobile, you can also use your GPS location.
The storm later this week will not pack the wind and cold air of the storm this past weekend. However, it will bring a day or so of blustery and chilly conditions.
Temperatures are forecast to again moderate during the first part of next week, ahead of a more significant blast of cold air toward the middle of the month.

The Atlantic Hurricane season steadily declines during the month of November. The reason for this is the strengthening westerlies, which prevent storm formation. The surface waters are also cooling more rapidly.

Weather Underground Forecast for Sunday,November 2,2014

A trough of low pressure will move over the Intermountain West on Sunday, while a strong low pressure will skim across the Eastern Seaboard.

A trough of low pressure will shift eastward over the Intermountain West on Sunday. This system will usher heavy snow showers across portions of the central and northern Rockies, focusing over Colorado and northwest Montana. In addition, mixed precipitation will affect the lower elevations of the Rockies. An onshore flow will keep conditions unsettled over the Pacific Northwest, resulting in light showers across the region. There will be a chance of afternoon and evening thunderstorms over Arizona and New Mexico as the aforementioned system taps into tropical moisture over the Desert Southwest. Conditions are expected to clear up over California as high pressure builds over the eastern Pacific.

Meanwhile, an arctic high pressure system will dominate the central portion of the country. This system will focus over the Mississippi Valley on Sunday. Gusty winds will move over the high Plains during the second half of the day, while the Mississippi Valley and the upper Midwest will experience a much calmer weather pattern.

Just to the east, a strong coastal system will trek northward along the northern Mid-Atlantic and New England. Heavy snow showers will impact northern New England. Portions of Maine will receive up to a foot of snow, while coastal regions will experience a mixture of rain and snow.

Rain, Snow Threat for France and Italy Next Week

By Courtney Spamer, Meteorologist

November 2,2014; 9:45PM,EDT

Rain hovering over southern France and western Italy will bring flooding problems, with some snow possible in the highest elevations of the Alps next week.
Moisture associated with a low pressure area near the Untied Kingdom early Monday will swing into northwestern France. Much of France will get rain during the day Monday.
The system will remain rather stationary over the Ligurian Sea, the northern portion of the Mediterranean, and will bring periods of heavy rain Tuesday through Wednesday for southeastern France and western Italy, reaching as far inland as southern Switzerland.

Cities of Marseille, Lyon, Nice and Monaco in France can expect substantial rainfall. The heavy rain will also affect cities in western Italy, including Genoa, Turin and Milan.
Rainfall amounts through Wednesday are expected between 50 and 100 mm (2 to 4 inches). Some downpours, however, could bring as much as 150 mm (6 inches) in some areas.
This heavy rain, falling in an area that has been on the drier side recently, will cause flooding to be a likely threat. Enough rain could fall in some places could make landslides possible.

Rain will likely reach farther north into southern parts of Switzerland. However, the higher elevations of the Alps could see precipitation falling as snow.
The rain shifts farther south and east, bringing periods of rain to Rome and Naples later in the week. The system could bring some heavy rain to southern Italy and Greece into the end of the new week.

Snow, Wind Take Aim for New England

November 2,2014; 9:43PM,EDT

As snow exits southeast New England, snow will continue over Maine through the overnight.
The system that dove south and brought record-setting snowfall to parts of the Southeast on Saturday made a turn to the north and brought snow and high winds to New England on Sunday.
A strong low pressure system continues to strengthen as it swings northeastward towards Nova Scotia.
Rain and snow will slowly move away from southern New England but snow will persist over Maine for the majority of the overnight. Winds will remain breezy across the Northeast and New England through the overnight.

Wind gusts up to 40 mph will blast Boston and New York City through the overnight. Wind gusts up to 30 mph were observed during the New York City Marathon Sunday morning.
A 68 mph wind gust was reported Sunday morning in Nantucket, Massachusetts.

Snowfall impacted portions of eastern Massachusetts including the city of Boston where a measurable snowfall caused roads to be slushy and slippery on Sunday. The snow moved eastward out of the area just in time for the Broncos/Patriots kickoff in Foxborough, Mass.

Accumulating snowfall will remain confined over Maine throughout the overnight, with the heaviest amounts falling across interior Maine into New Brunswick. Some areas could see storm total snowfalls of 6-10 inches.

This early season wet and heavy snow combined with strong wind gusts should not cause a major concern for trees as most of their leaves have already fallen across Maine. However, the weight of snow and forceful wind gusts could still snap some trees and cause sporadic power outages.

Super Typhoon Nuri to Spare Philippines, Target Japan

By Courtney Spamer, Meteorologist

November 2,2014; 9:34PM,EDT

Nuri strengthened to a Super Typhoon Sunday morning, EDT, over the warm waters of the West Pacific.
A front moving through the East China Sea and Japan Saturday picked up the storm as it churned in the Western Pacific. This interaction brought a drastic change in Nuri's path. After heading mostly westward over the past week, Nuri has tracked northward through the Philippine Sea to the east and northeast of the Philippines.
The Philippines likely will still get a few showers and thunderstorms through Monday with the passing of the front as well as some outer bands of the storm. The biggest impact to the islands will be rough seas and rip currents to the eastern shores of the Philippines.

Nuri developed on Halloween and quickly strengthened on Saturday into a typhoon. Favorable environmental conditions will keep Nuri at or near Super Typhoon status into the middle of the upcoming week.
During its northerly track, the front moving through Japan is expected to slow down. This slow advancement of the front will allow Nuri to make an approach on Japan for the end of the week.

Even so, it remains likely the Nuri will pass to the east of Japan and out into the open Pacific Ocean by next weekend.
Japan can still feel some impacts from this large storm as interaction with the front will likely pull moisture into eastern Honshu resulting in the threat for downpours capable of causing flash flooding and even mudslides in areas of rugged terrain.
The strongest winds associated with Nuri will remain offshore, but the threat for locally damaging wind gusts is a possibility right near the east coast of Honshu as Nuri makes its closest approach on Thursday.

Heavy Rain, Localized Flooding to Soak Eastern US This Week

November 2,2014; 9:30PM,EDT

After a cool weekend, a storm system will move across the eastern United States this week and could bring localized flooding from Texas to Maine.
Many locations along the East had temperatures 5-15 degrees below average for the beginning of November as an area of high pressure brought cold Canadian air to the area. This cold air even brought some accumulating snow to portions of the Southeast and heavy snow to Maine.
As this high spreads eastward towards the western Atlantic Ocean, winds will shift to the south early this week bringing in warmer air from the Gulf of Mexico as temperatures return to more seasonable values.
While temperatures will rise early in the week, an area of low pressure and cold front will move across the Rockies to the Plains where it will pick up moisture from the Gulf of Mexico and initiate heavy rainfall across the South.

The heaviest rainfall will occur on Tuesday across portions of Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Texas where some areas could receive over 2 inches.
This heavy rain could cause localized flooding in poor drainage areas, but it will bring relief to the drought, especially over Oklahoma and Texas.
This front will continue eastward on Wednesday as heavy rain will impact the Southeast. Additional moisture from Vance in the Eastern Pacific could assist in the heavy rain threat.

Heavy rain could impact Louisiana on Wednesday and portions of Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama late Wednesday into Thursday.
As it moves across the Southern states, a new area of low pressure is forecast to form across southern Louisiana late Wednesday and will move northeastward toward the mid-Atlantic and Northeast for the end of the week.

Blustery and Chilly Start to the Week in Northeast

By Courtney Spamer, Meteorologist

November 2, 2014; 9:24PM,EDT

Following the storm that dumped snow from South Carolina to Maine during the weekend, cool air will filter in for the start of the week.
The drastic cool down that came through at the start of the weekend will continue into Monday.
Boston failed to reach 50 degrees on Saturday, but temperatures will struggle to even reach the lower 40s on Sunday. Temperatures Monday will remain in the 40s with a brisk west-northwest wind. The normal for this time of year in Boston is in the mid-50s.
Highs south and west to Albany, New York, and Hartford, Connecticut, will also be 10 to 15 degrees below average Sunday.
Temperatures will rebound to more seasonable values on Monday from New York state and points south, but will remain below average across New England.

AccuWeather RealFeel® Temperatures, when combining the cold air and the blustery conditions, will make it feel like it is in the 20s across much of New England and through the higher elevations of New York and Pennsylvania on Sunday.
The wind speed will make an impact for those traveling across the Northeast and even into parts of the South Sunday.
Early Sunday morning, winds were already sustained at 25 mph, gusting as high as 40 mph.
Airports such as LaGuardia, Newark, and Logan International could see delays through Monday. Because these are busy travel hubs, these delays could cascade to other parts of the country as well.
They gusting winds could also cause problems for those driving. According to AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Alex Sosnowski, "Winds will be higher over elevated surfaces, such as bridges, and where funneled between buildings."

The storm will continue to intensify as it moves farther northeastward through Monday, continuing the whipping winds for the start of the workweek. Some gusts could reach 50 mph along the New England coast and up through Maine and Atlantic Canada.

As the storm pulls away by late Monday, winds will subside. A southerly flow will bring in some warmer air into the East. Ahead of the next storm system moving from the Ohio Valley and through the Northeast Tuesday and Wednesday, temperatures will once again soar.

Highs midweek look to land in the upper 70s for cities like Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. Mid-60s on Wednesday in Boston will precede the next wave of rain.
