US National Weather Summary for November 30,2012

A major Winter storm slammed into the West Coast Friday, bringing widespread heavy rain, high elevation snow, and strong winds. A tremendous amount of moisture from the Pacific Ocean spread from Northern California into the central part of the state, allowing sustained precipitation to follow. Rainfall amounts up to 10 inches were reported in the hills north of the San Francisco Bay Area, while strong overnight winds up to 50 mph were reported in San Francisco itself. While this storm was relatively warm, high elevation snow did fall in the Sierra Nevadas above 6,000 feet. The snow became so intense near Lake Tahoe that chains were required for vehicles traveling on Interstate 80.

This rainfall gradually made its way southward down California, spreading heavy rain through the Central Valley into the afternoon. More rain likely through the evening hours as the main cold front makes its way into the Golden State.

Some streams in Northern California has reached flood stage, with minor flooding possible. More flooding is possible over the weekend as another powerful storm slams the same area.

Meanwhile, more rain and high elevation snow fell in the Northwest and Northern Rockies. Several inches of snow fell in the hills of Idaho and Montana.

Elsewhere, a stationary front stretching through the Ohio Valley allowed some snow showers to fall from Ohio through southern New York.

The Northeast rose into the 20s, 30s, and 40s, while the Southeast saw temperatures in the 60s and 70s. The Northern Plains rose into the 20s and 30s, while the Northwest saw temperatures in the 40s and 50s.

The end of November also marks the end of the Atlantic Hurricane Season. This year's season was active with a total of 19 named storms. Out of those, 10 became hurricanes with one (Michael) strengthening further into a major hurricane. This season was the second consecutive year that the mid-Atlantic and Northeast suffered devastating impacts from a named storm (Sandy this year; Irene in 2011). This was also the seventh straight year that the United States avoided a direct hit from a major hurricane.

More Heavy Rain on the Way for Sacramento

November 30,2012; 8:12PM,EST



Stormy weather will continue to soak the Sacramento, Calif., area throughout the weekend, possibly causing floods.
The heavy rain has continued today and will remain steady through tonight. There will be rain showers Saturday, but they will not be as heavy as Friday.
"Rain will move from the northwest into the southeast late Saturday night and into Sunday," said AccuWeather Expert Senior Meteorologist Ken Clark.
Heavy rainfall will affect the foothills of Santa Rosa and the central and northern Sierra Nevada's. These areas may see anywhere between 2-8 inches of rain according to Clark.
"Flooding has been an issue with these storms and it will become more of an issue throughout the weekend," Clark said.
There will be between 3-5 feet of snow at altitudes above 8,000 feet. At 7,000 feet, expect 10-20 inches of snow.

High Country Snow for the Northwest

By , Expert Senior Meteorologist
November 30,2012; 7:45PM,EST




A series of storms into early next week will bring tremendous high country snow and the risk of avalanches to the West.
Yards of snow will fall on the northern Sierra Nevada, and feet of snow will accumulate in the Cascades.
Snow levels will vary during the siege of storms and will dip to pass levels at times, especially over the northern Cascades.
At elevations above 7,500 feet in the northern Sierra Nevada, the storms are likely to bring between 6 and 10 feet of snow with blizzard conditions at times. Similar conditions are in store for Mount Shasta.
High winds, even below snow levels, could cause some high-profile vehicles to roll over.
Conditions may get much worse than this over some of the passes in the Cascades this weekend. (Photos.com image)
Through the weekend and into early next week, from 2 to 4 feet of snow is forecast to fall over the high country in the Cascades of Washington and Oregon, as well as the Bitterroots of Idaho and Montana.
Wintry Travel
For a brief time, snow will fall down to the high spots on I-80 at Donner Pass, where a half a foot to a foot of wet snow can fall through Friday night. Over the weekend, snow levels will rise above pass level in the northern Sierra Nevada.
Farther north, rounds of snow will end up being more of a problem for travelers.
Initially, through the first part of Saturday, accumulating snow will be above most passes in the Cascades of Washington and Oregon. Snow levels during this period will generally be above 4,000 feet.
However, over the balance of the weekend, snow levels will lower in the Northwest as the air turns a bit colder. This will bring accumulating snow to many passes Sunday into next week.
The storms and their snow through much of next week will avoid the Arizona Rim Country, the Wasatch and central and southern Rockies.
in the northern Sierra Nevada, snow levels will rise significantly Saturday into Sunday, before falling back early next week. As a result, a rapid meltdown of the snow at high elevations is possible for a time and will add to the risk of flooding and other problems.
Avalanche Danger
The series of storms with their high country snow will raise the risk of avalanches.
Feet and yards of snow accumulating in rapid fashion, combined with locally high winds and fluctuating temperatures, will make the slopes very unstable.
While avalanches are more common in the late winter and spring, they can occur in situations like this during the late autumn and early winter.
There is a possibility of significant snow slides especially over the weekend into next week.
By then the weight of the snow will be tremendous and any surge of warmth next week can cause the snow on the slopes to give way.

West Coast Power Outages, Battering Surf


By , Expert Senior Meteorologist
November 30,2012; 7:07PM,EST


A siege from the Pacific will continue as rounds of strong winds and rough seas batter the West Coast into next week.
High Winds, Power Outages
Rounds of strong wind gusts will accompany each storm and hammer coastal areas from northern California to Oregon, Washington and British Columbia.
The strong winds, can down trees and cause sporadic power outages.
According Expert Senior Meteorologist Brett Anderson, "Localized gusts can reach between 60 and 80 mph along the slopes and over the ridges of the Coast Ranges and Cascades and in the gaps between some of the mountains due to local effects."
One round of high winds hit the region Thursday into Friday. Another round is forecast late Saturday into Sunday.
Gusts over the ridges in the northern Sierra Nevada will range between 50 and 70 mph. The wind combined with snow, blizzard conditions would be an understatement. A "snowicane" may be more like it.
Those traveling along Highway 101 and portions of I-5 in the Northwest should stay alert for sudden crosswinds due to the local effects throughout the series of storms.
Heavy Seas, Surf's Up
The series of storms will generate rough seas into next week.
Offshore, waves of 20 to 25 feet will occur.
Due to the wind direction, the worst of the near-coast wave action, beach erosion and damaging surf will be in south-facing areas from Monterey Bay, Calif., to Vancouver Island, B.C. will continue through Tuesday.
However, even farther south along the coast of Southern California, heavy surf will occur through this weekend. Over Southern California, the west-facing beaches can be hit with waves of 10 to 15 feet. However, a few waves can be higher.
Powerful waves can cause injury and rip currents will be strong and frequent.
Because of the persistent wave action, minor coastal flooding at times of high tide can occur throughout the West Coast. Tides are astronomically higher up to a couple of days passed the full moon. The full moon was on Nov. 28.
It may not be until the middle of next week until the storms and seas settle down.

Icy Conditions Possible Saturday for Boston

November 30,2012; 11:42AM,EST




A mix of flurries and freezing drizzle will spread over the region late Friday night into Saturday as a weak disturbance moves through. Any untreated surfaces could become icy.
The immediate south coast should receive plain drizzle with temperatures remaining above freezing.
Saturday, the mix of flurries and freezing drizzle will linger for most of the day, as temperatures hover in the mid-30s.
Any icy spots will quickly diminish on Sunday as warmer air moves into the region. Temperatures will rise into the mid-50s.
The warmth will linger for the start of next week with temperatures rising even higher, reaching close to 60 degrees. A cold front will bring temperatures back to around 40 degrees for the midweek.

Storms to Bring Hail, Strong Winds to Houston


By , Expert Senior Meteorologist
November 26,2012; 9:56PM,EST


Locally drenching downpours to locally strong thunderstorms will kick off the week over parts of the South.
Initially, the greatest risk from the storms will be for isolated incidents of large hail. However, as warmth builds over the region and the air turns more humid ahead of an approaching front from the west, storms with damaging wind gusts and even a couple of tornadoes are possible.
Throughout the event, blinding downpours with the potential for urban flooding will be a risk.
As is the case with any thunderstorms, there can be cloud-to-ground lightning strikes with no notice.
Lightning strikes and locally strong winds will bring a risk of sporadic power outages, which may not sit well for Cyber Monday shoppers.
A storm dipping toward the lower Mississippi Valley, before swinging up the Atlantic Seaboard will briefly grab Gulf of Mexico warmth and humidity.
Cities likely to experience thunderstorms include Houston and Austin, Texas; Shreveport and New Orleans, La.; and Biloxi and Jackson, Miss.
There will be scattered showers and thunderstorms around during the day Monday across parts of Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas. These storms should not be severe but will contain locally heavy rainfall and gusty winds.
However, during Monday evening, thunderstorms are forecast by AccuWeather.com to become severe across parts of northeastern Texas and southern Arkansas. The remnants of these storms will then drift southeastward Monday night into Tuesday morning toward the central and northwestern Gulf Coast.
While the severe weather potential will be lower Tuesday, there will still be thunderstorms from southeastern Louisiana to the Florida Panhandle. Any of these thunderstorms could contain heavy rainfall.
The storms will affect part of the I-10 and I-20 corridors in the South Central states.
Elsewhere, there is little risk of new power outages across the nation on Monday.
Any non-flooding rain and non-severe thunderstorms would be welcomed in the South Central states and in the Southeast as rainfall deficits are mounting in the region.
For example, parts of the Houston area have received only a little over an inch of rain since Oct. 1. The normal rainfall for the period is about 9.50 inches.
Rainfall with the storm system is likely to be rather spotty upon reaching the southern Atlantic Seaboard Tuesday with the storm forecast by AccuWeather.com to track over the mid-Atlantic. However, the potential for a locally strong thunderstorm will also shift in that direction.

Snowy Tuesday for Central Appalachians


By , Expert Senior Meteorologist
November 26,2012; 9:44PM,EST


A weak and fast-moving, but sufficient storm will spread a swath of accumulating snow over portions of West Virginia, northwestern Virginia, western and northern Maryland and central and southeastern Pennsylvania late Monday night into Tuesday.
From 1 to 3 inches of snow and a bit of rain is forecast for most areas with less accumulation on most roads. Consult your local AccuWeather.com forecast for specific amounts.
However, since the snow will begin when road surface temperatures are chilly, during the late night and early morning, some of the snow will stick and make for slippery travel.
People should expect travel delays Tuesday. Motorists are advised that some roads may not have been treated and can be quite slippery. (Photos.com image)
The snow will end from west to east across the central Appalachians and eastern Pennsylvania during the afternoon and early evening.
Untreated areas made wet by the snow can become icy during the evening as the sky clears and temperatures slip below freezing.
Like all storms, this one will have a northern and western edge. No accumulating snow is forecast over northern Ohio, northwestern Pennsylvania and along much of the southern tier of New York.

December to Open With Mild Temperatures

November 26,2012; 9:31PM,EST




Recent waves of Canadian air will take a break during the first weekend of December over much of the United States.
Warmer weather will soon surge northward.
The core of the warmth will be centered over the Plains states and Ohio Valley, where some places have even seen some snowflakes over the past several days.
For many, the warm-up will provide great weather to complete outdoor holiday decorating without needing a pair of gloves.
Temperatures will be closing in on record high territory by Sunday from Nebraska down through Texas. Highs Sunday will be near 70 degrees from St. Louis down to Oklahoma City. Afternoon temperatures will flirt with the 80 degree-mark from Dallas to Houston.
Highs in these areas will average 10 to 20 degrees above normal for this time of year.
According to Senior Meteorologist Brett Anderson, "The peak of the warmth will be Sunday and Monday, although it should stay mild through the first week of December."
Aside from a few spotty showers along the Mississippi River, much of the time next weekend will be dry over the middle third of the nation with no significant storm systems.
While that is great news for those with holiday shopping or outdoor activities, the majority of this area is experiencing drought conditions and is in need of rain.
Anderson says that the main driver for the warm-up is the jet stream retreating well to the north back across southern Canada.
The jet stream is a belt of strong winds high in the atmosphere that not only often marks the path for storms, but also usually separates warm air to the south from cold air to the north.
The warmth will not be as pronounced farther to the east, but temperatures early next week could still climb up to near 60 degrees from New York down through Philadelphia and Washington.
In these areas farther east, Anderson says that "the warm-up will be gradual, but it will feel a lot better by early next week."
For those of you that like the warmer weather, enjoy it while it lasts. Anderson hints that a colder weather pattern could move in for the second week of December, just in time for skiing interests before the holidays.

Tuesday Night Snow for Boston, Providence

By , Expert Senior Meteorologist
November 26,2012; 9:24PM,EST



A weak, fast-moving storm will bring a period of snow (and rain) to Boston, southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island from Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday morning.
Most areas south and east of Boston will receive an inch or snow or less from the storm with virtually no snowfall north and west of Boston.
The snow and rain will be intermittent most of the time over much of Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
Later Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, the hills south of Boston to perhaps Cape Cod and Rhode Island have a shot at picking up a little more snow, if the storm manages to gain a bit of strength, before heading out to sea.
This is not the type of storm that will bring strong winds and downed trees and power lines.

Snow for Philadelphia, Northern and Western Suburbs

By , Expert Senior Meteorologist
November 26,2012; 9:21PM,EST



A weak, fast-moving storm will bring a period of snow and rain to the Philadelphia area during Tuesday.
As is often the case, the greatest accumulation will be north and west of the city, where between 1 and 3 inches of snow is forecast.
Around the city, a coating to an inch of snow and slush are in store, where some rain and slightly higher temperatures will play a role in cutting the accumulation.
Most of the accumulation will be on non-paved surfaces. However, roads are likely to be slippery, slushy and snow covered north and west of the city for a significant part of the day.
The snow and rain will begin near or prior to the morning rush hour Tuesday.
As the temperature falls slightly toward evening, prior to the storm heading out to sea, snow and slushy spots can migrate southeastward across the city and perhaps into central Delaware and southern New Jersey.
So if you depart the city during evening rush hour, road conditions could change significantly in a short period of time.
Untreated areas made wet by the snow and rain during Tuesday can become icy during the evening and overnight hours.
The storm will not bring significant wind, so downed trees and power lines are not expected.
The weather for the balance of the week will be free of precipitation.

High is Happy, Low is Lousy


By Grace Muller, AccuWeather.com Staff Writer
November 26,2012; 8:45PM,EST



When meteorologists talk about pressure, they talk about it in terms of "high" and "low." High-pressure systems are usually indicative of clear skies and nice weather. During low-pressure systems, rainy and cloudy weather dominates, making for a dull and dreary day outside.
An easy way to remember that high pressure systems are associated with good weather and low-pressure systems with bad weather is to think of high as "happy" and low as "lousy."
High pressure is normally associated with really nice weather, but in the wintertime, systems that come down from Canada and the Arctic are very cold and can cause extreme chilly conditions. In the summer, lingering high pressure systems can lead to some really hot days. For example, during the summer in Texas, high pressure systems lead to temperatures in the triple digits.

Snow for Northwest DC Suburbs

By , Expert Senior Meteorologist
November 26,2012; 7:42PM,EST




A weak, fast-moving storm will affect Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia late Monday night and Tuesday with rain and snow.
Mostly rain will fall over the Washington Metro area and areas to the south and east. However, as we often see with winter-style storms, lower temperatures will lead to progressively more snow and accumulation as you head north and west of the city.
No accumulation is forecast in Washington, D.C., but up to 3 inches or so of snow will fall over northwestern Virginia and north-central Maryland.
The storm with its snow, rain and wintry mix will begin during the wee hours of the morning Tuesday.
Road surface conditions in metro Washington will be wet. However, commuters in the distant northern and western suburbs along Interstates 66, 70 and 83 can encounter slippery and slushy conditions during part of their journey during the morning and midday. This is especially true on the secondary roads that feed into them.
The storm will end from west to east during the afternoon and early evening hours.
Untreated wet areas can freeze during the evening and overnight Tuesday, especially outside of the city and on elevated surfaces, as there will not be much wind to dry surfaces off very quickly.
The balance of the week will be free of storms and precipitation.

Period of Snow for New York City Tuesday


By , Expert Senior Meteorologist
November 26,2012; 7:32PM,EST



A weak storm will spread a swath of snow over the New York Metropolitan area Tuesday into Tuesday evening.
While a major snowfall is not expected, a coating to perhaps an inch of snow is forecast around the city with between 1 and 3 inches falling west of I-287 over northern New Jersey. Throughout the region, most of the accumulation will be on non-paved surfaces.
Most roads across Manhattan, for example, are likely to be wet. However, some slushy and slippery conditions can develop briefly during any period of moderate snow. This is most likely outside of the five boroughs, mainly north and west, where the temperature will be slightly lower.
Some travel delays are possible.
The bulk of the snow will fall during the daylight hours, when it will have to fight air and road surface temperatures above freezing, when opposed to the nighttime hours. The storm will also bring rain to some of the coastal areas.
During the first part of Tuesday night, it is possible that the snow will pick up over eastern Long Island. In this case, cooling surface temperatures could lead to a couple of inches of accumulation. However, that is only contingent on the storm strengthening a bit before heading out to sea.
Unlike the storm from a few weeks ago, this storm will not bring heavy snow to Connecticut.
The storm this Tuesday is more of a fast-moving, flat wave of low pressure as opposed to an intensifying storm that stalls nearby for a number of hours.
North of New York City, most areas are likely to pick up an inch or so from the storm.

Cyber Monday Deals, Gone in a Flash?

By Vickie Frantz, AccuWeather.com Staff Writer
November 26, 2012; 7:12 PM
This picture of an online shopper is courtesy of Photos.com.
The recently added Thanksgiving holiday shopping deal day Cyber Monday could hit a snag when severe thunderstorms move into Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi.
Cyber Monday is the day that online retailers offer discounted prices to shoppers. Often free shipping is part of the deal. The shopping day first started the Monday after Thanksgiving and Black Friday in 2005.
Shoppers can avoid the cold and stormy weather by staying home and shopping from their computers, tablets or smart phones.
Online shopping could become a challenge for bargain hunters in parts of the southern U.S. "There will be locally strong to severe thunderstorms for northeastern Texas to central Arkansas that may cause power outages," said AccuWeather Expert Senior Meteorologist Alex Sosnowski.
The storms will move into the upper Texas coast, central Louisiana and central Mississippi by Monday night. "Hail, damaging wind gust and even a few tornadoes are possible from this storm system," Sosnowski said.
The rain will continue to move along the northeastern Gulf Coast Tuesday, possibly producing more locally strong thunderstorms before ending.
If you live in one of the potential storm areas, make sure to charge up your laptop, cell phone or tablet if you plan on doing online shopping Monday.

Accumulating Snow Reaches Buffalo, Niagara Falls Sunday

By , Senior Meteorologist
November 24,2012; 9:25AM,EST




Accumulating snow will avoid Buffalo and Niagara Falls today, but the same cannot be said when this long Thanksgiving holiday weekend comes to an end Sunday.
While the lake-effect snow machine is in full gear across the Great Lakes, Buffalo and Niagara Falls will not have anything more than a passing snow shower into this evening.
The bitter northwesterly winds that turned on the lake-effect snow machine typically do not direct the heaviest snow bands at these two cities.
Sunday is when snow will whiten Buffalo and Niagara Falls for the first time this winter season.
The combination of a clipper system arriving from the upper Great Lakes and enhancement from Lake Erie will lead to 2 to 4 inches of snow in Buffalo with a coating to an inch in Niagara Falls.
The snow will accumulate the most in the afternoon as the heaviest snow shifts from the Ski Country communities in southwestern New York to Buffalo and Niagara Falls, putting holiday travelers at risk for slick roadways and reduced visibility.
Those traveling by air may also encounter flight delays.
The snow will taper to lighter flurries on Sunday night with a dry, but chilly day to follow for Monday. A bit of snow may return to Buffalo and Niagara Falls on Tuesday if a stormy solution pans out for the Northeast.

Showery Northwest Could Have Weekend Travel Delays

By Courtney Spamer, Meteorologist
November 24, 2012; 7:50 AM
Following one of the weakest days of the year, Black Friday, the weekend after Thanksgiving is notorious for being some of the busiest travel days of the year.
Continuing the trend of wet weather in the Northwest, rain and snow showers could make traveling home after the Thanksgiving holiday a little complicated.
Normally busy cities, like Portland, Ore., and Seattle, Wash., will have rain with a cold front pushing south and east through the area on Saturday.
Sunday will be a much better travel day for these states with clouds and some sunshine.
Much of Idaho and Montana will have wet weather both days this weekend. Much of the precipitation will start out as rain on Saturday, changing over to snow on Saturday night.
While the cold front will be out over the Plains by Sunday, a weak low pressure will linger over the northern Rockies, keeping snow showers around in the colder air.
Snow showers are also expected to spread into Wyoming and South Dakota on Sunday.
Many other locations in the West will be quiet for the weekend, including major traveling hubs like San Francisco; Phoenix, Ariz.; and Denver, Colo. These places are forecast to be dry with at least some sunshine.
Another major city, Los Angeles, along with other coastal Southern California cities will need to look out for morning fog that could cause travel complications and delays this weekend.
