The Weather regime is changing in late November 2011


Someone must have inadvertently hit the switch a little early this season as I am seeing a marked change in the weather patterns. I think cold and unsettled would be two good descriptors to use.

What had been warm and balmy conditions with highs reaching the upper fifties and low sixties the last full week of November, now a change seems to be on hand as the area here in southwest Missouri should experience a series of re-enforcing cold shots from upper level troughs over much of next week. This will keep the temperatures in only the forties for the daytime and into the 20’s at night. Then, towards the weekend another active system is expected to make an entrance along with increased chances for precipitation. The only question I have is what form the precipitation will take!

That weekend, by the way, will put us into the beginning of December with only a few weeks to go before the first day of winter begins on the 21st. Now would be a good time to make sure you have stowed some winter essentials into your vehicle in case the weather gets nasty while you’re out.
