Short Range Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 146 AM EST Wed Nov 29 2017 Valid 12Z Wed Nov 29 2017 - 12Z Fri Dec 01 2017 ...Mild temperatures to continue for most of the lower 48... ...Light snow likely for northern New York and New England today and again late Thursday... A fairly quiet couple of days is in store as a couple of systems move across the country. A cold front will push off the east coast this afternoon with only light snow or a wintry mix with its passage. Tail end of the front will stall over the lower Mississippi Valley and dissipate by late this evening. Scattered light rain is possible from Louisiana northward to Missourri. To the north, another system will push eastward through the High Plains into the Great Lakes with light rain or snow (mostly near the Canadian border). That will move into the Northeast late Thursday with generally scattered light rain and some snow to the north. Temperatures will be mild especially ahead of the front with near record highs possible in South Dakota today. The east will be mild as well with widespread 60s into the Mid-Atlantic. To the west, high pressure today will limit precipitation through the region, but another Pacific front will push into Washington and Oregon on Thursday. Another round of light to modest rain/snow is likely with several inches of snow possible in the Cascades. That system will move quickly toward the Plains by Friday morning where another mild day is in store for Nebraska/Iowa northward.
