WEATHER

 Washington Post - The weather hasn’t really felt like November in the Northeast and Great Lakes, where temperatures have commonly been 5 to 10 degrees above average for this time of year. Nationwide, it’s been the fifth-slowest start to the snow season since at least 2008.

But that’s about to change.A buckle in the jet stream will give rise to a multifaceted storm system in much of the eastern half of the United States, bringing wet snow, much-needed moisture, blustery conditions and some of the coolest conditions since April.

Beginning Thursday into the weekend, conditions will contrast sharply with the tranquility that fall 2024 has been known for, with the potential for wet snow across more than a dozen states — from Wisconsin to Maine, and as far south as the mountains of western North Carolina.
