This morning's lows across the Eastern US set several records, mostly across the Southeast:
While not an official record, our station on Virginia Key had its coldest November low since we installed it in 2015:
The cold air flowing across the Great Lakes lead to lake effect snow for several locations, like Penn State's main campus in State College, PA:
The warmup has already started though with places across the Plains 30° warmer than yesterday afternoon and the Southeast already 10-15° warmer:
By this weekend, everywhere east of the Rockies except the Northeast will be above average:

The West will be the active spot over the rest of the week with significant rain making it all the way to southern California:
There will be a sneaky system that moves through the Northeast late Saturday through Sunday that could even bring some frozen precipitation in the lingering colder air there:
We will monitor the potential for wintry precip across that region and keep you updated!
