Active for the holiday?

As we get closer to the holiday, the forecast looks a little uncertain. It does look like the activity will ramp up across parts of the Midwest and the midsouth, which could lead to a few rounds of precipitation. Over the holiday weekend.

Cold settles in:

It also appears that we may have flipped that switch. Beyond the holiday weekend, the 8 to 14-day outlook, which takes us into the beginning of December, has very strong signals of running colder than normal for the beginning of the month.
