DISCUSSION

Issued at 1226 AM EST Fri Nov 6 2026

A trough over Ontario will cut off a closed low over the Great Lakes overnight and Friday morning, pushing a cold front toward our area that will move through late in the day. Moisture will be very limited and shallow, but a few light showers or sprinkles are possible in the evening, as depicted by the HRRR and RRFS. Will add some low PoPs to the northern Plateau and VA counties bordering KY.

With high pressure centered over the central Plains and a northerly flow from the Great Lakes directed into the Appalachians, temperatures will drop behind the front on Saturday. Highs will be mainly in the upper 50s to lower 60s, with lows on Saturday night in the 30s. We will see dry conditions and a gradual warm up for early next week, with plenty of sunshine and highs mostly in the 60s through Wednesday. Looking toward the end of next week, there is a chance of a deep upper trough bringing much colder temperatures to the region.
