Well this period looks to be a transition to torch across the CONUS. Zonal PAC flow over bare ground and then downsloped off the Rockies will allow December to begin warm. It does appear we may escape the worst of the mild weather, but it will turn milder for sure. Until then, perhaps a very weak system this weekend. The GFS is more bullish with overrunning but the Euro while very dry...does hint at moisture coming off the Atlantic and maybe a period of very light snw or freezing precip. Beyon
