**Upcoming Storm to Bring Chilly Weather and Snow to the Northeast and Great Lakes**

With the pre-Thanksgiving weekend fast approaching, residents in much of the eastern United States should brace for a significant change in weather. Though the region has enjoyed balmy temperatures, 5 to 10 degrees above the November average, this trend is set to end abruptly.

Nationwide, it's been the fifth-slowest start to the snow season since 2008. But the coming days will see a shift as a buckle in the jet stream sets the stage for a multifaceted storm system. This storm is expected to bring a mix of wet snow, essential moisture, and blustery conditions to the Northeast and Great Lakes.

As the storm moves in later this week, these areas will experience some of the coolest temperatures since April. The weather pattern shift will be a marked difference from the unseasonably warm conditions that have dominated the region so far.
