High pressure is likely to be centred to the west or northwest over the North Atlantic through this period with low pressure to the east. Slowly evolving weather patterns are therefore most probable through this time. However, around the turn of the year, an area of low pressure may move through the North Sea bringing a period of wetter and windier weather, especially to the north. With cold air close to the UK, some wintry hazards are possible in places.

Meteorologists are predicting colder-than-normal temperatures to hit a large portion of the United States, which will bring the first snowstorms of the year to many areas. Towns and cities in northern Midwest have already been blanketed with snow this weekend and the same treatment is set to arrive in the central Plains, Ohio Valley, mid-Atlantic and New England starting early next week. There was a 45-car pileup along Interstate 70 about 10 miles from Terre Haute, Indiana, due to the snow.
