Computer models project mild weather for the eastern United States into the middle of December. The key to a cold, snowy pattern is an evolution of a high-pressure zone in the North Atlantic. A pair of weak storm systems could bring some minor wintry weather to parts of the Northeast. Computer models project a major storm over the central United States next week. The storm could bring near-blizzard conditions to the northern Plains and Upper Midwest. It may also be a catalyst for colder weather in the eastern half of the U.S., as high pressure builds over Alaska.
