This Week’s Latest Weather Report for the USA
This Week’s Latest Weather Report for the USA
Prepared for www.clickusanews.com Date: December 1, 2025 Coverage: December 1–7, 2025
As the first week of meteorological winter unfolds, the United States is bracing for a transition from mild late-fall conditions to a more wintry pattern. A series of storms will bring multiple snow events to the Northeast and Great Lakes regions, while colder-than-average air spills southward across the Midwest and East Coast. The West remains relatively drier and milder, with above-normal temperatures in the Southwest and California. Southeast states may see near-average conditions with some rain, and Florida stays warmer. Expect below-normal temperatures in the northern and northeastern U.S., influenced by a developing La Niña pattern and potential polar vortex influences later in the month. Snow chances increase mid-week in the North, with travel impacts possible around December 3–5. This report provides state-wise summaries, with daily breakdowns for key cities representing each state or region. Temperatures are in °F (high/low averages); conditions are generalized based on current forecasts.
