Forecasters say the change could last from Thanksgiving week through at least the first half of December.

CHICAGO — Forecasters across the country are closely watching the end of November for what could become a rare clash of weather extremes. A strong El Niño, one of the most powerful on record, is already shaping the winter outlook. At the same time, the polar vortex is showing signs of weakening unusually early in the season.
