Sunday, November 30, 2025, brings notably warmer weather across the region as we prepare for an impending cold front later in the evening. Today’s climate features a blend of sunshine and clouds, driven by a southwesterly wind that will elevate temperatures into the mid to upper 60s, slightly above normal for this time of year.
However, this pleasant warmth will be short-lived. The aforementioned cold front is expected to pass through tonight and stall just offshore on Monday, leading to a shift in weather patterns. On Monday, a weak wedge of high pressure extending from upstate New York will maintain dry conditions, with partly sunny skies and brisk highs only reaching the 50s.
As the front progresses, an area of low pressure will develop, which is projected to move swiftly north and east along the coast. This system is anticipated to carry an abundance of moisture—approximately 200% of the usual amount—resulting in widespread rainfall from late Monday night into Tuesday.
While the exact trajectory of the low pressure system remains uncertain, forecasters suggest that if it veers just inland, this could instigate some instability which might lead to thunderstorms on Tuesday. Meteorologists are advising cautious monitoring of the situation, indicated by the lightning icon on weather graphics due to this uncertainty.
Forecasts estimate rainfall amounts between 1 and 1.5 inches, which, given the area’s current “moderate drought” status, the ground should absorb relatively well. However, some minor flooding might occur in areas with poor drainage or on low-lying roads, particularly noticeable on Tuesday.
As the system moves out Tuesday night, a cold front will follow, potentially bringing residual moisture and perhaps a few snowflakes as the precipitation concludes. Following this, dry and cool high pressure will dominate Wednesday and Thursday.
Looking ahead, another southern storm system is predicted to develop by Friday into the weekend, suggesting the potential for rainy conditions, mostly on Friday night, as warmer air remains prevalent.
Meteorologist Christopher Cawley provides the forecast with an eye on these dynamic weather changes, reminding residents to stay prepared as conditions evolve.
