AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
142 PM EST Sat Nov 15 2025
Weather Synopsis:
The quick-hitting high pressure system affecting us today will
depart by tonight. This will allow a warm front, associated with
a clipper system moving into the Great Lakes, to lift into the
region. This clipper system will pass north of the region on
Sunday, dragging a cold front across our area. High pressure
will then build down into the Plains on Monday, and pass off the
Mid-Atlantic coast on Tuesday. Weak low pressure will affect
the area Tuesday night into Wednesday. Brief high pressure will
return for Thursday. A cold front is then forecast to move
through the region later in the week.
Near Term:
THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT -
High pressure departing the area presently as clipper system
approaches from the northwest. This system will first drag a
warm front across the region, accompanied by some showers
especially in the north this evening, perhaps even enough
instability for an isolated thunderstorm. Another round of
showers possible (but less confident in) late in the night into
the early morning Sunday before the cold front arrives. Temps
will be steady much of the night, possibly even rising a bit
overnight as warm front moves through. Lows 40s north of Philly
and 50s from Philly south.
Cold front blasts its way thru Sunday morning with winds
shifting west-northwest and increasing considerably. As
mentioned, could be a stray shower lingering Sunday morning
ahead of the front, but *generally* a dry day - second caveat,
however, is that spotty rain and *snow* showers may rotate
southeastward across the region during the afternoon and
evening, especially in the Poconos where small accumulations
can`t be ruled out. The main story, however, is the wind, which
will howl after the front passes... sustained 15-25 mph with
gusts to 40, possibly 45. Think we stay below wind advisory,
but not by much. Highs 60s southern Delmarva, 50s most elsewhere
except 40s Poconos, but falling across the region during the
afternoon post-front.
Winds and spotty rain/snow shower chances fall Sunday night
(with snow shower chances lingering longest in the Poconos),
but remaining breezy and colder. Lows 20s Poconos, 30s most
everywhere else.
Short Term:
MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY - The main story for
Monday should be the winds. I say should, because we`ll still
need to keep an eye on any Lake Effect snow showers reaching the
southern Poconos. And that could become the bigger story. But
attm, the threat looks minimal.
So, west to northwest winds will remain quite noticeable on
Monday with gusts up to at least 25 mph. Highs will also be
noticeably cooler compared to Sunday topping out in the upper
30s across the far northwest to around 50 south. Many will be in
the 40s.
The winds will begin to chill on Monday night and will remain
on the lighter side into Tuesday as surface high pressure builds
across the region. Monday night lows will solidly be in the 30s
(20s north and west and in the NJ Pines). Highs on Tuesday will
mainly be in 40s.
Long Term:
TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY -
Weak low pressure will pass through the region Tuesday night
and/or early Wednesday. The timing will need to be shored up in
the days to come. While some wintry precip is possible for the
higher elevations of the southern Poconos and far northwest New
Jersey, rain will be the dominant p-type.
High pressure will then build down into the Great Lakes and
Ohio Valley on Thursday and move offshore on Friday. Another
storm system is expected to approach Friday or Saturday, but
there are also timing and placement inconsistencies with this
one as well. So for now, will follow the NBM and carry chance
PoPs (30 to 50 percent) between late Thursday night and
Saturday, but put the focus of 60% PoPs on Friday night.
Temperatures will be warm enough to support rain throughout with
this system.
Temperatures will likely be below normal to normal Wednesday
and Thursday, and rise to above normal levels Friday and
Saturday.
