November 7 Freezing Start And Clouding Up With Rain Tonight And Focus On Arctic Air Monday

Friday, November 7 2025

There has been a lot of chatter about the Arctic blast on the way next week. It will be unprecedented, but it is not here yet! You might need to scrape frost off your windshield this morning.

A different source of cold air has allowed temperatures to drop to the freezing level in Central Maryland and parts of Delmarva. NWS updated its advisories and warnings overnight.

We will have a few mild days that include more clouds this afternoon and rain tonight. Saturday will end up improving, then more rain on Sunday.

The pre-season winter blast will arrive Monday into Tuesday, bringing snow to the mountains and flurries to the metro areas.

A freeze may reach the Gulf Coast which can have negative effects on the citrus crop.

Let’s take a look:

SATURDAY

Morning Radar Snapshot

The rain will be moving away early, then expect some clearing.

Morning Temperatures

Afternoon Temperatures

Mild Afternoon: Mix of clouds and sun.

WEATHER TREND: Sunday To Tuesday

Sunday brings more rain ahead of the unprecedented arctic blast.

Very cold air will arrive Monday to open up Lake Effect Snow for the mountains. The core of the cold air arrives Tuesday and this may bring flurries to Central Maryland.

Snapshots

Sunday Morning

Rain will develop as the low-pressure system organizes ahead of the Arctic front. This day will be mild.

Monday Afternoon

Moderate to heavy snow develops in the high mountains.

A few inches may accumulate in Garrett County, MD, and nearby ski areas of PA to WV.

The upper Low drops into the Southern Appalachian Mountains.

Early Tuesday

Jet Stream:

The core of the cold air will reach the East Coast. This is unmatched intensity of cold in this location for this time of year!

Temperatures

Very cold air will look like mid-winter across the Eastern US.

Freezing temps may reach parts of the Gulf Coast, and a frost is likely in interior Florida.

Closer Look

Freezing temperatures will reach the Chesapeake Bay, and inland will drop into the 20s.

Wind Chill

This will surely feel like January.

Snow Potential

We are just beyond my 3-day window. But the Odds of getting over 1 inch to stick on the ground are shown here with the ECMWF Model Ensemble.

The high mountains are very likely to get it.

Jet Stream: Tuesday to Friday

The core of the cold air swings through Tuesday. There will be reinforcing hits through the week, but it will gradually relax.

7 Day Forecast

• Mild Temps For A Few More Days
• Rain Events: Sunday
• Next Week: Coldest Air Tuesday; Snow Flurries Will Fall Over Central Maryland.
• It will be COLDER inland, and snow accumulates on the mountains.

RESTATING MY MESSAGE ABOUT DYSLEXIA

I am aware there are some spelling and grammar typos and occasional other glitches. I take responsibility for my mistakes and even the computer glitches I may miss. I have made a few public statements over the years, but if you are new here, you may have missed it: I have dyslexia and found out during my second year at Cornell University. It didn’t stop me from getting my meteorology degree and being the first to get the AMS CBM in the Baltimore/Washington region. One of my professors told me that I had made it that far without knowing and to not let it be a crutch going forward. That was Mark Wysocki, and he was absolutely correct! I do miss my mistakes in my own proofreading. The autocorrect spell check on my computer sometimes does an injustice to make it worse. I can also make mistakes in forecasting. No one is perfect at predicting the future. All of the maps and information are accurate. The ‘wordy’ stuff can get sticky.  There has been no editor who can check my work while writing and to have it ready to send out in a newsworthy timeline. Barbara Werner is a member of the web team that helps me maintain this site. She has taken it upon herself to edit typos when she is available. That could be AFTER you read this. I accept this and perhaps proves what you read is really from me… It’s part of my charm. #FITF
