November 13 The Aurora Showed Late Today Clearing With Gusty Winds Then Rain This Weekend
Thursday, November 13, 2025
The anticipation of another broad-based northern light show was less intense than round one. Clouds obscured the sky, but broke for Central Maryland to get an evening show. Then, at night, the best pictures I saw were from Garrett County, where the show was enhanced by the snow.

Global Kp Index
The storm reached G3 level with Kp up to 7.33. It did fail to match the night before, which is why the show was not as robust or widespread.

WEATHER TODAY
Surface Weather
Gusty winds remain as a return to near normal with milder air.
This has changed the snow to rain showers across New York State.
There is a warm-up in the middle of the nation that will build East eventually. We have one more system that will pass to our North this weekend.

Storm Forecast Saturday to Monday
This North track clipper-type system will bring in clouds on Saturday and eventually rain Saturday night into Sunday morning.
The bulk of the rain may fall overnight, then one more push of cooler air could bring some flurries on Monday.

Monday Morning
If we get flurries, this may be the chance in the northern hills.

Jet Stream Next Monday to Thursday
A break from the early chill… I see the Jet Stream shifting the ridge Eastward and building in a warm-up next week that may last into Thanksgiving for the Eastern US.

7 Day Forecast
- Gusty Winds Today And Mild
- The only rain event will mostly be Saturday night, ending Sunday morning
- I left the flurries off for now, but if we get any, it could be Monday in the northern hills

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
