November 23 Sunny Sunday Then Rain Tuesday With A Brief Warm Up Then Cold Thanksgiving
Sunday, November 23, 2025
A cold morning with some areas of fog, but we will get the sun to dominate, allowing temps to return to seasonal levels in the mid-50s. This is good news for the Ravens’ home game; however, the next game on Thanksgiving night will be cold!
During the work week, we can expect the next rain to develop on Tuesday. It will become steady and maybe heavy at night.
On Wednesday, the showers will be scattered as temperatures surge into the 60s.
When the cold front swings through, Thanksgiving will be COLDER! In fact, the holiday will have falling temps during the afternoon and a very chilly shopping Friday with the core of the arctic air that may keep many in the region in the 30s.
I am not seeing support that maybe some flurries could fly on Friday with the cold core.
This will not last long as a warm-up will bounce back 60s for early December. There is more arctic air that is likely for much of December.
The Real Snow So Far
While there has been a lot of chatter about our early start to winter, there has been an abundance of snow in New England, with some records that may get broken.
Jay Peak, VT has 93 INCHES
- They usually get 17″ in November.
Mount Washington = 61.2″
- The record was 86.6″ in 1968 and they could get there by next weekend.
- They average 35.6″ in November.
Whiteface, NY has 24″
NWS Locations
- Syracuse, NY = 4.6″
- Buffalo, NY = 4.9″
- Erie PA = 3.3″
- North/Central PA got a dusting to 2″ this past week
- McHenry, MD at Wisp an unofficial 2″
- Canaan Valley in WV unofficially 14″ Nov 10-11 and now reporting 8″ in the last week on their site.

Surface Weather
Some areas may begin with fog, but overall sunshine will allow the chilly start to warm up back to the 50s.
We can expect the same tomorrow before the developing storm system spreads our way.

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
