VALID 12Z SUN NOV 02 2025 - 12Z TUE NOV 04 2025
...UNSETTLED WEATHER TO PERSIST ACROSS THE NORTHWEST AND ROCKIES
INTO SUNDAY, WITH STRONG WINDS LIKELY IN MONTANA...
...TEMPERATURES TO MODERATE ACROSS THE
PLAINS/MIDWEST/VIRGINIA/NORTH CAROLINA AFTER A FROSTY/FREEZING
START ON SUNDAY...
THE GENERAL FLOW PATTERN BECOMES INCREASINGLY ZONAL, OR WEST-TO
EAST ORIENTED, WITH TIME WHICH WILL LEAD TO MILDER/MORE SEASONABLE
CONDITIONS ACROSS THE PLAINS, MIDWEST, AND PORTIONS OF THE
APPALACHIANS BY TUESDAY.
THE SYSTEM HELPING TO USHER IN THIS MILDER PATTERN FROM THE PLAINS
EASTWARD IS PRODUCING UNSETTLED WEATHER FROM THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
TO THE NORTHERN ROCKIES, AS A COLD FRONT AND AN ACCOMPANYING PLUME
OF MOISTURE MOVE ONSHORE. HIGH WIND WARNINGS REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR
PORTIONS OF MONTANA ON SUNDAY DUE TO THIS SYSTEM. A BRIEF PERIOD
OF DRIER, MORE SETTLED WEATHER IS EXPECTED BY LATE SUNDAY, BEFORE
ANOTHER SYSTEM BRINGS PRECIPITATION BACK INTO THE REGION MONDAY
INTO TUESDAY. WELL-ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED ACROSS
THE SOUTHWEST AND GREAT BASIN, TO THE SOUTH OF THE FRONT. THE
COMBINATION OF WIND AND DRYNESS IS EXPECTED TO LEAD TO ELEVATED
FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ON SUNDAY ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE HIGH
PLAINS OF MONTANA (WHERE RED FLAG WARNINGS ARE IN EFFECT),
WYOMING, COLORADO, AND NEBRASKA AND THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS ON
MONDAY. THE DOWNSLOPED WINDS ALSO BRINGS WARMTH, WHICH COULD LEAD
TO RECORD HIGHS ON SUNDAY IN AND NEAR EASTERN COLORADO.
AHEAD OF THE FRONT, HIGH PRESSURE AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL DOMINATE
MUCH OF THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN U.S., WHERE TEMPERATURES WILL
MODERATE SUNDAY AFTER A FROSTY/FREEZING START ACROSS THE PORTIONS
OF THE MIDWEST, PLAINS, NORTH CAROLINA, AND SOUTHEAST VIRGINIA.
THE PACIFIC COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO MOVE STEADILY EASTWARD,
BRINGING RAIN TO THE GREAT LAKES REGION LATE SUNDAY INTO EARLY
MONDAY, BEFORE ADVANCING INTO THE NORTHEAST BY LATE MONDAY. TO
THE SOUTH, A SLOW-MOVING UPPER-LEVEL SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO BRING
SHOWERS AND OCCASIONAL THUNDERSTORMS TO THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU AND
SOUTHEAST ON SUNDAY AND THEN SPREAD RAIN UP PORTIONS OF THE
MID-ATLANTIC COAST ON MONDAY MORNING BEFORE MOISTURE FROM THE
SYSTEM IS TAPPED BY THE INCOMING PACIFIC FRONT ACROSS NEW YORK AND
NEW ENGLAND LATE MONDAY. IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT'S PASSAGE, SOME
SHOWERS WITH SNOW AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE
NORTHERN APPALACHIANS EARLY ON TUESDAY.
