Overview
- A coastal nor'easter on Friday, Nov. 13 produced heavy rain, gusty winds and mountain wet snow across the I‑95 corridor and New England, with radar‑indicated tornado warnings reported in parts of New Jersey and Queens.
- A Pacific storm arriving Friday is delivering heavy rain to Northern California, dangerous surf along the coast and 8–12 inches of snow possible over Sierra passes that will impair travel.
- Colder northerly winds behind these systems are expected to bring the season’s first widespread freeze and pockets of frost from the southern Plains into the coastal Carolinas over the Nov. 14–15 weekend.
- Forecasters are monitoring a potential Gulf/coastal low for Sunday night into Monday that could drop 1–4 inches of rain across parts of Southeast Texas and the Gulf Coast with a localized flood and small severe‑storm threat.
- Meteorologists say a strong Pacific jet and an El Niño signal support multiple additional storm rounds over the next 10 days, model guidance remains uncertain, and residents should follow local NWS updates for changing flood, surf and snowfall risks.
