the approaching system, expected to impact the tri-state area beginning Thursday, November 14, 2025, will usher in not only the possibility of snow but also dangerously cold wind chills. While the initial precipitation will likely be rain, a rapid temperature drop could transition it to snow, especially in the higher elevations adn northern suburbs. The chance of accumulating snowfall remains uncertain, but the frigid air mass itself poses risks of hypothermia and frozen pipes.
