The quick-hitting high pressure system affecting us today will depart by tonight. This will allow a warm front, associated with a clipper system moving into the Great Lakes, to lift into the region. This clipper system will pass north of the region on Sunday, dragging a cold front across our area. High pressure will then build down into the Plains on Monday, and pass off the Mid-Atlantic coast on Tuesday. Weak low pressure will affect the area Tuesday night into Wednesday. Brief high pressure will return for Thursday. A cold front is then forecast to move through the region later in the week. $$ ANZ450-161000- Coastal waters from Sandy Hook to Manasquan Inlet NJ out 20 nm- 402 PM EST Sat Nov 15 2025 ...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE TONIGHT... ...GALE WARNING IN EFFECT FROM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON... .TONIGHT...SW winds 15 to 20 kt.
