The time frame for the storm is Monday, Nov. 30 into Tuesday, Dec. 1.

The days leading up to the arrival of the system will be dry with temperatures continuing to be above normal through the weekend with daily highs ranging from the low to upper 50s.

It will remain fairly cloudy on Black Friday, Nov. 27, but with no precipitation, according to the National Weather Service.
