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.

While there is still some uncertainty about the projected track of the storm, rain, heavy at times, is expected throughout the day on Monday.

Peak wind gusts during the storm are expected to be between 45 and 55 miles per hour with 35 to 45 mph gusts farther inland, according to AccuWeather. (See image above.)
