Wet, Windy Weekend Kicks Off a Chillier Stretch for the Northeast

The Northeast is bracing for a wet and windy weekend. A new infusion of colder temperatures will also support the development of snow showers across some of the lower elevations by next week. This is what you need to know about the blustery weather pattern that will have some staying power.

Chilly Air and More Moisture Headed to the Northeastern U.S.

The mercury is on a gradual downward trajectory heading into the weekend across the Northeast. The cool and wet weather this weekend will carry over to next week. Forecasters are warning that next week could see even more widespread rain and the chance of snow showers. While this is a normal weather pattern for November, it may feel like quite a shock to residents who enjoyed unseasonable warmth and dry conditions throughout most of October.

Several fronts will push across the region through the middle of November. Unlike the stagnant weather that dominated the month of October, the first few weeks of November will feature rapidly changing conditions thanks to the series of cold fronts and storms circulating high in the atmosphere.

The first cooldown is pushing into the Northeast this weekend. Storms that marked the end of the work week will linger in some places on Saturday and Sunday. Residents will want to check the hourly forecast in their area if heading out for college football games and other outdoor activities.

The influx of cooler temperatures will cause some of the rain showers across the higher elevations of upstate New York, Vermont, and New Hampshire to mix with wet snow at times. Winds will also whip up around the strengthening storm, bringing the real-feel readings down even more. These winds will also strip the rest of the leaves still clinging to the trees.
