First snow, coldest air in months headed for eastern US in wake of storm
Forecasters say the storm could deliver 1 to 6 inches at higher elevations and trigger flight delays as temperatures fall into the 20s and 30s.
- A developing nor'easter will sweep through the Northeast on Friday, bringing the season's first significant snowfall to higher elevations while impacting the Interstate 95 corridor with widespread rain.
- Nor'easters typically form along the East Coast with winds from the northeast and occur most commonly between September and April; this system is currently moving across the Plains today.
- Lake Placid, New York, the site of the 1980 Winter Olympics, could see close to a foot of snow by Saturday, while higher elevations in the Adirondacks and Green Mountains may receive 3 to 6 inches.
- AccuWeather meteorologist Tyler Roys explained that precipitation intensity determines whether rain changes to snow, meaning two nearby communities could experience drastically different conditions due to local temperature variations.
- Following the storm's departure, high pressure will bring a colder pattern into early next week, though forecasters expect temperatures to rebound as a late-week warmup arrives after the initial chill.
