Cold Air and a Developing Nor'easter Reach the Eastern United States This Week, with at Least 1 Inch of Snow Most Likely Thursday to Saturday across Higher Ground in New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine, while New York City Sees Mainly Rain
Washington — Forecasts from the National Weather Service Weather Prediction Center on November 9 and 10 show a deep dip in the jet stream sending Canadian cold air into the eastern United States, with temperatures dropping sharply by late Wednesday and Thursday. The Weather Channel expects daytime highs to plunge about 20 degrees Fahrenheit from Chicago to Atlanta between Wednesday and Friday.
A developing storm system will migrate from the northern Plains into the Appalachians, intensifying and bringing high winds to much of the East by Thursday morning. Where the storm meets the cold air, rain could turn to wintry precipitation, and the upper Great Lakes could see wet snow by Thursday morning.
The Weather Prediction Center map shows at least 1 inch of snow most likely between Thursday and Saturday across large parts of New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and a narrow band of eastern West Virginia, with accumulation most likely at higher elevations. By Thursday night, a nor'easter may form off the Eastern Seaboard, bringing a wintry mix or snow to the Mid-Atlantic and New England over the weekend.
Coastal cities will see mainly rain. The National Weather Service forecast for New York City calls for rain on Thursday with a high near 59 degrees Fahrenheit and a low around 45, and a high near 47 on Friday, with temperatures remaining above freezing. Forecasters note that models still disagree on the storm speed and track, so snowfall totals and locations remain uncertain, and later updates are as issued by the National Weather Service.
