Stormy weather to lash Northeast with rain, wind and snow at late week

By Courtney Travis, AccuWeather senior meteorologist

Published Nov 5, 2018 5:47 PM EDT | Updated Jul 1, 2019 5:04 PM EDT

Stormy weather, including more wind, rain and even some snowflakes, is likely to return to the Northeast at the end of the week.

After a soggy start to the week, drier and cooler weather as settled into the region.

All of the Northeast will be noticeably cooler on Wednesday, bringing temperatures back to near-normal levels.

Temperatures are expected to fall even more by Thursday, with interior parts of the Northeast in the 40s Farenheit for highs, and the I-95 corridor in the lower or middle 50s.

NE regional 11.7 AM

The end of the dry weather will come early on Friday morning.

After one low creates a streak of snow across the Midwest on Thursday night, it will move into the Great Lakes and combine with a strengthening low along the mid-Atlantic coast.

The combination of these two will produce wet weather for areas from the Great Lakes to the mid-Atlantic and New England coasts.

Rain is expected to spread from Ohio and North Carolina and Maryland early in the day to southern New England during the afternoon.

With all of this moisture running into a pocket of cooler air, there is the potential for some snow, especially on Friday night.

"While the I-95 corridor is expected to just see a soaking rain from this event, some snowflakes could fly in the interior Northeast and Great Lakes," said AccuWeather Meteorologist Bill Deger.

For some, these could be the first snowflakes of the season.

No matter the type of precipitation, the system will present disruptive weather for travelers. Not only will those heading to work or school see ponding on the roadways on Friday morning, but those heading home Friday evening could also be dealing with wet roads.

A heavier downpour could produce lowered visibility for drivers, and also increase any standing water on roadways.

Blustery conditions, combined with the heavier bursts of rain, will also cause the colorful leaves to fall from trees more easily. These leaves can not only collect in storm drains and lead to urban flooding, but they can also cause slick conditions on the roadways .

High school football games being played on Friday evening may also be impacted, leading to puddles on the field, and certainly slippery conditions. Fans should plan ahead to bring their rain gear.

The back side of the storm is also likely to produce chilly northwesterly winds over the Great Lakes into the start of the weekend.

While temperatures on Saturday could get stuck in the 30s and lower 40s across interior portions of the Northeast, cities along the I-95 corridor from D.C. to New York City will struggle to reach 50 degrees.

Given how warm the lakes' temperatures are now in early November, and how cool the air filtering in behind the storm will be, this drastic contrast is likely to produce some lake-effect snow bands.

"Lake-effect snow showers and squalls will be downwind of the Great Lakes in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York later Friday into early Saturday morning," said Deger.

Any snow bands off Lake Huron, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario are likely to wait until the early morning hours of Saturday; however, conditions may hold favorable long enough for several inches of snow in some communities downwind of the lakes.

With storminess and waves of cold likely to continue across the northern tier of the United States through the first half of November, additional rounds of early lake-effect snow will be possible.
