May Starts Chilly as Cool Air Grips Northeast, Mid-Atlantic
Unseasonably cool weather will dominate the Northeast U.S. and Mid-Atlantic U.S. into early May, with temperatures running 10–15°F below average. Highs in cities like New York City and Washington, D.C. will stay in the 50s and 60s, while nights dip into the 40s and even 30s in parts of New England. The chill, driven by Canadian high pressure, will be paired with repeated rounds of rain, delaying any early taste of summer.
