East Coast Sees First Fall Frost and Rain
The East Coast is experiencing its first fall frost of October, accompanied by light rain and cloudy skies. A low-pressure system formed over the mid-Atlantic region, bringing showers to states like Virginia, New Jersey, and Delaware, and even reaching New York City later on Sunday. This weather pattern follows a gloomy Sunday that set the stage for a sharp temperature drop. A cold front trailing the system is pushing cooler air into the region, with morning lows dipping into the 40s °F (4–9 °C) and daytime highs struggling to reach the mid-60s °F (15–18 °C). Clear skies and calm winds are expected to create frost pockets, particularly in low-lying interior areas. Temperatures are forecasted to remain slightly below average throughout the week, influenced by El Niño conditions.
