First Snowfall Expected in Northeast Amid Cold Snap

First Snowfall Expected in Northeast Amid Cold Snap

The Northeast is bracing for its first snowfall of the season later this week, as a cold snap spreads across the eastern U.S. A significant dip in the jet stream is driving cold air from the Canadian border to the Gulf Coast, with temperatures forecast to drop 20–25°F (11–14°C) below average. Overnight feels-like temperatures are expected to approach or fall below freezing in cities such as Chicago and Atlanta, while daytime highs will remain in the mid-30s to 40s°F (1–4°C). A storm system developing over the Midwest on Wednesday is predicted to strengthen and move toward the Northeast, bringing potential snowfall to higher elevations and interior areas like upstate New York, New Hampshire, and Vermont. Coastal cities along the I-95 corridor, including Boston, New York, and Philadelphia, are more likely to experience cold rain.
