Nor’easter Brings First Snow to Northeast & Great Lakes
A developing nor’easter is expected to bring the season’s first accumulating snow to parts of the Northeast and Great Lakes later this week. According to AccuWeather, the storm will strengthen as it approaches the Atlantic Coast, bringing rain and mountain snow from Thursday night through Saturday. Precipitation will begin as rain in most areas on Thursday or Friday, with cooling within the storm allowing snow to develop over elevated terrain. AccuWeather forecasts one to three inches of snow for parts of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, areas downwind of Lake Michigan, and higher elevations from New York to West Virginia. Portions of northern New England could also see snow accumulation. Heavier snowfall of three to six inches is expected in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, the Adirondacks, and the Green Mountains of Vermont. Rain is forecast for cities like Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, New York City, and Boston, with wet snow potentially mixing in for northern and western suburbs of New York and Boston.
