Could This Northeast Storm Bring the Season's First Snow?
A strengthening storm is expected to bring rain to major Northeast cities and wet snow to higher elevations from Thursday night through Saturday. Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, New York City and Boston are likely to see rain, while mountain areas above 2,000 feet could receive a slushy coating to several inches of snow. The highest ridges in West Virginia, northern Pennsylvania, the Adirondacks and the Green and White Mountains may see heavier accumulations, increasing the risk of broken tree limbs and isolated power outages. Rain, fog and low clouds could also disrupt flights. Despite strengthening near the coast, major nor'easter impacts are not expected.
