Here’s who has best chance of accumulating snow

Key Points:

• A nor’easter is expected to bring the first accumulating snow of the season to parts of the interior Northeast and Great Lakes snowbelts from Thursday through Saturday, with wet snow likely in hilly and mountainous areas such as the Green and White Mountains, Berkshires, Adirondacks, Catskills, and Appalachians.
• Rain and snow showers will affect the Northeast, Great Lakes, and parts of the Ohio Valley, with gusty winds up to 30 mph and potential slushy road conditions, especially at night, urging travelers to exercise caution.
• The storm will also usher in the first frosts and freezes of the season for much of the East and Southeast by the weekend, potentially impacting sensitive outdoor plants in the Carolinas, Georgia, and Alabama.
• Daytime highs will remain chilly, stuck in the 40s across much of the Midwest and Northeast and in the 50s in the Carolinas and Tennessee Valley, with the cool weather persisting through early next week.
• This nor’easter is expected to be a relatively low-impact event due to its moderate strength, with minor coastal flooding risks and no widespread flash flooding anticipated along the Interstate 95 corridor.
