The Weather Channel • • nation
Key Points:
- A nor’easter is currently bringing the first accumulating snow of the season to parts of the interior Northeast and Great Lakes snowbelts, with up to 12 inches reported in some upstate New York locations between Albany and Syracuse.
- The storm has also caused severe weather in the Northeast, including damaging winds, large hail, and tornadoes near Wilmington, Delaware, and possibly in Burlington County, New Jersey.
- Rain and snow showers are expected to continue through Friday and Saturday, especially in hilly and mountainous areas of the interior Northeast, Great Lakes snowbelts, and the Appalachians, with gusty winds up to 30 mph.
- The nor’easter is bringing chillier air southward, leading to the first frosts and freezes of the season across parts of the Southeast, including the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi, with frost and freeze alerts in effect.
- This nor’easter is not expected to be a high-impact storm due to its relatively weak low pressure and minimal pressure difference with Canadian high pressure, resulting in minor coastal flooding and no widespread flash flooding along the I-95 corridor.
