A snowfall, significant in some places, is expected across portions of the northeast this weekend as Old Man Winter struggles to maintain a final grasp on the weather before spring conditions arrive in earnest.
A slow-moving coastal low will create stormy weather conditions with widespread precipitation chances and gusty winds from the Mid-Atlantic to the Northeast this weekend. Heavy rain across the Mid-Atlantic today could result in isolated instances of flash flooding, especially in urban and poor drainage areas. As precipitation expands into the Northeast on Saturday, cooler temperatures will allow for a transition to wintry precipitation types. Higher elevations in the Northeast can expect precipitation to fall mainly as snow with accumulations of up to a few inches possible. Elsewhere in the Northeast, a mix of wintry precipitation and rain is expected. Precipitation will taper off on Sunday as the low moves towards the Canadian Maritimes, but gusty conditions may linger along the coast.
This is expected to be the last winter weather event of the ’24-’25 season for the northeast.
