Brief Warmup Early Week, Then Midweek Rain-To-Snow and Sharp Cooldown

Forecasters note uncertainty over a potential New England nor’easter late week.

Overview

  • After a windy Sunday, conditions turn milder Monday and Tuesday with highs widely in the 40s to 50s and diminishing gusts.
  • A midweek front ushers in colder air Wednesday, with rain changing to snow and the potential for accumulations Wednesday night into Thursday in parts of the Midwest and Northeast.
  • Temperatures fall quickly behind the front, with many spots stuck in the 20s and 30s late week and periods of snow showers, including some lake-effect near the Great Lakes.
  • New England remains a forecast wildcard, with models split on whether an offshore low organizes into a nor’easter later this week.
  • Meteorologists flag breezy conditions, blowing snow and slick roads during the midweek changeover, with colder air firmly in place by Thursday.
