Cold Front Ends Warm Spell, Driving a Windy, Colder Sunday Across the East

Gusty northwest winds will be the main impact Sunday, with a sharp temperature drop following overnight showers.

Overview

  • Showers arrive Saturday night from the Great Lakes to the Mid-Atlantic and New England, then a fast-moving front sweeps through early Sunday with clearing in many areas by afternoon.
  • Forecasters expect widespread sustained winds near 15–25 mph on Sunday with frequent gusts of 30–40 mph and a localized risk of stronger gusts near 60 mph in parts of northeast Ohio.
  • Rainfall will be light in much of Pennsylvania with a few hundredths to about 0.20 inches, while southern New England, including the Boston area, is forecast for roughly 0.25–0.50 inches.
  • Interior northern New England faces a wintry mix with glazing up to about a quarter inch of ice plus 1–3 inches of mountain snow, creating slick travel in higher elevations.
  • Temperatures fall markedly after Saturday’s unseasonable warmth, with many locations in the 40s on Sunday and a blustery, cooler start to the new week.
