Cold Front Ends Warm Spell With Gusts, Falling Temperatures and Mountain Ice in the Northeast

Overnight rainfall stayed light in most areas, with winter advisories persisting in northern high terrain.

Overview

  • Rain has largely moved out by daybreak in southern New England as a sharp cool-down sets in, with highs reached early and temperatures sliding through the day.
  • Northwesterly winds are widespread and strong, with frequent gusts around 30 to 40 mph and higher on the mountain slopes, making it feel colder.
  • Winter weather alerts remain in parts of Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine for freezing rain and snow, including a glaze to near a quarter-inch of ice in spots and upslope snow that could pile up to 12–18 inches on the highest peaks.
  • Fire danger is elevated in some Mid-Atlantic locations under red flag warnings as dry air and gusty winds follow the front.
  • The active pattern continues this week with a brief dry, cooler stretch before additional rain chances Tuesday and again Thursday into Friday, including the potential for a mountain wintry mix.
