Overview
- Wind advisories in coastal Maine called for 40–50 mph gusts early Thursday as the main wind event moved through, with National Weather Service peak reports earlier reaching the 50s to low 60s mph in parts of the Northeast.
- Coastal rain transitioned to accumulating mountain snow, with the White Mountains forecast to top five inches and slick high-terrain travel possible into Thursday morning.
- A fast-moving clipper is forecast to sweep the Midwest and southern Great Lakes Saturday into Sunday, bringing rain that could change to snow with slushy accumulations in parts of southern Wisconsin and nearby areas.
- Lake-effect snow chances increase behind the clipper, including along the U.P. and far northern Door County, as colder northwest winds arrive Sunday into Monday.
- Forecasters expect the coldest air of the season for many Monday and Tuesday with flurries in some Great Lakes zones and a first frost or freeze risk in portions of the Southeast, followed by a moderation in temperatures later next week.
