First Widespread Freeze Grips Northeast as Forecasters Eye Weekend Coastal Storm

Tropical Storm Jerry intensifies over the Atlantic with a projected path near the Leeward Islands, then east of Bermuda.

Overview

  • Freeze warnings and frost advisories are in effect from Pennsylvania to New England for Thursday night into Friday, with some areas expecting a hard freeze and the end of the growing season.
  • Forecast guidance points to a coastal low forming off the Carolinas this weekend with potential Sunday–Tuesday impacts including rain, strong gusts and coastal high‑tide flooding, though track and intensity remain uncertain.
  • South Florida faces elevated rain coverage through Friday with localized flooding along the I‑95 corridor and a coastal flood watch on the Treasure Coast, followed by lower humidity and drier weather from Sunday.
  • Houston and Southeast Texas will see a dry front bring low humidity and gusty northeasterly winds Thursday, prompting a moderate to high fire risk as drought expands and more county burn bans are expected.
  • South‑Central Texas turns less humid with cooler mornings in the 60s through the weekend, but afternoons stay hot near or above 90 degrees with little to no rain expected.
