Showers Sweep Mid-Atlantic and Northeast Tonight as Cold Front Sets Up Windy, Colder Sunday

Forecasters flag localized mountain icing in northern New England alongside a sharp regional temperature swing.

Overview

  • Scattered evening showers are moving through the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast with generally light totals, most commonly a few hundredths to a few tenths of an inch.
  • A vigorous cold front will clear the coast by early Sunday, bringing widespread northwest to west wind gusts near 30–40 mph and falling temperatures through the day.
  • Higher elevations of northern New England face a wintry mix with freezing rain and ice glaze up to roughly a quarter inch, plus light mountain snow, creating slick travel early Sunday.
  • Parts of Northeast Ohio carry a slim risk for an isolated strong to severe storm this evening, with brief gusts approaching 60 mph possible.
  • The South stays warm and largely rain-free under high pressure, sustaining drought conditions as highs run in the upper 70s to low 80s into early next week.
