Weekend Rains Ease as Forecast Focus Turns to Late‑Week Nor'easter

Forecasters say the storm's track will decide who gets heavy rain, strong coastal winds or a rain‑to‑snow transition.

Overview

  • Showers that soaked parts of Southern New England and Central Florida faded over the weekend and skies cleared with mild, seasonable highs across much of the Northeast into Monday.
  • Breezy to gusty winds are expected early this week with gusts commonly 30–35 mph, increasing travel and outdoor discomfort.
  • Parts of the Deep South and Florida will remain much warmer early in the week with highs near 80 degrees while the Northeast stays in the 50s to low 60s.
  • A stronger cold front and developing nor'easter are tracked for Thursday–Friday and could bring widespread rain, strong winds and a sharp temperature drop, with higher elevations and northern New England at risk of a rain/snow mix depending on the storm's exact track.
  • River Flood Warnings continue along the St. Johns River in Central Florida as runoff from last week's heavy rain keeps water levels at minor to major flood stage and local impacts are likely to persist into the start of the workweek.
