The front is moving into the region Saturday, April 25, bringing rain from west to east throughout the day. The heaviest rain is expected Saturday evening into early Sunday morning, April 26. Many areas are forecast to receive around an inch of precipitation.
Temperatures, which reached the 70s and 60s on Friday, April 24, will plummet into the 40s and 50s by Saturday afternoon, with cooler air lingering into Sunday.
Here's what to expect through the weekend and into early next week:
Sunday, April 26: Rain will taper off by the afternoon, but temperatures will remain well below seasonal averages, with highs in the 40s and 50s. Coastal areas may experience lingering drizzle and raw onshore winds.
Monday, April 27: Skies will clear, bringing plenty of sunshine and more comfortable conditions, with highs rebounding into the 50s and 60s.
The cooler, damp conditions may disrupt outdoor plans and travel across the region’s major corridors. Farmers in northern areas, including parts of upstate New York and New England, are also facing frost risks during the early mornings as temperatures drop near or below freezing.
The weather pattern is being driven by a dip in the jet stream, which is funneling chilly air and Atlantic moisture into the region.
AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Tyler Roys said, “The brief warmup in the Northeast is being cut short by a cold front that will send temperatures plunging from the 70s and 80s into the 40s and 50s.”
Residents are advised to prepare for the quick transition from mild spring weather to chilly, damp conditions.
