NORTHEAST, US - As November settles in, residents across the Great Lakes and Northeast are bracing for a blustery, rain-soaked stretch defined by one storm after another. AccuWeather expects up to four systems to move through the region this week, each bringing a mix of rain, wind, and even early-season snow to higher elevations.
The first system’s cold front has already stirred gusts over 40mph across Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, while a midweek storm promises to follow quickly on its heels, pulling down cold Canadian air and sending temperatures tumbling several degrees below seasonal averages. Snow is likely for parts of upstate New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine, with minor accumulations possible in elevated areas like the Berkshires and Catskills.
A separate storm tracking northeastward along the shoreline is also bringing a brief push of showers from far northeastern North Carolina and eastern Virginia through Cape Cod, Massachusetts, according to the source. Richmond, Virginia; New York City; Hartford, Connecticut; and Boston also experienced a few showers throughout the evening hours on Monday.
By late week, another storm will sweep in, bringing a final round of rain and gusty winds, potentially up to 60mph in open terrain. Despite the inconvenience, meteorologists note that the moisture could help ease ongoing drought conditions in several areas. Between brief lulls of calm, the week ahead will feel like a fast-moving sampler of winter’s arrival.
