Quick Summary

Cold air is forecast to cover a large portion of the eastern U.S., dropping temperatures 20 to 25 degrees below average from Wednesday through the weekend. Major cities like Chicago and Atlanta will experience overnight temperatures near or below freezing, with daytime highs only reaching the mid-30s to 40s. Additionally, parts of the Northeast could see their first snowfall of the season, particularly at higher elevations in states such as upstate New York, New Hampshire, and Vermont. The exact impact on coastal areas from the Mid-Atlantic to New England is uncertain due to a potential second storm system forming offshore.

Story summary

A nor'easter could bring the first snow of the season to tens of millions of Americans this week, with impacts expected from central states to New England. Brandon Buckingham, an AccuWeather meteorologist, predicts that places like Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and cities in upstate New York such as Syracuse and Binghamton may see their first snowflakes. The storm is forecasted to affect over 110 million people in the Northeast, with temperatures dropping to around 30 degrees Fahrenheit (−1 degrees Celsius) during the day and into the 20s Fahrenheit (−6.6 degrees Celsius) at night. While minor disruptions are anticipated, snow accumulation is likely limited to higher elevation areas like the Poconos, Catskills, and Berkshires due to variable conditions outside these regions.
