AccuWeather meteorologists say a volatile weather pattern could bring the risk of summery severe thunderstorms to wintertime snowflakes in just a few days’ time, as a potent cold front crashes through the region.
The weekend started off with the first of two cool spells for the region. Afternoon high temperatures on Saturday were 5-10 degrees Fahrenheit below normal for the beginning of October, with cities like Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., reaching only the lower 60s. Farther north, places like New York City, Syracuse, New York and Burlington, Vermont, spent the day in the 40s and 50s.
