Cold Front Could Hit the Northeast US This Week Similar to a November Weather

A cold front has been forecasted to hit the Northeast US region later this week, with temperatures similar to November weather or during the last phase of the current fall season.

A Nor'easter will wreak havoc over the Northeast only until Wednesday, October 5.

Temperatures will get back to normal, typical of October values as the coastal storm moves out to the Atlantic Ocean by Wednesday evening and Thursday, October 6.

Residents will get to experience a brief warm weather afterwards before experiencing cold weather like those of November, according to AccuWeather.

The end of the week should pave the way for areas to dry out following the cooler, wind, and wet weather conditions in the region over the last several days.

However, AccuWeather meteorologists are saying that the public should not be complacent with the relatively nice weather since the coldest air of the fall season is approaching.

People in the region will only get to feel the brief warmup only until Thursday.

Nevertheless, a cold front will arrive in some portions of the interior Northeast and bring rainfall and temperatures comparable to the late fall season, according to AccuWeather Meteorologist Alyssa Smithmyer.

Behind the front, temperatures will significantly decline to levels not seen in many areas in the past spring season.

Cooler weather will hit major US cities such as Omaha, Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago, Detroit, Cincinnati, and Buffalo.

Smithmyer added that daytime highs are expected to shift from the upper 60s to the lower 70s on Thursday to the 50s by Friday. Cold air could reportedly reach even Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C., as well.

Coastal Low

Similar to the AccuWeather forecast, the National Weather Service (NWS) - Weather Prediction Center (WPC) also highlighted the temporary improvement of weather conditions across the Northeast as the coastal low or upper-level low moves further offshore.

The WPC outlook on Wednesday said many parts in the Northeast will see the first sunlight sine last week due to the said Nor'easter.

As clouds clear ahead, temperatures are said to rebound close to normal average in the next 24 hours before Friday.

While separate weather events, the moving Nor'easter and arriving cold front comes after Hurricane Ian barreled toward the Southeast US last week, making landfall in southwest Florida on September 28, bringing powerful hurricane-force winds and causing widespread flooding due to heavy rain.

What is a Cold Front?

A cold weather front is defined as the "changeover region" where a mass of cold air is replacing a warmer air mass.

Cold fronts normally navigates from northwest to southeast.

The air behind the cold air mass is colder and drier than the air in front of it.

Temperatures can drop over 15 degrees within an hour when a cold front passes through, according to the site Climate & Weather.
