Weather Whiplash: Record Fall Heat Across Eastern U.S. to Plunge into Weekend Chill and Mountain Snow (Video)

A major warm-up followed by a bone-chilling cooldown across much of the central and eastern U.S. will create a “weather whiplash” effect this week, one that could even end with light lake-effect snow across parts of New York and New England.

Light, lake-effect snow could fly Saturday, following high temperatures in the 70s and even 80s in places Tuesday. AccuWeather experts forecast high temperatures to plunge 30 degrees by the weekend, bringing the region its coldest air of the season.

“Any snow that falls won’t amount to much and will only fall at the highest elevations this weekend. Mountain cabins and lakes in New York and northern Vermont could get snowflakes that can coat the grass,” said AccuWeather expert meteorologist Peyton Simmers. “Lake-effect rain is more likely for cities like Erie and Buffalo who won’t quite get cold enough to see their first snow.”

Faith Based Events

Across the Northeast Saturday, highs will range from the 30s in the higher terrain of New York and New England to the 50s across the rest of the Northeast, 5-15 degrees below the historical average. On Saturday night, lows could fall into the 20s across northern New York, Vermont and New Hampshire.

Midweek Warm-Up Will Impact Much of the Central and Eastern U.S.

During the week, unseasonably warm weather is expected to expand across the central and eastern United States through Thursday, with high temperatures reaching the 90s and threatening longstanding daily records.

AccuWeather forecast that daily high temperature records dating back more than 125-years could be challenged or broken in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Birmingham, Alabama, St. Louis, Missouri, among others.
