Nor’easter ahead: Here’s who has the best chance of accumulating snow.

A nor’easter is expected to develop, and that could bring out the first accumulating snow of the season for parts of the interior Northeast and Great Lakes snowbelts. It will also usher in some first frosts and freezes for parts of the East and Southeast.
The best chance of accumulating wet snow will be in hills and mountain locations of the interior Northeast and some Great Lake snowbelt locations, including:
- The Green and White Mountains of Vermont and New Hampshire
- The Berkshires of western Massachusetts
- The Adirondacks and Catskills of upstate New York
- The Appalachians from West Virginia to western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee
- Parts of western upper Michigan, especially away from the immediate lakeshore
We also can't rule out at least a few flakes of wet snow, at times, in other Great Lake snowbelts as far south as northern Indiana, northeast Ohio and southwest New York, and in parts of the Ohio Valley in brief showers.
If traveling in these areas from Thursday through Saturday, be alert for any slushy accumulation on roads, especially at night. Winds will also be quite gusty, up to 30 mph possible.
Chillier air will be pulled southward not just into the Midwest and Northeast, but also deep into the Southeast beginning Thursday. By this weekend, the first freeze of the season could happen as far south as much of the Carolinas, northern and central Georgia and northern and central Alabama.
Daytime highs will be stuck in the 40s over much of the Midwest and Northeast Friday through the weekend, while most of the Carolinas and Tennessee Valley won't see highs climb out of the 50s. This stubborn chilly area is expected to hang around the East through early next week.
