Nor’easter rain persists along I-95 with snow in the Northeast interior

A nor’easter is bringing 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. Rain is falling across much of the I-95 corridor while snow is falling in parts of the Interior Northeast.

Albany, Binghamton, Scranton, and Syracuse were among the cities with their first snow of the season, so far. Up to 12 inches of heavy, wet snow was reported in two upstate New York locations between Albany and Syracuse late Thursday night.

• Friday: Rain, some wind lingers in southern New England, the NYC metro and New Jersey. Wet snow lingers in the interior Northeast, especially over hills and mountains from New England to eastern Pennsylvania. Lake-effect rain and snow showers will continue in the western Great Lakes. Some rain or wet snow showers are possible from the Ohio Valley, with the greatest chance of snow again in the Appalachians.
• Saturday: Lingering lake-effect rain and snow showers, with some snow showers continuing in the Appalachians and parts of upstate New York and northern New England. Gusty north to northwest winds will persist across the Northeast.

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. Frost and freeze alerts are posted in parts of Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, and northern Georgia through Saturday morning as lows dip into the upper 20s and lower 30s.
