Forecasters are watching a potential late week storm that could bring cold rain to much of the Northeast and wet snow in the high terrain late Thursday into Friday.
The National Weather Service in Boston says the details are still uncertain, and the forecast could change.
Quiet start to the week
Dry and seasonable weather is expected through the middle of the week, outside of a brief spot shower possible Monday.
Highs are mainly in the 50s to near 60, according to NWS Boston.
NWS Albany says showers develop tonight across eastern New York and western New England as a fast-moving disturbance approaches from the Great Lakes, with lows in the mid 30s to lower 40s.
Unsettled weather late Thursday into Friday
Unsettled weather may return late Thursday into Friday as low pressure approaches.
Precipitation type favors a cold rain for many locations, but some wet snow cannot be ruled out, especially in the high terrain.
The Weather Prediction Center map valid Friday, Nov. 13, shows rain likely across much of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, with snow and mixed precipitation possible across parts of the interior and higher elevations.
Turning colder
NWS Albany says temperatures turn colder toward the end of the week, with a potential for wintry precipitation late in the week, mainly at higher elevations. Confidence in the details is low.
The cooler air reaches the Southeast too. NWS Mobile says a stronger front on Thursday brings even colder air late in the week into next weekend.
In the Carolinas, NWS Greenville-Spartanburg says there is a 90% chance Charlotte’s high will stay below 60 on Friday, which would end its record streak of 229 straight days with a high above 60.

What to do
Check the forecast again midweek, since the track of the low will decide who sees rain and who sees snow.
If you plan to travel Thursday night or Friday in higher terrain, watch for slick roads and be ready to adjust plans.
