Here's An Early Look At Fall Forecast For MA

While there is plenty of summer still to go, a look ahead to autumn shows the potential for an unusual trend for New England.

Massachusetts residents can expect cooler-than-normal temperatures and above-average rainfall this fall, according to a new seasonal forecast from The Old Farmer's Almanac.

The fall forecast calls for cooler and wetter conditions than usual this fall for the Northeast. Below-average temperatures are forecast, along with an uptick in precipitation over traditional averages.

That trend emphasized northern and western New England as most likely to see more precipitation, with cool and dry weather expected across much of eastern and southern New England.

Across the country, the Almanac expects warmer-than-normal temperatures across much of the nation's interior, including the northern Plains, Heartland and Deep South. Cooler conditions are forecast along the Pacific Coast and across much of the eastern United States.

Rainfall is expected to be below normal across much of the country. Wetter-than-usual conditions are forecast along parts of the West Coast, in the central and northern Rockies, in parts of Texas, southern Florida and the Northeast.

The Almanac's long-range forecasts identify broad temperature and precipitation trends and are not intended to predict the weather on specific days.

Meteorological fall begins Sept. 1 and runs through Nov. 30. Astronomical fall begins with the autumnal equinox on Sept. 22.
