AccuWeather: Are Fall Temps Here to Stay?

Brrrr, it was a bit cool this morning, wasn’t it?

Despite it being mid-September, the Northeast is seeing temperatures that we normally don’t see until mid-October, according to weather forecasters at AccuWeather.com.

And these temperatures are expected to continue for the rest of the week, with temperatures running in the mid-to-low- 60s during the day and dropping down into the mid-30s and low 40s in the evening.

There will be a break in the chilly temps toward the weekend, due to a disturbance cutting across the Great Lakes.

“Warming to above-normal temperatures is possible next week as we enter fall,” said AccuWeather.com Senior Long Range Meteorologist Jack Boston.

Expect temperatures in the mid-60s to mid-70s during the day, according to the extended forcast.

Warmer temps could continue into early next month, according to forecasters.

“There may be a brief cool shot late this month but we may see another milder spell in early October,” he said.

That warm spell will be nice after the early frost some parts of the Northeast are seeing.

“Any place that has already had their first frost, such as parts of upstate New York, interior New England, and northwestern Pennsylvania, could see an Indian Summer,” added Boston.
