Nor'easter In Mother's Day Weekend Forecast For Pennsylvania

Sorry, mom. It looks like the weather will not be ideal this Mother's Day 2017. According to forecasters at the Weather Channel, a Mother's Day weekend Nor'easter with heavy, wind-driven rain is in the forecast for Pennsylvania.

It's May, so this potential nor'easter won't come with snow. In fact, snow isn't a requirement for such a storm, the Weather Channel explains.

"Nor'easters are simply stronger areas of low pressure along the Eastern Seaboard of the U.S. featuring winds typically from the northeast. They're usually strongest from fall through early spring, but can happen any time of the year," according to the Weather Channel.

This weekend, low pressure should form somewhere off the Northeast coast, forecasters predict. The storm will bring heavy rain and wind. It will also be colder than normal and in general "a raw weekend" in the Northeast.

Temperatures will be in the 50s.

The National Weather Service says rain could clear by Sunday afternoon, so hopefully mom will get some sunshine on her special day.
