Mother’s Day Weekend Weather Outlook for the Northeast

The upcoming Mother’s Day weekend looks to be a bit of a washout for the Northeast, with rain and thunderstorms expected to dampen outdoor plans. A new storm system from Canada is预计 to stall over the central Appalachians and eastern Great Lakes, bringing with it showers and drizzle that will affect the region throughout the weekend.

Wet Weather May Dampen Outdoor Plans

On Friday and Saturday, showers and thunderstorms will move across the Great Lakes region, expanding to the Ohio Valley and central Appalachians. Some of these storms may produce brief gusty winds and small hail. The mid-Atlantic and New England can expect a dry day on Saturday, but clouds may build in the afternoon.

Showers and thunderstorms will progress across the region Saturday night and linger into Mother’s Day. Much of Mother’s Day afternoon and evening may remain dry, except for a few pop-up showers in the central Appalachians and mid-Atlantic coast. Clouds and shower activity may persist throughout the day in New England.

Mother’s Day Weekend Weather Outlook for the Northeast

Cool Temperatures

Mother Nature may have a chilly surprise in store for families planning outdoor activities over the Mother’s Day weekend. Unseasonably cool temperatures will linger throughout the Northeast, with highs struggling to reach 60 degrees in many areas.

In New England and the central Appalachians, temperatures may hover in the 50s, a far cry from the average historical highs in the 60s and 70s. The mid-Atlantic region will see slightly warmer temperatures, ranging from the mid-50s to the mid-60s, but still below normal.

Next Week’s Forecast

The wet weather pattern is expected to continue into next week, as multiple weather systems roll through the Northeast from the Central states. AccuWeather meteorologists warn that showers may linger between systems due to a lack of dry air.

Residents should keep an eye on daily and hourly forecasts to catch any breaks in the rain. Outdoor plans may need to be adjusted or moved indoors, so flexibility is key.

Conclusion

While the Mother’s Day weekend weather may not be ideal for outdoor celebrations, there are still plenty of ways to show appreciation for the special women in our lives. Indoor activities, such as brunch, movies, or a cozy dinner at home, can still create lasting memories.

Stay tuned to local weather updates and plan accordingly to ensure a safe and memorable Mother’s Day weekend, even if it’s a little bit cooler than we’d like.
