Fall Weather Arrives

Unseasonal Fall Chill and Nor'easter Bring Crisp Temperatures Across the East Coast

Autumn-like, cooler and drier air is bringing chilly mornings and below-average temperatures to parts of the East, with a nor’easter contributing to the chill in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic and below-average temperatures in Georgia. Forecasts call for weekend lows in the 50s in parts of Georgia, the Carolinas and Florida, while highs range from the 50s to 70s in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic; southwest Georgia and Fayetteville are expected to have cool mornings and milder afternoons before warmer conditions return later next week. Rain chances in the Southeast generally remain limited until later next week. In the Florida Panhandle, dry air and potentially gusty winds could raise fire danger, and rough Gulf waters may require caution. Southwestern Pennsylvania festivals are offering music, crafts, food and outdoor activities, but organizers canceled the Houston Pumpkin Festival after heavy rain made its grounds unsafe; visitors are encouraged to check event updates and weather conditions before going.
