Warmer weather in store for the Northeast in the wake of coastal storm

The first coastal storm of the year along the East coast will be responsible for bringing a chilly rain and the first accumulating snowfall of the season for the high terrain of New England and will also play a role in roller coasterlike temperature swings that are expected across the Northeast in the coming days.

As the coastal storm lifts off into Canada Saturday afternoon into Saturday night, calm and chilly conditions will remain in place across the Northeast as an area of high pressure settles into the region. Widespread lows in the 30s Saturday night will encompass the entire interior Northeast, and even some locales along the Interstate-95 corridor.

Cities along and east of Interstate 95, including Philadelphia, New York City and Boston will likely experience low temperatures just high enough in the lower 40s, limiting the potential for any frosty conditions.

For those that are not quite ready for the cold weather to stick around for good, there is good news in the forecast as temperatures begin to trend upward into the day on Sunday.
