Saturday's Nor'easter: Local flood risk, rain totals
Excessive Rainfall Outlook: It's a marginal risk for flash flooding in southern and eastern Vermont along with New Hampshire. While a couple main stem rivers could reach action stage, they will likely remain below minor flood stage. It's the smaller creeks/streams that could overflow their banks resulting in minor flooding. Drive safely, and remain extra vigilant if you have to be out and about. Rainfall Totals: The lesser totals will reside closer to the St. Lawrence River Valley. That's where up to 0.5 inch of rain is expected. Tallies quickly tick up from eastern New York to Vermont and New Hampshire. It's 1 to 2 inches for eastern New York and the Twin States with pockets of localized 2 to 3+ inch amounts; heaviest totals are likely in southern Vermont, the Upper Valley, and the Northeast Kingdom. Soggy Weekend Timeline: Our Nor'easter rolls in just after sunrise Saturday. That steady, heavy rain will arrive from south to north and will immediately start soaking the landscape with light to moderate rain along with embedded, heavier downpours. That wet weather action will carry over into the afternoon and evening before tapering to scattered showers overnight into Sunday. Saturday will be a near wash of a day. Not to mention, it will be cold and breezy so best to just hunker down at home where it's cozy and safe. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Nasty Nor'easter will make for a cold, wet weekend
Happy Friday and TGIF! We have a decent day of weather ahead, especially compared to where we're heading for Saturday. Temperatures are in the 50s/60s this morning with patchy dense fog, a leftover sprinkle, and partly to mostly cloudy skies. There's also a mild, comfy, light south breeze of about 5 to 10 mph. We'll top out in the upper 60s to middle 70s this afternoon with a mix of sun, clouds, and a leftover shower or two. Overnight into Saturday morning, we're building back in the clouds with lows in the mid 50s. Saturday will showcase a nasty Nor'easter rolling in with a steady, soaking, and at times, heavy rain. Saturday's forecast will be a near wash from sun up to sun down, especially in Vermont and New Hampshire. Temperatures will average the upper 50s to low 60s with a brisk northeast wind. Overnight into Sunday morning, we'll remain under the clouds but that steady rain will taper to scattered showers with lows in the 40s. Sunday will be the 'pick of the weekend' as it will feature lesser rain chances. It's more so some scattered showers Sunday morning before gradually drying out by late in the day. Temps will top out close to 60 with a breezy northwest wind Sunday afternoon. Early next week looks much drier, brighter, and warmer with highs back in the 70s. Rainfall totals will tally up to 0.5 inch in St. Lawrence county, New York. Elsewhere in the North Country to Vermont and New Hampshire, it's looking like a healthy 1 to 2 inches of rain with localized pockets of 3 inches from southern Vermont to the Northeast Kingdom and into New Hampshire. It's because of that heavier rainfall that there's a marginal risk for flash flooding in those aforementioned regions (smaller creek/streams will struggle but the main stem rivers should remain in check). Stay safe, vigilant, and weather aware friends! Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Weekend Nor'easter: Steady, heavy rain Saturday
First and foremost, this rain storm will not result in a washout for everyone on Saturday. However, an incoming Nor'easter will make our Saturday rather wet and much cooler than normal. Here's the latest on timing, totals, and local impacts. Wet Timeline: A cold front will scoot southeast across northern New York Friday night. That boundary will help to guide and funnel moisture into Vermont and New Hampshire by sunrise Saturday. That rain will remain steady and heavy at times across the Twin States. However, it's only periods of showers with a few dry slots for New York's North Country. The steadiest of rain will taper late Saturday before transitioning to scattered showers Sunday and leftover sprinkles next Monday. Rainfall Totals: It's up to 0.5 inch of rain for most of northern New York. Vermont and New Hampshire will tally the heaviest totals. It's an average of 1 to 2 inches for the Twin States with localized 2+ inches in central and southern New Hampshire. Local Impacts: Minor flooding will be possible along the smaller creeks/streams. Main stem rivers, such as the Otter Creek, may reach action stage which is a step below minor flood stage. A majority of main stem rivers will remain in check, but the rain will have impacts on travel. Ponding/puddling, hydroplaning risks, and lowered visibility will be likely. Allow yourself some extra time to get where you're going safely Saturday. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Central Park Breaks 131-Year Temperature Record
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Central Park was among several New York locations that hit a new record for the coldest high temperature on May 22 when a rare spring Nor'easter brought chilly weather to the Northeast. Why It Matters Nor'easters are powerful storms that happen more typical during the winter months when they bring heavy snowfall that, when coupled with strong winds, can cause blizzards. Because it occurred late in the season, snow wasn't much of a threat when the storm hit, but the Nor'easter did plunge temperatures across the Northeast until they felt more becoming of March and April. Temperatures remain chilly on Friday even as the storm moves away from the region. What to Know Central Park was among several climate sites in New York that recorded its "coldest high temperature on record for May 22" according to a post on X, formerly Twitter, by the National Weather Service's (NWS) office in New York, on Friday afternoon. Other locations within the forecast region breaking the coldest high temperature on record for May 22 include Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey, LaGuardia Airport in Queens, New York, Long Island MacArthur Airport in Islip, New York, and John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens, New York. "Yesterday, several of our climate sites recorded their coldest high temperature on record for May 22: EWR: 53°; LGA: 53°; ISP: 53°; JFK: 55° (tied). The standout was Central Park, where a high of just 51° broke the old record of 54° set way back in 1894," NWS New York wrote. Typically, Central Park high temperatures during this time of year are 73 degrees Fahrenheit. The average low is 57 degrees Fahrenheit, meaning Thursday's high temperatures were colder than the typical low temperatures for this time of year. However, Central Park did not set a record low temperature for May 22, NWS meteorologist Bill Goodman told Newsweek. Goodman added that a high of 51 degrees this late in May is "pretty unusual." Temperatures will remain cool through the weekend and into Memorial Day, AccuWeather reported. Some showers, however, could disrupt Memorial Day plans for eastern New York. When looking further into next week, Goodman said temperatures could creep above average for Central Park. A stock photo shows a rainy spring day in Central Park, New York.

It's a harbinger of a not quite so hot summer, but we will see." What Happens Next? Temperatures will creep back up to normal levels in the coming days, with average temperatures expected across New York throughout the end of the month, according to a six- to 10-day temperature outlook by the NWS Climate Prediction Center. The precipitation outlook shows an above-average chance for rain in New York during the same time frame.
