Nor’easter Floods I-95 Corridor as Interior Snow Varies by Elevation
WHO:
The Weather Channel - Meteorologists Rob Shackelford and Jonathan Erdman wrote about the nor’easter; Shackelford is a meteorologist and climate scientist at weather.com, and Erdman is a senior meteorologist who has covered national and international weather since 1996.
The Weather Channel - A National Weather Service damage survey was expected to determine whether damage in Burlington County, New Jersey, resulted from a tornado.
WSTM - The Central New York forecast called for rain changing to snow, with accumulation varying by elevation.
WHAT:
The Weather Channel - The nor’easter was forecast to keep daytime highs in the 40s across much of the Midwest and Northeast, while much of the Carolinas and Tennessee Valley would remain in the 50s.
The Weather Channel - The chilly conditions were expected to persist across the East into early the following week.
WSTM - After snow tapered off from north to south, clouds were expected to break for intervals of sunshine before thickening again.
WSTM - Thin bands of snow, rain and graupel were forecast to form over Wayne County and parts of the Western Finger Lakes, then move east toward Central New York.
NBC News - A departing storm brought more than a foot of snow to parts of New York State.
NBC News - The weekend forecast called for the season’s first widespread freeze event across the United States, affecting millions.
The Weather Channel - Rain fell across much of the I-95 corridor as snow fell in parts of the Interior Northeast. Albany, Binghamton, Scranton and Syracuse had received their first snow of the season so far.
The Weather Channel - Up to 12 inches of heavy, wet snow was reported at two upstate New York locations between Albany and Syracuse.
The Weather Channel - Thursday afternoon severe weather brought reports of damaging winds, large hail and a tornado near Wilmington, Delaware. Another tornado apparently touched down in Burlington County, New Jersey.
The Weather Channel - Additional accumulating wet snow was forecast through Saturday in interior Northeast hills and mountains and some Great Lakes snowbelts. Gusts could reach 30 mph.
The Weather Channel - The first freeze of the season could reach much of the Carolinas and northern and central Georgia and Alabama. Frost and freeze alerts covered parts of Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama and northern Georgia, with lows in the upper 20s and lower 30s.
WSTM - Snow was forecast to stick more readily on lawns, trees, vehicles, mailboxes, power lines and decks than on roads; road accumulation was more likely at higher elevations and possibly on lower-elevation overpasses.
NY Post - Up to a foot of snow could blanket the highest elevations of the Adirondacks and Vermont’s Green Mountains.
WHERE:
The Weather Channel - Forecast snow areas included Vermont and New Hampshire’s Green and White Mountains, the Berkshires, the Adirondacks and Catskills, and the Appalachians from West Virginia to western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee.
The Weather Channel - Wet snow was also possible in Great Lakes snowbelts as far south as northern Indiana, northeast Ohio and southwest New York, and in parts of the Ohio Valley.
WSTM - Snow showers were forecast over Wayne County and parts of the Western Finger Lakes, moving east toward Central New York.
WHEN:
NY Post - The heaviest snowfall was expected Friday afternoon and evening.
The Weather Channel - Rain and snow were forecast to linger Friday; lake-effect showers and some Appalachian snow showers could continue Saturday. Frost and freeze alerts ran through Saturday morning.
WSTM - The article’s video forecast was identified as NBC3 News Live at 5:30 PM Thursday November 12th, 2026.
WHY:
The Weather Channel - The nor’easter is an East Coast low-pressure area that produces winds from the northeast. The storm was not expected to be high impact because the low was forecast to be relatively weak and the pressure difference with high pressure over Canada was not large.
HOW:
The Weather Channel - Drivers in areas with possible slushy road accumulations were advised to slow down and leave extra distance, particularly at night and on bridges and overpasses.
The Weather Channel - People with sensitive potted plants in freeze-alert areas were advised to bring them inside.
WSTM - Road snow accumulation was uncertain because rain would precede snow, lower elevations might not reach 32 degrees, and less precipitation was expected in northern, northwestern and western Central New York than in southern and southeastern areas.
The Weather Channel - Coastal rain was not expected to cause widespread flash flooding; onshore winds were expected to produce mainly minor coastal flooding at high tide.
