While a nor'easter delivered windswept rains to southern New England, two famous mountains to the north saw snowfall from the late-season storm.

An unusual May nor’easter soaked New England on Thursday and threatened to bring snow to higher elevations as the states prepared for the Memorial Day holiday weekend.

The NWS forecasts that this week's nor'easter will start in New Hampshire with scattered rain showers late Wednesday night. Widespread, soaking rain will cover the state throughout Thursday and Friday, with over one inch of rain accumulation likely in most areas.

More chilly weather could be on the way. Thursday night, three to five inches of snow could fall, accompanied by winds gusting as high as 85 miles per hour, according to the Mount Washington Observatory’s forecast.

The heaviest rain of the storm-system looks to arrive closer towards midday with low pressure strengthening offshore driving bands of heavy rain into Southern New England throughout the afternoon. High rainfall rates may lead to instances of poor drainage flooding and is expected to lead to limited visibility at times on the roadways.

A late-season nor'easter intensified south of New England on Thursday, as windswept rain and severe winds slam the region.

When I write these daily forecasts, my workflow first takes me to the various models, then I aggregate a lot of it and come up with what I think is the best forecast over the next few days. When we have a storm coming in, I like to look at the different parameters, from precipitation type to total amounts and, of course, wind and temperature.
