In the Farmers' Almanac, Erie falls under the Northeast/New England forecast area region which covers Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Washington D.C.

In the Northeast/New England area, the almanac is predicting a 'thunder and zing spring.'
Just like groundhog Punxsutawney Phil predicted, the almanac says that this spring will take it's time arriving which will allow winter to linger especially across the Midwest, Great Lakes, New England and northeast regions.
This spring, the almanac says you can expect plenty of showers and thunderstorms for most of the areas.
Most areas across the United States are predicted to see a cool and stormy season.
On the water: Great Lakes water levels decline in March. Could seasonal rise be on the way?
In the Northeast/New England region, the almanac predicts that the rest of March will be 'fair and unsettled' followed by some clearing weather around March 28 through March 31.
For the rain forecast, the almanac says that May-June will see a 33-44% probability of rain.
For the month of April, the Farmers' Almanac calls for a mix of fair skies, unseasonably warm weather, cold rain, sleet, wet snow and breezy conditions. In other words, expect a normal April for Erie.
April 1-3: Fair skies, unseasonably warm.
April 4-7: Cold rain, sleet and wet snow.
April 8-11: Clearing weather, breezy.
April 12-15: Fair skies.
April 16-19: Thunderstorms, some with heavy rain followed by fair and pleasant weather.
April 20-23: Pleasant weather.
April 24-30: Heavy and wet snow followed by fair and sunny weather.
The first official day of summer begins on June 20. The Old Farmers' Almanac says that this summer will be 'warmer than normal with rain above average.'
The hottest periods are predicted to be in mid-June, early-to-mid July and then early August.
For rain probability, the months of July through November are predicted to have equal chances of precipitation.

An alligator was seen around the mid-beach area of Tybee Island Friday morning, according to the city's Facebook page. First responders searched the area on foot and with drones for several hours but were unable to track the alligator as it swam to deeper waters. While alligators can tolerate salt water for short periods of time, they are primarily freshwater animals, living in swampy area, rivers, streams lakes and ponds. If you encounter wildlife on Tybee, call 911 if you spot anything concerning.

When is the next full moon in Minnesota? July 2025's Buck Moon is coming soon
Summer is officially in full swing, and with it comes a feast of astronomical events for enthusiastic stargazers and casual observers alike. Eclipses, meteor showers and opportunities for planet viewing are among the space phenomena we can expect to see in the coming months, with July's full moon coming up next on the list. Like other full moons throughout the year, July's has a nickname, the "Buck Moon," believed to have been originally conceived by the indigenous peoples of North America. Hoping to catch a glimpse? Here's what to know. Stargazing spectacles of summer 2025: Full moons, meteor showers and eclipses July's full moon, often called the "Buck Moon," will occur on July 10, 2025. As of July 2, AccuWeather predicts it will be mostly sunny in St. Cloud on July 10. The weather website predicts a high of 83 degrees Fahrenheit with a 3% chance of rain. Temperatures are expected to drop that night to a low of 62 degrees, according to AccuWeather. The sky should be mostly clear as well. Wind is expected to blow at four miles per hour that evening, according to AccuWeather. Like other colloquial names for moon phases and astrological events, the "Buck Moon" is named after a significant natural phenomenon that happens around the time it appears full in the sky. The term likely originated with local native American tribes, according to the Farmers' Almanac. July's full moon coincides with the time during which the antlers of male deer, known as bucks, are growing after their annual shed. While they begin sprouting in spring, they are at the peak of the process during this time, growing as fast as one-fourth of an inch per day, or one-and-a-half inches per week during this period. According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, other popular nicknames for monthly full moons include: Wolf Moon (January) Snow Moon (February) Worm Moon (March) Pink Moon (April) Flower Moon (May) Strawberry Moon (June) Sturgeon Moon (August) Corn Moon (September) Hunter's Moon (October) Beaver Moon (November) Cold Moon (December) A full moon can be seen clearly with the naked eye. To see the Buck Moon, stargazers can look toward the southeast when the sun goes down. Tim Brothers, Massachusetts Institute of Technology technical Instructor and observatory manager, previously told the USA TODAY Network that, like with any case of stargazing, you can see much more clearly with a good telescope or a pair of binoculars.

When will New Hampshire get its first snow? What the Farmers' Almanac fall forecast says
It might seem early to start thinking about snow, but the northeast might see its first snow by mid to late October, the Farmers' Almanac predicts. In its extended fall forecast, the Farmers' Almanac called the upcoming season a "flirty, flurry fall." Snow will be a "regular visitor" across much of the north this fall, the Farmers' Almanac said. However, this fall is expected to bring "a little bit of everything," the almanac said, so New Englanders are encouraged to keep an eye on the weather. However, the northeast should be dry and cool when autumn begins on Sept. 22, the Farmers' Almanac said. The tail end of summer could be soggy, with thunderstorms threatening parts of New England, including New Hampshire, over Labor Day weekend, according to the almanac. It said October will bring "familiar" fall weather to the northeast, with locations at higher altitudes "flirting" with early snow. Around the end of October, those partaking in Halloween festivities might need to bundle up in jackets and scarves, according to the Farmers' Almanac. It said Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Maine, Vermont, and Connecticut could see fair skies and then showers on Oct. 31. As October rolls into November, parts of the northeast could experience some wet snow, the almanac said. Although light snow and rain could snarl holiday travel plans to and from the East Coast, the weather might clear up just in time for Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 27, according to the almanac. The Farmers' Almanac, which is a distinct publication from the Old Farmer's Almanac, has been published annually since 1818. The almanac provides long-range weather predictions, gardening tips, holiday information, and a slew of different calendars for its readers.
