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."
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 Vermont, 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 almanac noted that the northeast, including New England, should see storms roll in and the temperature drop as autumn goes on.
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.
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.
