Endless Rainy Weekends Plague Northeast Cities

The Northeast and mid-Atlantic regions have experienced rainy weekends for nearly two months due to a persistent weather pattern in the upper atmosphere. Storm systems have been crossing the region every six to eight days, resulting in continuous wet conditions. This has affected fall foliage tourism in New England. The upcoming weekend will bring more rain and even some snowflakes in high elevations. However, there are signs of hope as the Climate Prediction Center predicts near-normal precipitation amounts for the next week, indicating that the excessively wet conditions may soon come to an end.
