Forget the summer heat for a second—the Farmers' Almanac just dropped its Fall 2025 forecast, and it's the news we've all been waiting for.
For those of you in the northern Rockies and Montana, you could be seeing snow as early as the beginning of October. The Great Lakes and the Northeast aren't far behind, with predictions of snow starting to fly by mid-to-late October. By the time November rolls around, winter is expected to be making its presence known across the northern U.S.
Here’s a breakdown of what to expect this fall:
September: Get ready for a dynamic start to the season. While the West is forecasted to have clearer skies, the Northeast and Southeast could be in for some thunderstorms. Keep an eye on the Atlantic, as there's a hurricane threat in early September. As the month winds down, that glorious cooler air will start to make its way south, especially over the Rockies and Great Lakes.
October: This is when things really start to get good. The Northeast and Great Lakes will be flirting with those first beautiful snowflakes, particularly in the higher elevations. The middle of the month could bring some stormy weather across the country, but hey, that moisture has to come from somewhere, right? If you're in the North, you'll want to have your beanies and flannels ready for Halloween.
November: Winter is coming in hot (or, rather, cold). Snow will become a more common sight in the Rockies, Plains, and Great Lakes. Even the Northeast could see some wet snow. For everyone planning to get some early-season turns in around Thanksgiving, it looks like you might be in luck. While there's a chance of some light snow and rain for travelers in the central and eastern U.S., clear skies are expected to roll in just in time for the holiday.
The North Central states and the interior Northeast are predicted to see the coldest temperatures, especially from late October into November. The wettest regions are expected to be the Great Lakes, the Northeast, and parts of the Southeast.
So, while we love a good summer, we're ready for the seasons to change. Keep an eye on the forecast, do your snow dances, and get ready for what's shaping up to be an epic start to the winter season.
