On October 1st, 2025, the National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a range of cold weather alerts across the Northeast region of the United States. A dramatic drop in temperatures is expected to impact Maine, New Hampshire, New York, and Vermont over the next two nights, with the NWS warning of the potential for significant damage.
Freeze warnings, the most severe alert, have been put in place for parts of New Hampshire and New York, where temperatures could dip as low as the upper 20s. Additionally, frost advisories have been issued for wide swaths of Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont, cautioning residents of the threat to crops, sensitive plants, and outdoor plumbing.
According to NWS meteorologist Derek Schroeter, the upcoming cold snap will see temperatures running 7 to 10 degrees below normal for the affected areas.

As the early fall chill moves through the region, the NWS offices have urged people to monitor their local forecasts and take necessary precautions to protect their property and vegetation. The cold weather is expected to persist through Wednesday and Thursday before a warming trend arrives by the end of the week.
