LINCOLN RIDDLE: AccuWeather's fall
forecast has been released.
And our long-range experts say some parts of the United States
could see early season cold and snow.
PAUL PASTELOK: The area of the country that it probably
will not escape the fall without getting
some winter-like conditions is probably gonna be the Northern
Rockies, the Bitterroots, extending on
east into the Northern Plains' states.
LINCOLN RIDDLE: AccuWeather's Paul Pastelok
says a surge of cold air could come into the Central
United States this fall.
Along with computer models, Pastelok
says his team analyzes prior years
with similar weather patterns, to build their fall forecast.
Pastelok says, this year shares similarities with 2009.

PAUL PASTELOK: There was a major snowstorm
that produced 1 to 2 feet of snow
in Nebraska during that time period.
There is a good chance that we're
going to see something similar to that, a pattern change that
takes place that could produce a lot more
cold across the North-Central Plains' states
and getting back into the Northern Rockies.
LINCOLN RIDDLE: For snow lovers in the Northeast and Great
Lakes regions, Pastelok says this fall
could be a slow transition out of the warm season.
But some areas could still see some snow,
especially later in the fall.
PAUL PASTELOK: I think we can start to see some flurries,
you know, maybe in the higher elevations
as we get into very late September, October.
But lower elevations may wait until later October,
maybe November, before we start seeing
some of that activity going.
