NEW YORK CITY – Summer and fall are splitting the week between them as an unseasonably warm stretch gives way to the coldest air of the autumn so far for the region.<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

By the numbers:<\/p>\n

The warmth will peak on Wednesday across the Northeast with temperatures expected to reach 88 degrees in Washington, D.C., 84 in Philadelphia and 80 in New York City.<\/p>\n

The unexpected return to summer-like warmth will quickly turn into a weekend cool-down with a nearly 30-degree drop. Temperatures will start to drop into the 60s and 70s on Thursday, rising slightly on Friday before falling into the 50s by Saturday.<\/p>\n

New York City: High of 53 on Saturday, 58 on SundayPhiladelphia: High of 55 on Saturday, 59 on SundayDC: High of 59 on Saturday, 61 on Sunday \"\" <\/p>\n

The sudden drop in temperatures means the region could see highs of 5 to 15 degrees below historical averages on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Gusty winds coming in behind the cold front could also bring down limbs and cause scattered power issues.<\/p>\n

Big picture view:<\/p>\n

Higher terrain in upstate New York and New England could see the season’s first light, lake-effect snow on Saturday, just days after parts of the region saw highs in the 70s and 80s.<\/p>\n

What’s next:<\/p>\n

The National Weather Service will issue any wind advisories as the front approaches on Friday.<\/p>\n
