The harsh cold and biting winds, more typical of January, that gripped the Northeast over the weekend and at the beginning of the new week will soon be a thing of the past, as topsy-turvy spring conditions will yield some warmer weather and perhaps severe thunderstorms during the last days of March, AccuWeather meteorologists say.
After many days of consistent warmth earlier in March, temperatures crashed to 10-20 degrees below average from Saturday to Sunday and were bottoming out on Monday. Some spots even saw a dusting of snow or snow flurries. Typical highs range from nearly 40 F over the northern tier of New England to the mid-60s in southeastern Virginia during late March.
