Although spring has officially begun, AccuWeather meteorologists say the flip of the calendar will fail to translate to an extended stretch of mild weather for some of the Northeastern states, with a see-saw temperature pattern forecast into the end of March.

The new season officially sprung on Sunday, March 20, at 11:33 a.m. EDT, but not all residents of the Northeast were feeling spring warmth. Clouds and rain showers were holding temperatures in the 40s F across the interior to close out the weekend, with breezy conditions pushing AccuWeather RealFeel® Temperatures into the 30s at times. Just the day before, highs were in the 60s and 70s.
