Almost right on cue, a temperature warming trend will commence during the first week of spring across much of the eastern United States ahead of an influx of wet weather, AccuWeather meteorologists say.
Spring officially begins at 5:24 p.m. EDT Monday as the sun’s direct rays pass over the equator and continue their northward journey. The sun’s rays this week will be as strong as that of mid-September and those heading outdoors during periods of sunny conditions will experience weather that is comfortable to most individuals during the midday and afternoon hours.
