Spring will begin on Sunday, March 20, at 10:30 a.m. CDT, but Old Man Winter will squeeze in one more snowfall across portions of the central United States before winter officially ends.

A rainstorm is likely to end with accumulating snow across a narrow corridor of the Plains and Midwest, including from central Kansas to northern Michigan, from Thursday night to early Saturday. Much of the snow will melt as it falls on roads since the blast of winter weather will follow days of warmth across the region. However, there can still be areas of slushy and slippery travel, AccuWeather meteorologists caution.
