Seasonal flip-flop to persist across Northeast this week

This colder air will set the stage for a much more wintry storm for the second half of the week. “The cold settling into the Ohio Valley and Northeast may allow for a mix of sleet and freezing rain for several hours from Wednesday night into Thursday night,” said AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Alan Reppert.​​​​​​​

AccuWeather Global Weather Center – February 21, 2022 – Two storms are set to sweep through the Northeast this week, bringing both a springlike and wintry feel to the region. This flip-flop in the weather pattern will take place in just a few days, leaving residents wondering what season it is.

After a chilly start on Sunday, temperatures are expected to moderate across the Northeast early this week. By Tuesday or Wednesday, some cities can expect afternoon high temperatures in the 50s and 60s. However, bright and sunny skies are not forecast to accompany this warmth.

“The warmth in place ahead of and along with this storm is likely to keep precipitation as mostly rain across the Ohio Valley and Northeast for Tuesday and Tuesday night,” said AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Alan Reppert.

Rain is forecast to arrive on Tuesday morning in locations like Pittsburgh and Buffalo, New York, but wet weather will wait until the afternoon for cities like Washington, D.C. and New York City. Dry weather is expected for the majority of the day on Tuesday in Boston, with rain arriving around the evening commute.

The air is likely to still be cold enough for some frozen precipitation to mix in across portions of northern New England and the St. Lawerence Valley in southeastern Canada.
