Cold Eases in the Northeast as Springlike Warmth Builds Into the Weekend

Forecasters say a brief cold snap will give way to springlike readings with light, fast‑moving showers starting Friday night.

Overview

  • Overnight lows remain in the upper teens to low 20s as gusts that peaked 60–80 mph earlier in the week have fallen near 30 mph and continue to diminish.
  • Temperatures moderate Thursday and Friday, then reach the 50s to 60s this weekend across much of the region, aligning with the vernal equinox at 10:46 a.m. Friday.
  • A clipper and weak fronts bring spotty showers Friday night with additional light, scattered rain at times Saturday and late Sunday, but forecasters do not expect a washout.
  • Rivers remain elevated from recent rain and snowmelt; the Taunton River in Massachusetts is near flood stage under a flood warning, with minor low‑lying impacts possible.
  • Guidance points to a cooldown early next week as a front pushes through, knocking highs back into the 40s and flipping some late‑Sunday rain to wet snow in parts of the interior.
