Spring Cold Front Brings Sunday Showers and a Brief Chill Across the East

Forecasters warn a short blast of cold behind the front could freeze early plantings.

Overview

  • A fast-moving cold front, arriving late Saturday into Sunday, will spread light rain across the region with about a half-inch typical.
  • Temperatures drop quickly behind the front, with highs holding in the 40s and 50s on Sunday and the coldest readings early Monday.
  • The National Weather Service issued a Freeze Watch for parts of western Pennsylvania for late Sunday night into Monday morning, putting tender plants at risk.
  • Severe weather risk stays low with only a few thunderstorms possible, but New England faces a wet, breezy Sunday and a colder, windy Marathon Monday in Boston.
  • After the brief cold snap, high pressure returns dry weather and a steady warmup to seasonable 60s and 70s by mid to late week.
