Early-Week Warmup Gives Way to Midweek Front Bringing Cold and Light Snow

Forecasts point to a short mild spell early in the week followed by a Wednesday front that reintroduces colder air with light wintry precipitation.

Overview

  • A recent front cleared the region, leaving cooler, drier air, lingering clouds, and blustery conditions, with the National Weather Service citing westerly gusts up to about 38 mph around Baltimore and single‑digit to teen wind chills in parts of New England.
  • Monday–Tuesday turn milder in many areas, with highs near 40 in Wisconsin, into the 40s across New England, and into the 50s and possibly near 60 in the Plains, before colder air returns midweek.
  • Another front arriving Wednesday is expected to bring a rain‑to‑snow transition in several regions: mixed showers in New Hampshire, rain or snow chances in the Mid‑Atlantic, snow showers in Wisconsin, and an arctic front in western New York with accumulating snow Wednesday night into Thursday.
  • Late week trends favor colder temperatures with highs commonly in the 30s and 40s and lows in the teens and 20s in colder zones, while the Gulf Coast stays mostly cloudy with repeated cold snaps and Northshore freezes early week and again Friday.
  • Forecasters note an active pattern continues into late week and next weekend, with model hints of possible coastal development near New England still uncertain and subject to change.
