Sunday freeze ahead for Northeast as temperature roller coaster begins March

Old man winter makes a brutal return Sunday when temperatures will plummet back into the 30s after a week of springlike temperatures for most of the country.

BOSTON – Much of the U.S. has been enjoying a brief warmup as springlike temperatures were felt across the nation this week, but for millions in the Northeast and New England, old man winter will make a brutal return Sunday when those same places will feel a 25-30 degree temperature drop.

It'll lead to a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde performance from Mother Nature this weekend. Warm temperatures stick around Saturday, with many cities along the East Coast, like New York City and Washington near or above 60 degrees.

But it’s back to the winter chill just as meteorological spring arrives.

As the nation’s next weather system makes its way across the region, cold air will be pulled back in from the north. On Sunday, millions along the I-95 corridor will only see highs into the low 30s, with morning lows in the 20s. 

The cold air sticks around Monday for most of the region.

However, good things come to those who wait.

The FOX Forecast Center said that as we start looking into next week’s forecast, computer forecast models are showing a temperature rebound.

Most of the U.S. could see temperatures bounce back to near average during the first full week of March.
