Despite the incredible warmth that surged across much of the East throughout the month of March, a little taste of winter will return on Sunday night.
A quick shot of snow will fall across northern sections of New England and southern Maine where the air will be just cold enough to produce frozen precipitation.
In areas farther south, snow will mix with rain as the air will be slightly warmer.
A fast-moving clipper system will race from southern Ontario into the mid-Atlantic on Sunday afternoon and night. As the storm pushes eastward, cooler air will be drawn in and precipitation will fall as snow.
Since the snow will be falling at night, the opportunity exists for at least some small accumulations. If the snow would have been falling during the day, the strong late March and early April sun would have made it difficult for much accumulation to occur.
Residents in northern New England who will be traveling on Sunday night should do so with caution and watch out for any slick spots that develop on roadways.
The snow will be quick to end as the storm system races off the coast and into the Atlantic Ocean.
Beyond Sunday night, chances for a little snow will continue through next week.
According to Expert Senior Meteorologist Alex Sosnowski, "a dip in the jet stream will continue to send bouts of chilly air and spotty snow into the Northeast through next week."
