Rain from the coastal storm is forecast to hold off until late Monday or Monday night in eastern Massachusetts, where the 126th running of the Boston Marathon is scheduled to take place during the morning hours on Patriots Day.
AccuWeather Global Weather Center – April 15, 2022 – It’s been nearly a month since the first day of spring, but don’t tell that to Old Man Winter. AccuWeather meteorologists say there will be multiple opportunities for snow to fall and even accumulate in parts of the Northeast through the middle of next week.
Spring is often a tug-of-war between winter and summer, but many might think snow is usually a thing of the past by the middle of April in much of the Northeast. However, that is often not the case as evidenced by the upcoming weather pattern, which will follow several days of warm weather that brought the return of 70-degree temperatures for some.
Snowflakes are typically seen across the Appalachians in most Aprils, and there usually tends to be at least a small accumulation of snow every two to three years in the central and southern portions of the mountain chain, according to AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Dave Dombek. Dombek added that snow can fall and accumulate multiple times during the fourth month of the year in interior locations such as northern New York and northern New England.
“Even as far to the south as the North Carolina mountains, it tends to flake every April at some point and probably snows an inch or two every few years,” AccuWeather Lead Meteorologist Dan Pydynowski said.
