Well, astronomical spring officially arrives this Friday, and for more than 120 million

people in the Midwest and the Northeast, it should begin to feel like it.

As the temperature roller coaster ride in these regions continues with all its twists

and turns, cold and warm air will trade places multiple times across the Midwest and the

Northeast in the coming weeks, a pattern typical of spring.

The next rebound in temperatures is already underway in parts of the Midwest and will spread

deportions of the Northeast later on this week into the weekend as the edge of a massive

heat dome in the Southwest expands.

In the wake of the snow storm that dumped anywhere between one to three feet of snow on parts

of the upper Midwest and delivered a new cold blast of air, temperatures failed to climb

out of the teens in Minneapolis on Monday and the 20s in Chicago and Detroit on Tuesday.

A couple of nuisance clipper storms will affect parts of the upper Midwest and interior

Northeast into the end of the week.

Here's our forecast to trend upward across the region into Saturday, reaching the 70s

in Minneapolis and Chicago and near 60 in Detroit.

The high in Minneapolis on Saturday may challenge a record set back in 1938.

Father South in Cincinnati, the high was only 26 on Tuesday, nearly 20 degrees below the

average and Nashville temperatures struggled to top 40 on Tuesday compared to the historical

average of 63.

High temps in Cincinnati will trend upward into the 70s by Friday on this weekend and

in Nashville temperatures this weekend are projected to feel more like mid-summer reaching

well into the 80s.

Hies on both weekend days in the country music capital may challenge records set back in

1907.

Father to the Northeast, the warm up may run into obstacles such as stubborn, chilly air

lingering over Eastern Canada.

Along with clouds and areas of rain and in some locations the cold waters of the North

Atlantic.

However, with a favorable shift in the breeze for a few hours warmer air could reach the

mid-Atlantic and New England coasts for a bit of time this weekend.

In DC, high temperatures will climb into the 60s on Friday and 70s on Saturday and may

flirt with 80 on Sunday depending on sunshine and whether a breeze off the chilly Potomac

interferes.

And New York City following the coldest day of the week on Wednesday with highs in the

30s temperatures are forecast to rise into the 50s on Friday may hit 60 Saturday and

could climb well into the 60s on Sunday despite some clouds and a few hours of rain farther

north in Boston.

The warm up will be tempered by lingering chilly air clouds, spotty rain and the cold

Atlantic as mentioned previously temperatures will rebound to near 50 on Friday but will

tend to be no higher than the 50s for both days of the weekend there in Boston.

Later this weekend and the early next week another shift in the jet stream will allow a fresh

surge of colder air to spill into the Midwest and the Northeast.

This will also cause the heat dome in the Southwest to shrink a bit.

While this air mass may not be as cold as some recent Canadian intrusions, it will mark

the end of the warming trend in the Midwest and the Northeast and should trim building

heat across parts of the plains.

Additional back and forth swings between warm and chilly air will continue into April,

especially across the Northeast, the Midwest and the interior southeast.

That's all for now.
