"WeatherSpring 2026 is expected to arrive unevenly across the United States, with lingering cold and late-season snow in northern regions while early warmth and drought concerns develop farther south, according to long-range forecasts from AccuWeather. AccuWeather meteorologists say the season will be marked by sharp regional contrasts, with winter holding on across parts of the Northeast, Midwest, and northern Plains well into spring, even as the southern half of the country transitions rapidly toward heat and dryness."
"Forecasters expect a slow and uneven shift to springlike conditions from the northern Rockies through the Northeast, particularly during March and early April. AccuWeather long-range expert Paul Pastelok said periodic warm spells will occur, but they are likely to be short-lived as cold air repeatedly returns. The persistence of cold temperatures across the Plains, Midwest, and Great Lakes region will keep the risk of snow in play during the first half of spring, along with late-season frost."
Spring 2026 will arrive unevenly across the United States, with lingering cold and late-season snow in northern regions and rapid warmth in the southern half. Cold air will repeatedly return across the northern Rockies, Plains, Midwest, Great Lakes and Northeast, keeping late-season snow and frost risks that could delay planting and affect agriculture, with consistent springlike conditions possibly not establishing until May in many areas. The southern United States will transition quickly toward heat and dryness, elevating drought and fire concerns. The Northwest will warm more slowly, with rapid April snowmelt raising localized flooding risk along rivers and streams.
