A change in the weather pattern will turn off arctic air invasions to allow the March sun to go to work over much of the Central and Northeastern United States next week.
While the official arrival of spring is a couple of weeks away, the winter weather is going to break soon.
The weather pattern next week has the potential to bring the warmest weather since early January to many areas.
According to AccuWeather.com Meteorologist Mark Paquette, "We expect mild Pacific air to flow from west to east across the nation next week."
The west to east flow will keep arctic air locked up over central Canada.
"Compared to what people have been through this February, the weather next week should feel much more comfortable from the Plains to the East," Paquette said.
While the extensive snow cover and ice on area streams and rivers will remain a concern for flooding and ice jams moving forward through March, a significant amount of snow cover will be lost. Ice will begin to break up and move on the streams. Any storm coming along with drenching rain will have to be watched closely.
