According to AccuWeather, highs will soar 15-25 degrees above historical averages, making it feel more like spring than early March.
Cities such as New York, Philadelphia, and Boston are likely to experience their warmest weather since last fall, with temperatures climbing into the 60s and even 70s in some areas.
Sunday, March 8 will start mostly cloudy before clearing later in the day, with highs reaching the upper 50s to low 60s in most spots. Calm winds will accompany the warm weather.
The warming trend will continue Monday, March 9, with sunny skies and temperatures in the low- to mid-60s, according to the National Weather Service. By Tuesday, March 10, highs could hit the mid-60s and even reach 70 or above in some areas.
Rain and unsettled conditions return on Wednesday, March 11, with mild temperatures sticking around.
Cooler weather and a 50-50 chance of rain are expected by Thursday, March 12.
The rapid warmup poses a risk of ice jams and flooding as melting snow and rising river levels could cause localized issues. Areas in New York, Vermont, and New Hampshire are at the highest risk for these conditions.
AccuWeather notes that some spots could see the warmest temperatures since October, while New York City is expected to climb to at least the mid-60s, its warmest day since early November.
Daylight Saving Time starts early Sunday morning. At 2 a.m., clocks will move ahead one hour to 3 a.m., trimming an hour from the overnight stretch and extending evening daylight.
