Overnight Monday, April 6, into Tuesday, April 7, a mix of light rain, snow, and sleet showers is expected in areas farther north, according to the National Weather Service.

Snow accumulations of 1-2 inches are expected in lower elevations and up to 5 inches in higher elevations, including the Adirondacks, Catskills, and Green and White Mountains.

AccuWeather meteorologists report that a surge of Canadian air is driving this cold front, causing temperatures to plummet by as much as 30 degrees compared to the weekend. Highs that reached the 70s and 80s on Easter will now struggle to climb out of the 40s in cities like New York, Boston, and Philadelphia.

Snow showers will persist farthest north through midweek, tapering off by Wednesday, April 8. Slippery spots are possible on untreated roads, especially during the overnight hours.

Looking ahead, a warming trend is expected to begin Friday, April 10, with temperatures rebounding to above-average levels by the weekend.
