After a strong storm system swept through the region overnight, unseasonably cold air and snow showers will pivot across the region on April Fools' Day Friday, April 1, AccuWeather.com meteorologists say.

Snow squalls are likely during the day on Friday in interior portions of the Northeast.

"Brief, but intense snowfall within these squalls can rapidly reduce visibility and lead to dangerous driving conditions," the National Weather Service said.

Morning showers that lingered following a the storm have tapered off from west to east Friday morning. The rest of the day will be most cloudy with a high temperature in the mid 50s. 

But wind speeds between 10 and 15 miles per hour and gusts up to 25 miles per hour will make it feel colder. (See the image above.)
