The Day The Temperature Rose 103 Degrees

Low pressure along a cold front is helping to spread snow and rain across the Northeast as we begin the month of April. This will be followed by a brief blast of near record-low temperatures in parts of the East.

Areas from upstate New York into northern New England could see slushy accumulations of wet snow on Thursday. Light snow showers have also developed in parts of the Great Lakes region, including in the Cleveland metro area.

Rain will exit during the daytime in coastal areas of the Northeast, followed by blustery conditions.

Temperatures Could Approach Daily Record Lows

April will also start rudely for a much broader area of the East as a plunge of colder air moves in behind the snowmaker.

Low temperatures will be 10 to 20 degrees below average from the Ohio Valley and mid-Atlantic into the Southeast by Friday morning. Some locations could approach daily record lows for April 2.

Binghamton, New York, Asheville and Wilmington, North Carolina; and Columbia, South Carolina, are a few of the cities that could come within a few degrees of daily record lows on Friday morning.

But this chilly blast won't stick around for long. After a cold Saturday morning, temperatures will be on a gradual warming trend in the East through the weekend.
