Spring Arrives Amid Another Round of Wintry Storms Across Midwest to Northeast

As meteorological spring begins on March 1, several storms will bring snow, ice and rain from the Midwest to the Northeast through mid‑next week, affecting about 120 million people. Arctic air will surge south, creating a broad wintry pattern with snow in parts of the Upper Midwest and central Midwest, while a larger Tue–Wed storm could push a wintry mix farther east and trigger urban flooding as melts advance. Travel could be slick, with fog and possible ice jams as rain and melting snow raise water levels in cities.
