[font size=3]The warm winter season is giving way to an even warmer early spring, with record temps spreading throughout the U.S. east of the Rocky Mountains this week. Records are likely to fall from Minneapolis to Maine and points southward starting today and lasting through at least the end of this week, possibly putting an end to the ski season in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.
Here's a breakdown of the unusual warmth, which is more typical of May than March.
Northeast
In New York City, temperatures reached 71°F on Monday, tying a record dating way back to 1890. Albany also broke a daily record that had stood since 1890 when the temperature hit 69°F.
Boston, MA also reached 71°F, breaking the previous record for the date, which was established 110 years ago in 1902. Record highs were also broken or tied in parts of Connecticut, New Jersey, and Vermont.
Temperature outlook for the next two weeks. Credit: NOAA/CPC.
