A late-season cold wave is bringing snowfall back to parts of the Northeastern United States, reversing recent spring-like conditions across the region.
A fast-moving clipper system moved through the Northeast on Monday, bringing light snowfall to areas of upstate New York, with Syracuse already reporting snowfall, according to the Fox Forecast Center.
Other cities including Buffalo, Albany and Burlington could see one to three inches of snowfall, while Boston and New York City are expected to see light rain.
The system is also pulling cold air into the region, with temperatures expected to remain below average through midweek from the Great Lakes to New England.
“While it won’t be unusually cold for this time of year, Monday’s temperatures will fall closer to seasonal averages with highs between the 40s and 50s,” the Fox Forecast Center said.
Forecasters say snowfall will remain relatively light, although heavier snowfall is possible near the Great Lakes and in higher elevations such as the Adirondacks.
Meteorologists say most areas typically see the last measurable snowfall in early to mid-April, making this system a notable late-season event.
Due to active cold wave in the coming days, cold conditions are expected to persist in the wider area.
