3-Month Spring Weather Forecast: When Will It Warm Up?

The Old Farmer's Almanac's 2023 spring weather forecast calls for a wet start in some areas, continued cold in others and heat in the South.

ACROSS AMERICA — Winter is likely to hang on in some parts of the country well past the March 20 spring equinox, while others will see an early arrival of warm temperatures, according to The Old Farmer’s Almanac’s 2023 spring weather forecast.

In general, the forecast calls for fairly mild temperatures in most places, but people who live in the Northwest shouldn’t retire their cold-weather gear for the season.

Temperatures are expected to be below normal in those regions, and people from the mid-Atlantic to the Appalachians to the Rockies also shouldn’t be surprised by late winter blasts of cold air, the forecast said.

People living in the Upper Midwest, the Appalachians and the Mid-Atlantic should be prepared for above-normal precipitation. Rainfall is expected to be normal to above normal in many other parts of the country, including Oklahoma and Texas.
