Fourth Nor’easter this month to arrive on first day of spring

The first day of spring could bring another mix of wintry showers this week, making it the fourth Nor’easter this month.

The potential snow and rain storm is predicted to arrive on Tuesday and continue through midweek – with anywhere between one to six inches of snow and rain throughout the Tri-State area and beyond.

Forecasters say the precipitation may be a dusting or heavy snowfall. The Nor’easter likely won’t be the last of its kind for the season.

‘Spring starts tomorrow, but snow is in the forecast,’ the New York National Weather Service said on Twitter Monday morning.

WBZ Chief Meteorologist Eric Fischer said on Sunday the fourth Nor’easter won’t be as ‘intense’ as the last few, but temperatures will be chilly enough for more snow to arrive.

Temperatures are expected to be in the mid-30’s to 40’s on Tuesday and Wednesday during the day. By Friday, temperatures will rise to the upper 40’s.
