People in the eastern half of the country will enjoy another day of warm temperatures.
Sunday was the warmest day of the year, so far, for some across the eastern half of the U.S. The mid-Atlantic states and Carolinas hold on to some of that warmth Monday, while the thermometer teeter-totters again for the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley into midweek.
The East barely hangs on to the spring warmth while the northern Plains and the Mississippi Valley drop 20-30 degrees below their average highs.
Tulips, crocuses and daffodils must be so confused at they covered in record setting snowfall in Binghamton, New York less than a week ago then Sunday is 76 degrees and sunny. Hopefully the high temperature, usually seen in late June will melt some snow before the next cold snap hits.
