When Will Winter End In MA? Here’s When To Expect Spring

MASSACHUSETTS — A new forecast offers hope for a warm spring in Massacusetts, where residents are still recovering from a colossal winter storm that brought heavy snow, crippling ice and subzero windchills to an area stretching from Texas to Maine.

The Old Farmers Almanac's 2026 spring forecast comes amid warnings of another significant winter storm this weekend that could affect much of the East Coast.

But let's look ahead to spring, which officially begins with the vernal equinox on Friday, March 20.

The Old Farmer’s Almanac outlook suggests the weather in Massachusetts during April and May will be warmer and drier than usual.

Temperatures will be warmer than average, especially in May, where they could be up to 3 degrees above normal.

Precipitation is expected to be below average in both April and May with no significant snowfall forecast.

The Almanac predicts warmer-than-normal temperatures across most of the country. Temperatures that are closer to or below seasonal averages are expected in Parts of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and areas of Montana and Colorado.

Most of the country will also be drier than normal, with wetter conditions expected in Upper Alaska, Texas and Oklahoma, the Northern Appalachians, the High Plains, the Upper Midwest, and the Intermountain region.

The Almanac says it uses a "unique formula" to make its predictions, consulting solar science, climatology and meteorology.

A Coastal Flood Advisory remained in effect through Monday's midday high tide after this weekend's storm was mostly a miss from a significant snow perspective.

The advisory was set to expire at 2 p.m. on Monday.

The National Weather Service was forecasting a mostly clear and cold week with highs near freezing each day and lows in the teens and single digits.

The next chance for snow is Friday night, when the NWS said there is a 50 percent chance of snow, with a 30 percent chance of snow as more arctic air drains in for the weekend.
