On average, temperatures will be slashed by 15-20 degrees late next week, instead of the 30- to 40-degree hit much of the region took in recent days.Temperature swings of this nature are fairly common during March and on through the spring months of April and May. This is because the strengthening sun begins to heat up the Southern states, while the jet stream remains strong and cold air and snow cover linger over Canada.The weather pattern over the North Central and Northeastern states is often a tug of war in the spring."An even higher surge of temperatures is possible during the second week of March, depending on how far to the north the jet stream temporarily retreats to," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Dave Dombek added.It is not uncommon for the jet stream to swing way to the north and then dip way to the south every few days and so during March."It's the weather version of March madness," Dombek said.People should expect more big temperature swings as March progresses, so don't pack away the winter coats just yet.Keep checking back on AccuWeather.com and stay tuned to the AccuWeather Network on DirecTV, Frontier and Verizon Fios.
