FORECAST DISCUSSION:
Happy Friday!
We start the day with just a few isolated sprinkles across the region, but that will gradually clear by about daybreak, and we’ll have a dry rest of the day ahead. Expect highs to warm to the lower 60s, with just a light breeze. We’ll see partly cloudy skies this afternoon.
Rain then moves in tonight and into Saturday. Expect scattered showers Saturday morning that clear up by about early afternoon. We’ll then see several dry hours during the afternoon, with highs warming into the middle 60s, and a strong breeze. More scattered rain then moves in during the evening.
For Sunday, we start the early morning with just an isolated, light shower or two. Then we’ll see lots of dry time during the daytime hours, which is good news for outdoor Easter plans! We’ll see highs in the lower 60s. Rain then moves back in Sunday evening and overnight into Monday.
We’ve got several rounds of rain and thunderstorms on tap for both Monday and Tuesday as a cold front starts to near the area. Temperatures hold steady in the middle 60s. These are both days we will be watching for the potential for a few stronger storms, and flood prone areas will want to be mindful, as we will see a decent amount of rain the next few days.
