Today will be warm and windy, with high temperatures climbing about ten degrees above normal in the lower 80s. South winds will gust to 30-35 mph. We’ll be staying dry today, but showers and storms will be possible late tonight, mainly after midnight.
A stationary front will get close enough to our area overnight into Saturday morning with occasional showers and storms. The severe weather threat will stay low, but a few storms could be strong with gusty winds and some hail possible. Therefore, you may want to keep some rain gear handy for Saturday, and if you have outdoor plans, you may want an alternate indoor plan just in case.
Easter Sunday is looking warm and mostly dry with highs in the lower 80s. A cold front will bring scattered showers and storms overnight Sunday into early Monday morning. The severe threat remains low. Rainfall totals of around an inch possible, so no significant flooding is expected.
Temperatures are looking to stay really pleasant through next week in the 70s. Showers could linger through Monday morning, then drying out Monday afternoon. Tuesday and Wednesday look nice and dry for now, then unsettled weather could return by late in our next workweek.
Have a fantastic Friday and a happy Easter Weekend! – Meteorologist Ben Peine
