Highlights:
- Pleasant close to the weekend
- Rainy open to the work week
- Turning colder with rain and snow late week
Sunshine Gives Way To Rain…The weekend will end on a pleasant note as weak high pressure provides a variably cloudy sky today. That early-April sunshine will help temperatures top out in the lower 60s this afternoon.
Clouds will increase tonight and showers will develop during the overnight period. We’ll add a little instability to the mix by afternoon and introduce thunderstorms into the forecast Monday afternoon and evening. This storm system will then exit just as quickly as it arrives Monday night and help set up a pleasant Tuesday.
Eyes will then shift to a stronger storm system that will bring widespread showers and thunderstorms Wednesday, with locally heavy rain a good bet. As the storm wraps up over the Great Lakes region late week, colder air will spill into the state on gusty northwesterly winds. Backlash, wind-whipped, rain showers will transition to wet snow showers Thursday into Friday as colder air settles in. The good news here is that the weekend will get off to a nice start…after a cold beginning Saturday morning.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 2.00″ 2.50″ with locally heavier totals
