Spring Makes a Presence and Easter Weekend Outlook

 Not exactly the nicest view on our Mercyhealth Skycam, but at least the showers are now out of the area.  There are still some foggy spots across the Stateline, but these will clear up by 10am.  We keep cloudy skies heading through the afternoon, but luckily we'll still see some warm temperatures around 53° this afternoon.



This high pressure system will move in as we progress through the afternoon.  It'll gradually decrease our cloud cover, bringing us our best chances for sunshine once we get into the evening before sundown.  The high will move in late evening, clearing our skies for the night, which will cool us off pretty quickly heading into the overnight.  Lows will be around 33°.


That high pressure system will be a bigger benefit for us tomorrow, as it'll create this slot of dry air between the low to the east and a low to the northwest.  This dry slot will allow for beatuiful, blue skies on Wednesday, and all the sunshine will warm us to 60°, our first 60° day of Spring!!  Definitely plan some outdoor activities, because Wednesday's going to be great.



After that high dies down late Wednesday night, we'll have another low pressure system form in the southern plains and track towards our area.  This will bring us our next round of rain, which will be Thursday afternoon.  We're not expecting any heavy rain showers, just some light rain. 



As for Easter Weekend, we'll have cool, dry air move in from the north, causing temperatures to cool to the mid 40's for the weekend.  Even though it'll be a little cooler, we'll get lots of sunshine for all of Easter Weekend, which will allow great conditions for Easter egg hunting and all the other outdoor activities.
