Snow showers Monday morning, seasonable temperatures into the week

 

As we head into another Sunday and now into our first full week of April conditions continue to stay consistent as they have over the past few days. Today will once again be seasonable temperature wise as we'll stay in the low 50's with more sunshine than the days before! With the combination of high pressure and weak upper-level winds, today will be a pleasant day for early April!

Heading into tomorrow though a cold front will pass through late tonight and into tomorrow morning where temperatures are expected to drop into the upper 20's or low 30's. Along this front, moisture will pool together creating the chance for some snow showers and mixed precipitation into the morning tomorrow. We'll gradually clear through the day but snowy/icy conditions in the morning may make things a little tricky during the early commute.

Snow showers will arrive in the late overnight hours and into the early morning hours of tomorrow as the cold front moves overhead. Precipitation is expected to start out as a mixed mode with some rain showers and snow showers possible as the front moves in helping cool down temperatures. After the front passes though, colder air will allow for water droplets to freeze easier which will allow mainly snow showers to develop into the afternoon.

Any snow shower that does come through isn't expected to accumulate too much, however slick spots may be possible on roadways along with reduced visibility at times.

The first of the showers will entire the state line around 4-5 a.m. as mainly scattered showers. During the morning just ahead of the front surface temperatures will be just above freezing so some of this may start out as ice or rain.

This front will be quickly moving south through the morning with continued showers along the front. These showers will be scattered through the morning though so some locations may see snow and others may not see any precipitation at all!

Behind the cold front, with a little bit of lift and moisture still leftover a few snow showers may develop into the late morning and early afternoon. These showers would mainly contain snow or possible graupel as temperatures will remain cooler behind the cold front. Once again accumulation is expected to be low, however areas that do have a shower that moves over tomorrow may see some snow on surfaces, but this will quickly melt into the afternoon!

The good news is that cooler temperatures aren't expected to stick around long! As we move into the later portions of the week high pressure will build to our southwest allowing warm temperatures to move eastward. As we head into the week above average temperatures may make a return!
