We've had a few cold days this week, and that chill will last through the weekend. A strong ridge of high pressure will build out west with temperatures running nearly 15 to 25 degrees above average. Unfortunately, this will do nothing to help the drought situation that continues to worsen out west.
Just the opposite will happen through the Great Lakes and out east where highs will run almost 15 to 25 degrees below average. This pattern will stick around into the weekend, which will keep temperatures below average.
A strong low pressure system will help to break down the ridge out west on Sunday. This low will also pull a cold front through, but the air mass behind the front will have come from the Pacific, rather than the north. This means temperatures into next week will begin to warm into the 50's, possibly breaking the 60 degree mark for the first of April. Hopefully this isn't an April Fool's joke by Mother Nature.
As we head a little further into April, the jet stream will take on a more active, spring-like pattern with systems coming through every few days.
