Warmer days ahead

From the middle to upper 70's two weeks ago, to the 40's and 50's just last week, to temperatures back into the 60's and 70's this week, the weather during the last few weeks of April has been quite the rollercoaster ride.

At least our temperatures this week will be more seasonable, with highs rising back into the middle 60's.  The jet stream pattern keeps most of the active weather along the far southern Plains and Gulf states, but also blocks the majority of moisture from making much progress northward.  This means as weak disturbances move in from the North across the Midwest, they will have very little moisture to work with leaving us with a low rain threat until the weekend.

Once we head into the weekend, temperatures will warm into the 70's but with the warmth, will also come the chance for thunderstorms as we enter into a little more of an active weather pattern for next week.
