We were off to a cool and dry start this morning due to a cold front that moved through this weekend. Winter decided to show itself very briefly, reminding us that it is still April. However, this did not last long as temperatures should rebound quite nicely as we move into the afternoon hours.
We start out the day with showers thanks to a new system out of the Southwest, some of these showers will be heavy at times. Get ready for an off and on rainy day.
The HRRR is showing scattered rain and thunderstorms possible throughout the afternoon and into the evening. Here is the latest HRRR model (below), showing these scattered showers push off to our Northeast around 7PM.
A beautiful, sunny, warm, and breezy afternoon will give way to increasing clouds with showers and thunderstorms late tonight into tomorrow morning as a cold front swings through. Out ahead of, and behind this front, we will continue to see windy conditions, which is why the National Weather Service has placed us under a Wind Advisory until 1 am Friday. NWS:
If you’ve been avoiding mowing the lawn, or haven’t been able to due to the rain and storms over the weekend, now is your chance to catch up on some yard work.
We can expect high temperatures to reach the lower 80s today and tomorrow, which is around 10° above average for this time of year. We will also see some sunshine, adding to the beautiful spring weather.
It is an absolutely beautiful afternoon out there today! As you can see in the map below, most places in our region are in the mid and upper 70s with abundant sunshine. These conditions will continue into the evening with temperatures topping out right around 80 degrees. Skies will remain mainly clear overnight as an area of high pressure moves into the region bringing light winds and near normal temperatures with lows near 50 degrees.
The High Resolution Rapid Refresh model below gives us some art. You can see that it’s pretty hot, and most runs are just like this.
Rounds of non-severe showers and possibly storms continue most of the day. A couple HRRR runs throw some stronger storms into both counties around 4pm. Not totally sold on that right now.
