Forecast Discussion

It's cold out there.....still! Tonight will be quite cold, with subfreezing lows expected. Thursday night will have more valley frost, but a bit milder up top. Skies will be mostly clear during this period.

A weak disturbance will pass through Friday into early Saturday spreading more clouds into the region, although we’re not expecting measurable precipitation (maybe a few sprinkles late Friday night or early Saturday). Otherwise, expect a nice warm-up this Easter weekend as we enjoy a good deal of sunshine from Saturday afternoon through Sunday. Still, temperatures will just be getting back closer to normal for this time in April.

A cold front will bring our next shower chances by late Monday or Monday night, perhaps lingering into Tuesday.
