Discussion

High pressure has shifted to a position over the western Atlantic Ocean during the past 24 hours and the result will be a widespread southwesterly flow of milder air across the eastern US. Temperatures this afternoon will approach the 70 degree mark and it’ll stay quite warm on Thursday as well as a frontal system approaches. That cold front is likely to generate periods of rain around here tomorrow night and then it’ll turn cooler on Friday following the frontal passage. Easter weekend generally looks pretty nice with cool, dry and sunny conditions on Saturday and the decent weather should hold on for Sunday before showers arrive Sunday night or Monday.
