Discussion
The upcoming Easter weekend will be somewhat unsettled and it may be preceded by a deluge from later Friday into late Friday night. High pressure builds into the area today and winds will remain noticeable, but less of a factor than yesterday. A frontal system will approach the region in the overnight hours with the buildup of clouds and it’ll stall nearby keeping the threat for showers alive from later Wednesday into Thursday. This front will advance to the north of here as a warm front by later Thursday and we'll turn warmer and winds will intensify noticeably to close out the work week. In addition, as a strong cold front slowly works its way towards the east coast, rain will break out on Friday and it is likely to turn into a heavy rain event on Friday night and a thunderstorm or two can mix in as well. Instability showers are possible here this weekend, but it doesn't look like a total washout.
