Discussion

A warm front should lift north of the area later this morning resulting in a low-level wind shift to a south-to-southwest direction and a rise of temperatures this afternoon that can peak in the lower 70’s. We’ll stay in the warm air mass as we head into the weekend with 75+ degrees on the table for Saturday - a possible record-breaker - along with the threat of PM showers and thunderstorms. A cold front slides across the area on Easter Sunday producing occasional rain in the area and there can be a thunderstorm as well. The passage of the cold front will lead to colder conditions for the first half of next week with overnight lows below freezing a possibility late Tuesday night in some suburban locations.
