Finally a Springlike Weekend

Today will be the beginning of what is probably the best weekend weather wise since last October. Today's high temperatures will be nearly ten (10) degrees lower than the low 70's experienced on Thursday. A week cold front with light rain accompanied the front late last night and early this morning. If sunshine is able to break out temperatures will rise to around 60 degrees later today. The real story will be the warm weather on tap this week. Temperatures on Saturday and Sunday will be in the upper 60's to lower 70's area wide! Saturday will be mostly sunny with chances of rain increasing through the day Sunday. Most of the rain should hold off until late Sunday into early Monday as a strong cold front moves through the area.

 A week cold front has moved through the area overnight dropping the temperatures nearly ten (1) degrees. The expected temperatures around 60 degrees are still near to slightly above normal for this time of the year.

Saturday the area will be under a strong flow out of the south. Precipitation will remain far from the area as sunny conditions allow temperatures to rise to near 70 degrees!

Sunday the area will still be in the warm sector as the strong flow out of the south continues. Temperatures will rise well into the 70's before chances of rain increase late in the day. A strong system will move into the Plain States and will generate thunderstorms that may possibly reach severe limits with isolated tornadoes.

Showers and thunderstorms will spread across the area on Monday as a strong storm system moves slowly through the area. If the rains become heavy, flooding will be good possibility along rivers and stream in the area.   Much colder air will arrive on winds out of the North on Tuesday with the snowbelt areas possibly seeing accumulating snows overnight. This appears to be a quick shot of cold area, but additonal details will be clear early next week.
