STORMY DAYS: Shower and thunderstorm activity will continue through the week with several hours of dry time as well. Some of the rainfall may be heavy with at least 1-2″ of rain possible by the time the storm departs early on Saturday. Severe weather is not expected with any of the storms, although some gusty winds may be possible with any of the thunderstorms.

ABOVE AVERAGE: Temperatures are going to remain above the seasonal average for the time being. Although temperatures will only be in the 60s to near 70 for the rest of the week, readings will climb back into the 70s next week as the ridge moves back over the area once more.

STORMY APRIL: Farther out into the run, there is a storm system that may bring some more stormy conditions to the state during the first few days of April. Temperatures are still going to remain above average then as well. There is no sign of any colder air coming down from Canada anytime soon.
