AVERAGE: It continues to look like an average early April forecast, which for most would seem like an Arctic outbreak given the warm March we went through. Temperatures over the Easter Weekend will be in the mid 50s to mid 60s with a chance of a shower or isolated storm on Saturday with a quick moving storm system.

BETTER CHANCES: The better chances of rain look to come late next week with the “unlucky day” storm on Thursday into early Friday with some showers and thunderstorms then, better and heavier chances to the south than north. Then again late Sunday (15th) into Monday (16th) with another system on its heels. Temperatures up to that point look to remain in the 50s to lower 60s for highs with possible frosty conditions again Monday and Tuesday morning (Tuesday especially)

POSSIBLE WARMUP: Looking toward and past the two week mark, temperatures look to rebound, but still not to the levels seen in mid to late March. Also several more systems look to bring some rainfall to the state helping to alleviate any drought conditions.
